Some of the most talented design students in the U.K. from Central Saint Martins (CSM) are being offered the opportunity of a lifetime in a contest to design a car for the future and win an exclusive internship with Renault's top designers, based in Paris. For the second year, Renault is teaming up with CSM, a world-leading centre for art and design, to challenge its MA Industrial Design students.
This year, students have been asked to consider ways in which cars may be used and shared in future, when owning a car outright may become less prevalent. The competition requires students to suggest how Renault might use modularity to design a car, which can be adapted for many different requirements and for a range of potential drivers.
The winner will spend two weeks at the Renault Technocentre in Paris, working with senior designers and experiencing cutting-edge technology such as a full-size virtual reality suite, which puts the designer right inside the vehicle. Their winning design will go on display at this year's designjunction exhibition, for which Renault is a partner, to be held 21st to 24th September in King's Cross, London.
Renault's award-winning concept, the Trezor, will also appear at designjunction, housed inside a bespoke interactive structure. With its welcoming style and services geared towards driving pleasure, this electric GT embodies future mobility and automotive passion. The surrounding stand will aim to take visitors behind the scenes of the concept, highlighting the extraordinary skill and care that went into its creation.
This year's design competition will be judged by a panel of experts well known in both the design and motor industries, lead by head judge Anthony Lo, Vice President of Exterior Design at Groupe Renault.
