Color one
This conceptual reinterpretation of the MINI One explores the car through a process of systematic deconstruction—analyzing each component to reveal its essence. Layer by layer, the vehicle was dismantled, with individual parts reworked through experimental use of colour, texture, and material. The result is a collection of sculptural “Art Parts” that stand independently, offering new aesthetic and functional perspectives on car design. Elements such as transparent resin tyres, reupholstered seats referencing rally heritage, and detached doors finished with custom surfaces highlight the potential for creative reinterpretation. Integrated accessories—including bags within the frame and a visor reimagined as a clutch—blur the line between mobility and lifestyle. Landscape scenes positioned in the windows evoke a layered view of time, presenting mobility as a journey through past, present, and future.
