Big Love for a Vision

July 1, 2021

This DLD Summer session sees the world premiere of a car: The MINI Vision Urbanaut was designed to make the most of limited space in bustling cities, while at the same time leading the way in terms of sustainability and design.

Many of the Urbanaut’s materials are recycled or come from natural resources. The engine is electric (of course) and the interior can flexibly adapt to various usage scenarios, as MINI Lead Designer Oliver Heilmer and Head of Brand Bernd Körber explain in conversation with DLD founder Steffi Czerny.
