What do an iPad and an Alfa Romeo 147 have in common? Why do you have to look at cars from afar?
How is car design responding to changes in society and to our fears about their environmental impact?

These and many other questions are answered in Curves, the illustrated essay created by Fabio Filippini – one of the greatest Italian car designers and former Director of Design at Pininfarina – working in conjunction with an appreciated expert such as Gabriele Ferraresi.
A journey that brings together the history of automotive design with the personal and professional experiences of Filippini, who in his thirty-year career has thought up the cars and trains that we all know, see and use every day.
