ABOUT FABIO:
Fabio Filippini is the Former Design Director of Pininfarina and before that, the Vice President of Interior Design for Renault.
I cannot reel off the endless list of this man’s accolades, but I will say that he has been responsible for some of my favorite Concept Cars over the last 10 years ( Pininfarina H2 Speed, BMW Pininfarina GranLusso Coupe, Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo and, of course, the Pininfarina Sergio Concept).
Fabio is one of those leaders that transcend every proverbial box that we love to put Designers into. He has not only designed exteriors and interiors, but he is also a very successful Product Designer, Brand Strategist and with his beautiful book, Curve, he can now add Author to that list.
He has successfully navigated every type of design environment from large OEM’s to small boutique Design Houses and is now running his own Creative Consultancy in his adoptive home of Tokyo. He speaks 5 languages and I think it’s safe to say that he is pretty fluent in the language of Design.
Fabio’s brilliance is immediately apparent when you talk to him and it comes across so effortlessly. He has nothing to prove and his down-to-earth demeanor might take you by surprise.
It doesn’t get much better than this - Grazie Fabio!

ABOUT ME:
I am a South African Designer, Digital Modeller and the host of Crown Unfiltered. I will be talking to a cross section of people that work in the Car Design Industry.
These will include designers, digital and clay modellers, vis artists and colour & material designers. The focus of our conversations will be centered around personal processes and experiences within the business. My aim is to demystify some of the preconceptions about this industry and give people an unadulterated glimpse into the business.
I also wish to give the younger generation the opportunity to see that the people that these professionals come in different shapes and sizes and some of them will be unknown. The intention is to see that you should always be yourself and not let your job define or change who you are.
Please get in contact if there is something specific you would like me to cover. I would also be really grateful if you could subscribe and share the podcast with anyone that has an affinity for cars, design or both. Thank you! Sam
