Gives me pangs about not sticking with art :( What a fascinating video, especially seeing them work in a tactile, spontaneous and hands-on way with the clay to achieve a design.

The video w. interior designer Nadya Arnaout ("emotional cocooning!") is just one example. Arnaout's design is a landmark effort that I hope spreads it's cues throughout the line. She's clearly a strong conceptual thinker. The E-89 is the first production car I know of where all the lead designers are women...someone please correct me if I'm wrong. In the past women automobile designers were slotted for color, materials and interior design. More or less kept in the kitchen with "women's work". The Z4 breaks the glass ceiling. Juli Blasi- exterior design Nadya Arnaout- interior design (also designed the interior for the CS Concept as well) Hilke Schaer- materials, trim and colors.

Arnaout’s design is a landmark effort that I hope spreads it’s cues throughout the line. She’s clearly a strong conceptual thinker.
