'Witty and uplifting'
Evening Standard's Critic's Choice

'Work of undisputed brilliance'
Amanda Levete, Building Design

A window on the fantastical world of Luigi Colani, the exhibition brought together Colani's extraordinary large scale prototype designs including trucks, aircraft and cars. A great maverick of 20th Century design, with a career spanning almost six decades, Colani has applied his organic design style to produce biodynamic cars, boats, planes, ceramics and consumer goods, as well as creating alternative futuristic concepts for transport and architecture. A powerful influence on contemporary designers such as Ross Lovegrove and Future Systems, the retrospective of Colani’s work was curated by Albrecht Bangert and designed by Nigel Coates.
