Polestar announces winners of its design contest

The winners of Polestar's first annual Design Contest have been chosen. Their designs will soon embark on a global exhibition, being displayed virtually and in Polestar Spaces around the world.

The Polestar Design Contest invited both professional and student designers to create a vision of future mobility with the theme of 'purity'. They were asked to present a new Polestar that exhibits the purest of designs, a vision of Polestar's evolution in the year 2040 that follows the Polestar design philosophy.

Specifically, the vision did not need to be a car.

The winner of the professional category is Konrad Cholewka from Poland with his 'Polestar MMXL' design - an inclusive, autonomous pod with a flexible interior design, pure in its combination of two geometric shapes.

The student category has been won by Siddhesh Bhogale from India with his 'Polestar 40' design - an airship that looks ahead 20 years by combining Polestar design with a 21st century aviation approach.

An honourable mention goes to Arthur Martins from Brazil for his 'Spanning' electric yacht, the design of which shows the potential for an electric cruiser that offers a true alternative to conventional craft, just as Polestar cars do in the automotive world.

The winning designs will now be brought to life as 1:5 scale models and first shown in a virtual exhibition before beginning a global tour in Polestar's launch markets. They will appear at Polestar Spaces in China, Europe and North America, according to local regulations.
