musical chairs at Pininfarina:
Carlo Bonzanigo will be the new head of design of Pininfarina starting from next January 9th, reporting directly to CEO Silvio Pietro Angori. Bonzanigo succeeds Fabio Filippini, design vice president since April 2011, leaving the company for personal reasons on March 31st, 2017.
For Bonzanigo is actually a comeback. Born in Lugano 50 years ago, an Italian and Swiss citizen, he started his career in Pininfarina in 1995 following a Master in transportation design from the Art Center College of Design of Vevey, Switzerland and, previously, a Master degree in mechanical engineer from the University of Zurich.
In 2004 he moved to Paris to PSA Group, working for the Citroën brand with several responsibilities, including, for several years, the role of Head of Concept Car and Advanced Design.
From 2008 to 2012 he was “Maître Expert Design” of PSA Peugeot Citroën, representing “Design Expertise” of the Group at congresses and in international committees.
The list of projects run under his guidance includes the concept cars Citroën DS Hypnos, Citroën DS Revolte, Citroën Tubik and DS Numéro 9; among the production cars, Citroën C3 Picasso, C4 AirCross and C1.
In 2015 Bonzanigo left PSA Group to join Q-iD in Forlì, Italy, a consultant company specialised in automotive and industrial design, to lead – as Design Director of the Automotive Division and Member of the Board of Q-iD – the Automotive Division Q-Red in Maranello.

He's tired of all the slings and arrows designers get when starting at Pininfarina

 

Or maybe he subscribes to the jm2 school of corporate survival:
'Keep your head down, when the shooting stops, take a quick look around'

 

If you only knew, but NEVER a dull moment

Look up the term 'corporate politics' and that comes close

 

You guys haven't served your time in the 'corporate trenches yet'
But if you dodged that experience, more power to ya

 

whoa, thanks for posting all the cool photos.
Have not seen the Corvette art display yet, thanks for those!!!
Cool thing about all those Corvette sketches is that I know those guys. I remember seeing much of that work on the walls in the studio. How cool is that?...............Now it's 'art'.....who knew??

 

Now the musical chairs at BMW:
