PERSPECTIVES IN PRECISION & POETRY FOR BMW
by ALFREDO HÄBERLI
14 -19 APRIL 2015
VIA AMATORE SCIESA 3, MILAN
Last year’s winner of the Grand Prix Design Alfredo Häberli has teamed up with the BMW Design team to create an installation based on a multi-layered interpretation of the BMW Design leitmotif “Precision & Poetry”. Using personal recollections and experiences of cars, Alfredo Häberli elevates the theme of mobility to an associative plane. Against the background of highly automated control, he imbues the driving experience with new meaning and renders it tangible within an impressive spatial dimension.
