Design legend Luigi Colani has passed away at the age of 91. Colani’s designs were an absolute deviation from the ordinary, with a minimal use of straight lines, and form that took heavy influence from organic curves, muscles, and biodynamics. The German industrial designer prided himself in having incredible versatility, working on everything from ballpoint pens to kitchens, and from grand pianos to grand automobiles. Colani’s career spanned over 50 years, having worked with companies such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Volkswagen, and BMW. Colani passed away at the age of 91. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
