Both Jaguar style Director, Ian Callum, and Jaguar advanced style Director, Julian Thomson are alumni of the RCA, thus the firm’s decision to include them in the sculpture project.
Nine different style teams created proposals for the artwork, with the sculpture of Ewan Gallimore and Claire Miller selected as the winner.
The style bears a strong resemblance to the forthcoming F-Type Coupe, due in mid-2014, and was made utilizing numerous of the technologies used in the style of Jaguar’s production cars.
Talking about the sculpture, Gallimore and Miller said, “Our type associates with the Jaguar brand with its sculptural volumes, bespoke materials and visual lightness.”
The trainees had just two weeks to produce and present their proposals for the design. Those behind the winning artwork then travelled to Jaguar’s advance style team in Whitley, Coventry, to talk about exactly how the sculpture would be manufactured.
Julian Thompson, Jaguar advanced style Director, said, “This has been a amazing chance to challenge both ourselves and the trainees with a view on exactly how expressive Jaguar style can become in the future.”
