Listen now
Description
Maximilian Missoni has been head of design for Polestar Cars since 2018. After joining Volvo Cars 2012 and subsequently promoted to VP of exterior design in 2014, it was a natural progression for Missoni to become Polestar's design director following Thomas Ingenlath appointment as CEO of the premium electric vehicle brand. In this candid FORMAST interview, Missoni speaks with Eric Gallina about his career path -- from the early days of discovering design, his time as a student at the RCA and his first job at Volkswagen -- as well as his time at Volvo and Polestar's design ethos and its future design direction.
