Design history of a very special kind: Stay tuned for our upcoming reel, where Professor Dr. Peter Zec shares his personal view on cars and their sociocultural as well as personal meaning to him. 📍Now on display in the exhibition “70 Years of Design – Masterpieces Selected by Peter Zec” at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen. #RedDotDesignMuseum #70YearsOfDesign #DesignExhibition #Fiat500 #Cinquecento #AutomotiveDesign #DesignIcon #DesignHistory #ItalianDesign
