Winners of the Interior Motives Student Design Awards 2009The automotive design community celebrated the industry's top future designers at a glamorous awards ceremony during the Frankfurt motor show.
An alpine sports vehicle from Coventry University student Philip Woodman was selected as the best overall in this year's Interior Motives Design Awards.
Woodman's concept vehicle made a huge impression on the expert judging panel.
Design chief for auto interiors at GM Europe, John Puskar, described it as a "beautiful use of form vocabulary", while Wally Yachts design director, Adriana Monk, formerly with Jaguar, identified its "elegant, modern, precise interior with an overall harmony".
Hundreds of students from dozens of design schools submitted entries to the Awards competition, now in its seventh year.
The finalists for each of the eight specific awards categories assembled in Frankfurt's renowned Cocoon Club, and included students at colleges in Canada, China, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the UK and USA.
Top designers from around the world gathered to see the ideas that will go into the cars we will be driving in the future.
