dear designboom reader, these days, cars are the canvas showcasing art, fashion, architecture, and even superhero-inspired designs. during the 2024 cannes festival, BMW unveiled its ultramarine fashion-show car dedicated to naomi campbell, glimmering with sequins. days after, the 20th BMW art car by artist julie mehretu debuted at the centre pompidou in paris with its neon-colored veils. batman’s alter ego, bruce wayne, is the center of design influence for automobili pininfarina as it puts a new twist to its electric hypercars with ‘gotham’ and ‘dark night’ models. car designs can demonstrate organic and fluid architecture too, as seen in AZULIK mobility’s EK, a doorless electric car whose fiberglass body mimics the curves of modern structures. thanks for reading! matthew burgos | editor |
