The story continues with an exploration of the design principals around Theory 1 – Lotus’ most recent concept car, a showcase of the brand’s vision for the future.
Ben Payne, Vice President of Design, Lotus Group said: “Milan Design Week is a global stage for design, creativity and innovation. Design is at the heart of everything we do, and this event allows us to share the detailed processes that define our cars.

In my creations, I seek the same dynamism: fluid lines, aerodynamic shapes, the sense of movement. Because design, like a race car, is not made to stay still, but to excite and constantly push the limits.”
The exhibition space will be open from the 9-13 April, dedicated to ‘The Drivers’, a customer focused area hosting an open exhibition, talks and workshops with like-minded creators and designers, including key partners such as Pirelli, Motorskins, and Olivetti.
