Project Brief

Ever since 1964, the Porsche 911 is an iconic supercar, a master piece of the rear-engine: its unique traction control has offered pleasuring drives to many generations.

Project Innovation/Need

The old-fashioned frog eyes headlights, the elegant wide fender, the vibrant and streamlined body, have turned the 911 into a desirable car for many since the 60's

Design Challenge

For the 901 Carfa, we used the iconic 911 Porsche Targa as a basis for the design, combining its classic body lines with a deluxe sofa.

Sustainability

The 901 Carfa is delicately hand-made, with layering car paint, premium Nappa leather quilted with Alcantara suede, and neatly hand-sewed: every 901 Carfa can be regarded a supreme.




This award celebrates creative and innovative design for either a component or overall product. Consideration given to aspects that relate to human usage, aesthetics, selection of components and materials, and the resolution of assembly, manufacturing and the overall function.
