CAVËN Atelier X Fabrizio Giugiaro
HOMMAGE 26
What if an important automotive designer could return to one of his own creations decades later?
What if new materials, engineering and manufacturing capabilities made solutions possible that could not have existed when the original automobile was conceived?
What would remain untouched, what would evolve, what might finally become possible?
Hommage 26 answers those questions.
Developed in collaboration with Fabrizio Giugiaro and GFG Style, Hommage 26 brings the author back to a significant automotive work from his career. Almost three decades later, the original idea is revisited with the benefit of hindsight, contemporary engineering, new materials and manufacturing possibilities.
Remove the compromise.
Enhance the character.
Design Authorship
Every Hommage begins with the original idea for that particular vehicle: understanding what gave it character, where circumstance imposed compromise, and where contemporary capability can make that idea more complete.
The result is a continuation of automotive authorship.
Built to be driven
Hommage automobiles are conceived for use. Engineering, materials and technology are introduced where they improve the experience of the complete machine. The objective is an automobile its owner instinctively reaches for — a car that creates reasons to drive it rather than reasons to preserve it.
Hommage 26 is planned as a strictly limited series of 25 automobiles and marks Chapter One of the CAVËN Atelier Designer Series.
Significant automobiles should remain alive.
CAVËN Atelier is a creative engineering studio working across automotive design, contemporary technology, specialist manufacturing and craftsmanship — spanning complete automobiles, individual commissions, engineered components, objects and experiences.
The Hommage programme is the fullest expression of that philosophy: each Hommage gives the original designer of an important automobile the opportunity to return to it with the perspective of time and access to capabilities unavailable during its original development.
Whoever thinks design stops at manufacturing may have left the original designer behind.
