vero ma sarei comunque curioso di vedere cosa farebbe oggi. Fiat deve essere un marchio dal design pragmatico ma all' italiana e lui lo sapeva proporre ; oggi come oggi sono schiavi del 500 feeling forse perchè temono di non essere capaci di proporre qualcosa di altrettanto valido ma slegato dal passato

Una evo di questo capolavoro (seppur so benissimo che non è nata per essere una Fiat)

E IMHO qua avrà capito che forse era il caso di appendere la matita al chiodo.

A parte tutto quello che dici tu è IMHO c'è già in Fiat ed è Panda in primis e ci metterei anche Tipo che è piuttosto "giugiaresca".

Comunque Leboine è l'uomo che ha disegnato Captur e Clio che IMHO già ai tempi le ho sempre viste più vicine a Fiat che a Renault.

ma a 80 anni cosa può proporre? Al massimo potremmo beccarci le idee del figlio ed è meglio lasciar perdere...

è vero ma è anche vero che parliamo di fiat che ha solo bisogno di un design razionale

non mi aspetterei da lui l' inventiva ma un buon coordinamento delle idee che sicuramente i designer al CS hanno

davvero a quell'età può avere la freschezza mentale di individuare l'idea giusta per i prossimi 10 anni?  e se si, perché non lo fa con la sua azienda?

 

Lasciamo i miti dove sono... Giugiaro è un Maestro dello stile, ma il suo lo ha fatto (e da un po')

L'unico progetto degno di merito che io ricordi dove forse ha messo mano era questa:

Vince Galante is appointed vice president of Jeep exterior design reporting to Chief Design Officer Ralph Gilles. Galante will be responsible for all exterior design activities for the Jeep and Wagoneer by Jeep vehicle lineups.  

Since joining the company in 2005, Galante has held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility and has been responsible for interior and exterior design, global UX, management and execution of various products and programs, including the Uconnect platform, Grand Wagoneer Concept, and the Airflow Vision Concept. Galante received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in transportation design from the College for Creative Studies and an executive MBA from Michigan State University.  

During his career, Galante spent 12 years in the Jeep design studio working under former Head of Jeep Design Mark Allen, who announced his retirement from the company after 30 years.

Ryan Nagode is appointed vice president of interior design reporting to Gilles. In this position, Nagode will lead the interior design direction for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Truck and Wagoneer by Jeep brand vehicles, ensuring a cohesive and consistent interior design language representative of each brand and its heritage.  

Since first joining the company in 2003 as a product designer, Nagode has helped to create numerous high-profile vehicles. Most recently, he led the interior design for the all-new Ram 1500 Revolution battery-electric vehicle concept and the all-new, all-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV, the first battery-electric light-duty pickup truck from Ram Truck.

“I would also like to thank Mark Allen for his indelible contributions to the Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck brands.

Teamwork and Mentorship Defines Success for Chief Design Officer, Ralph Gilles

While accepting his EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award from the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, Stellantis Chief Design Officer Ralph Gilles made sure to highlight what led him to that incredible moment – his team, who he brought up on stage to share the spotlight with him.  

 

“Together, we created a work family,” Gilles remarked at the awards dinner June 16 at the Conner Center in Detroit. “Their aptitude for smart and successful design is why I truly feel I have the best team in the business. Proud doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about all of you. This award is for you.”  

 

Gilles was selected for the prestigious honor, now in its 36th year, by previous winners. This elite list includes noted designers Chris Bangle, Peter Brock, Wayne Cherry, Willie G. Davidson, Walter de’Silva, Leonardo Fioravanti, Tom Gale, Giorgetto Giugiaro, Patrick LeQuement, Syd Mead, Shiro Nakamura, Stewart Reed, Peter Schreyer, Jack Telnack and Ed Welburn. 

“The announcement of this award late last year was a genuine surprise and gave me pause for thought … pause for reflection,” Gilles said. “As I was reminded by (EyesOn Design founder) Dr. Philip Hessburg the day he broke the news to me –   that the previous recipients of this prestigious award vote in the next honoree, making it in effect, ever more significant every year.” 

Gilles, 53, is celebrating 30 years with Stellantis and its previous companies. He has overseen and contributed to the creation of a vast portfolio of eye-catching designs and turned out some of the most exciting vehicles on the road today, wearing badges of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® and Ram Truck brands, such as the Chrysler 300, Dodge Viper SRT, Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as concept vehicles that include the Chrysler Portal, Chrysler Airflow and Dodge Charger Daytona SRT.  

The award was presented to Gilles by his mentor and retired Chrysler Corp. Head of Design Tom Gale, who served as Chrysler Corp. head of design from 1985 to 2000 and who helped to transform the automaker into an automotive design leader.

Gilles called Gale his “personal hero.”  

“As a young designer at Chrysler, fresh out school, if anyone asked me who or what I wanted to be when I grew up, the answer would have simply been: ‘Tom.’

“Tom was one of the most graceful of executives I observed. Honestly, it was his leadership that impressed me the most. He gave everyone the respect they deserved. He had an ear and time for any level of designer.

“His technical depth and personal human grace have inspired me throughout my career.”  

EyesOn Design celebrates automotive design excellence of the past, present and future by drawing attention to the importance of design in the industry. EyesOn Design events, such as the award ceremony, provide financial support and raise awareness for the DIO’s research and support for the visually impaired.
