Auto Car | 2010 Bentleys of the Future Royal College of Art | Bentley and the Royal College of Art in London have launched a competition on the theme “the Bentley of the future”, which was attended by 18 teams of students undertook to follow for a few months working directly at the factory in Crewe. After an initial phase of work, four selected designers were able to refine their projects under the supervision of Raul Pires (Head of Design for the winged B) and its staff. The author of the sketch and the best runner-up will win a six-month contract in downtown style Bentley.
The South Korean Bora Kim has created a sports car engine interchangeably as needed, the Swedish Marten Wallgren has reinterpreted the Continental GT and David Seesing wanted to design a car with the body design and aerodynamics developed radical extreme. No less interesting the proposal by Mikko Heikkinen for a Bentley for very high performance.
Some of the world’s best young designers from London’s Royal College of Art (RCA) have created a series of remarkable ‘Bentleys of the Future’ designs in a unique partnership with the famous British company.
Eighteen Vehicle Design Course Masters students have spent the last few months studying the work of Bentley’s leading designers, including Head of Exterior Design Raul Pires who played a key role designing the company’s new Mulsanne flagship. Drawing on Bentley’s proud design heritage. they have sought to develop a range of striking and futuristic car designs.
During the next few days the four designers will be working flat-out with their course tutors and EXA’s analysts to refine their work before meeting with Raul Pires and Bentley’s design chief Dirk van Braeckel for the final review.
The four Bentley/Exa finalists are Bora Kim, David Seesing, Marten Wallgren and Mikka Heikkinen. Bora (26) from South Korea has created a Bentley which enables the owner to easily select their preferred engine for any given journey whilst Sweden’s Marten (27) has created a futuristic version of the Bentley Continental GT.
THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART (www.rca.ac.uk) is the world’s only wholly postgraduate university of art and design, specialising in teaching and research and offering the degrees of MA, MPhil and PhD across the disciplines of fine art, applied art, design, communications and humanities. There are over 850 masters and doctoral students and more than a hundred professionals interacting with them – including scholars, leading art and design practitioners, along with specialists, advisors and distinguished visitors.
Vehicle Design at the RCA seeks to pioneer new approaches for our mobile futures. Traffic jams, congestion-charging, parking restrictions, safety and environmental concerns are all determinants of the changing landscape for private and public transport. Central to the course methodology is the understanding of the broader issues of vehicle design necessary to optimise opportunities for mobility.
Since the foundation of the course in 1967, graduates have influenced thinking on all aspects of vehicle design. Consequently, the department has excellent contacts with the motor industry and public transport operators. Visiting professionals and Vehicle Design Affiliates enrich specialist projects by lectures, workshops and visits to design studios. Ninety two per cent of RCA Vehicle Design Graduates gain employment in a related field or industry.
