The BMW Gina. Also called the fabric car or the tool less car. Just when you thought that Chris Bangle could not get any more pompous, now he actually has good reason to be. If you can not follow the link search BMW Gina and watch the you tube video.

the sincerest form a flattery

Why spend all that money on annual design exploration competitions...it looks to me like they just added some clay to a TT.

You probably know this but...01

The concept for the Smart Car was initially developed by Nicolas Hayek, president of Swatch Group, the Swiss watchmaker famous for its fashionable plastic watch dials and band graphics. Swatch's original idea was to produce a radical new small car suitable for city driving using advanced technology, such as a hybrid powerplant. It was to be priced low enough to be affordable to the young people who made up much of Swatch's clientele. Hayek also believed there would be a good market for rentals at train stations, where visitors could get a small car for traveling relatively short distances. Originally it was also intended to be short enough to allow the driver to nose-into a normally parallel parking set-up and thus allow more parking. Hayek began the development by working with the Engineering School of Biel in 1990. In 199. eventually, Swatch set up a joint venture with Volkswagen. Both companies pretty much lost their way and make nothing noteworthy now but when they were on the upswing it was some combination.

Interesting use of warm and cool colors as well as an off-beat blue. I think it works.

Timex kids Digital

While I was at Timex a few days ago I remembered that it has been a while since I visited Timexpo, their store and museum in downtown Waterbury, CT. I am very happy to see that our Timex Kids Digital design is still in the line and performing well. The design was done by Michael DiTullo, Karl Vanderbeek and me almost 8 years ago.
