Design Brief 2021 Pure, progressive performance.
This is the ethos of Polestar. These three words capture the essence of the electric performance brand, their design-led approach, and their ambition to bring electric mobility into a more progressive, sustainable future.
This year, the theme is “Progress”. In a landscape of developing technologies, evolving lifestyles, and fast-growing concern for the climate emergency, design needs to be the driving force for positive change.
The brief is to design a Polestar that would advance societal progression. Designs should display new ways of thinking that would encourage positive change in society, including responses to the ongoing climate crisis. 2020 saw the first annual Polestar Design Contest, with a variety of concepts as submissions.
This year’s approach will be no different: It doesn’t have to be a car… but it does have to be a Polestar.
