COACHMAKERSAWARD Coachmakers Award 11/11 - One Week- 2nd prize Winner
The brief was to create my ultimate vehicle; One of my most favourite cars is Marcello Gandini’s Lamborghini Miura. To combine the sharp form language of current Lamborghini’s with the sleekness of the Miura was a nice challenge during this project. I took a vanguard fashion pattern as inspiration for the shape and brought therewith the traditional and vanguard aspect one step further. Lamborghini “Moda” for the Worship Company of Coachmakers. The instituition rewarded this project and the presentation of my portfolio with the 2nd prize over all Winner.

ECHOESOFTIME Masterthesis 03/12 - 4 month - RCA
With this project I want to create a car which reacts partly and subtle to its surrounding and therewith gives the user a new experience by driving it everyday. The Prism as an inspirational source refracts “white� light into its DNA colours RGB, this approach and a projection of these colours according to the cars surroundings let echoes of time become a momentary sculpture. As you can store the colours and project them wherever and whenever you want Echoes of Time behaves like a visual perfume.
