Solved by many: A Selection Of European Design (By Design II)

well done! :)

@re · November 20, 2008, 09:24:10 AM

Let me just spill the beans. If somebody else gets the point, it's OK.

The 500 series Shinkansen high-speed Japanese passenger train was designed by German company Neumeister Design in the early 1990s. Head of design at Neumeister design is Alexander Neumeister (1941-), who studied industrial design in Ulm between 1963 and 1968. In 1966, he won an international design competition arranged by Bertone (who in 1966 introduced the Lamborghini Miura to an unsuspecting world).

I know that he also designed an off-road car as part of his diploma work, but I have no idea of what car that might have been. So I'm lost.

Allemano · November 20, 2008, 09:29:49 AM

No, you did well!!! :)

It's indeed the Bertone design competition award. Actually the car hasn't had a certain name to my knowledge. Do you think you could manage posting a picture of this car? And would you tell me the name of the award?

Recently I've contacted Neumeister Design to get more additional infos about the car, but obviousely they had more important things to do...

No, I have never seen it and I have no idea what it looks like. My sources don't tell me more than I've already said - I think that if I'm going to find out more I'll have to buy the book that's been written on the guy...

At least to tell the name of the award should be duck soup! ;) To get the points you have to name it and on which category Neumeister won the award!

BTW: I haven't got the book, but two (fuzzy) pics..

The Neumeister puzzle is in 'hold' position for @re till tomorrow morning

@re · November 20, 2008, 11:32:40 AM

The name of the award is the "Grifo d'Oro". As he did design a sportscar, I'm guessing that there was a sportscar category...

@re · November 20, 2008, 11:55:52 AM

#10 wouldn't by any chance be a Giugiaro ski boot? He patented one in 1992 (patent no. D326761), and this one does look a bit like it has his design language of the time. I got a certain Machimoto vibe ;)

If so, the car could be... let's see... the VW Golf, for example.

Allemano · November 20, 2008, 12:16:37 PM

No, Giugiaro was the one with the noodle.. ;D
Each of the products is related to a different designer!

About the award: Grifo D'Oro is correct, but the name of Neumeister's particular award is something more specific. There were two different catagories. (for designers a well known term and it's not to hard too guess!)

If you agree I would give you four points for this puzzle (one point less). If you disagree the puzzle's still open for all.

@re · November 20, 2008, 05:50:35 PM

If you say that there are two different categories, that should make it easier - as Enrico Fumia seems to have won the Junior award that year, I'm guessing that the other category was for Seniors, or maybe professional designers.

About the points: You're the master of this puzzle, I'll go with whatever you decide.

Mario Bellini have worked for Fiat, Lancia and Renault, his most remarked design was the dashboard for the Lancia Thema Volumex:

Lancia Trevi methinks ;)

Senior Award is correct! :) 5 points!

Here's a compilation of the price winners: (kind of 'Who is Who?' of European automotive design!)

#10 is a ski-boot, the Dachstein Scarpone Sci from 1978. Design by Paulo Martin. He have work for Pininfarina, and was responsible for cars like Rolls Royce Camargue, Fiat 130 Coupé, Ferrari Modulo 512, Peugeot 104 and Lancia Beta Montecarlo. He also designed the famous edgy b logo for Bertone.

That's correct! :)

#7 - Is this object used in photography?
#8 - Is the designer Italian?

Allemano · July 09, 2009, 10:12:50 AM

#7 - Yes!
#8 - Yes!

I've forgotten some details, wait a moment I'll give some clues! :D

Allemano · July 09, 2009, 10:43:57 AM

#7: The designer of this product was head of design at one of the most important European car companies. Few years ago he left that company for a new job challenge at the Far East...

The man behind #8 worked as far as I know always as a freelancer, but made one of the most remarkable 4-seaters of the eighties...

enough?

Paul Jaray · July 09, 2009, 04:13:28 PM

#7 - ~~Walter De Silva - Chris Bangle - Bruno Sacco - Patrick Le Quément - Ian Callum - Luc Donckerwolke - Wolfgang Egger~~

So far so good?

Allemano · July 09, 2009, 05:06:18 PM

Yes, none of them!

That four-seater was a controversial Italian sportscar as well. C'mon!

08

Beneteau Monte Carlo 37 open
Pierangelo Andreani
Maserati Biturbo

Allemano · August 18, 2009, 11:54:34 AM

I actually meant the Ferrari Mondial, but never mind.
You found the boat and the name of the designer! Well done!
ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ;)

Allemano · August 18, 2009, 12:00:01 PM

Only #07 left and another 5 points to score

Allemano · December 05, 2009, 05:18:43 PM

To get's this finally done:

pnegyesi · December 06, 2009, 12:20:00 AM

No7: Minox DD1 digital camera from 2003. It seems it was designed by Peter Schreyer, who designed the original Audi TT, the previous generation Audi A4 and A3 before he went on to become chief designer at Kia in 2006.
