Gather for drinks and informal conversation ahead of the evening programme.

What makes a design truly iconic?

In this panel discussion, some of the world’s leading car designers reveal the vehicles, objects and creative works that have shaped the way they think about design.

From cars to architecture, product design, fashion and beyond, each panellist will nominate a personal design icon and explain what makes it special. Through these choices, the discussion will explore the principles that endure beyond changing trends: proportion, simplicity, innovation, emotion and character.

Expect personal stories, strong opinions and a few surprising selections as we discover the designs that continue to inspire today’s automotive creative leaders.

Following the evening’s discussions, we invite you to continue the conversation over drinks at this relaxed reception, bringing together designers, industry professionals and creative leaders for an informal close to the day, offering space for networking, inspiration and new connections.
