Fascination of Transportation

Danish Design Centre, Copenhagen

Best international car design

18 Nov 2006 - 18 Mar 2007, Danish Design Centre
Experience the eight cars that represent the last 50 years’ best international car design, when fascination of the car’s design, shape and aesthetics is in focus.

A jury of Danish car experts has selected eight different cars which, from a design viewpoint, constitute examples of the world’s best car design. The cars all represent design which is the result of a realization of a design concept. However, although the jury has spoken, the design and car interested have to be patient. The cars will not be revealed until the opening of the exhibition.

The reason why the Danish Design Centre has chosen to put focus on car design is that cars are very much exponent of design, new trends and innovation. Moreover, the car is probably currently the strongest symbol of personal freedom that there is, and at the same time, except for our homes, it is the most expensive design product that we invest in.

In addition to the eight cars, the exhibition will also show three varying cars, which put focus on customization of cars, safety, intelligent cars and Danish car designers’ influence on international car design.

The Jury

The jury is constituted by architect, writer and expert on car design Niels Kryger (president of the jury), the internationally renowned Danish car designer Henrik Fisker, responsible editor-in-chief for the Danish magazine “Bil Magasinet” Mikkel Thomsager and responsible editor-in-chief for the Danish magazine “Motor” Christian Koch.

The cars have been selected on the following criteria:
· The cars must be produced in the period from 1950 till today.
· The selection must happen on the basis of a professional design motivation with focus on the cars’ appearance and aesthetics, rather than for example the cars’ technical equipment, driving properties, economy or environmental concern etc.
· The cars must all be, or have been, industrially produced.
