Meet the incredible Peter Schreyer in Roots and Wings by gestalten
During Peter Schreyer’s childhood, the local hill climb motor races were some of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events of the year. These races, which first started in France toward the end of the nineteenth century, were ideal opportunities for manufacturers to demonstrate their newest models’ capabilities not just in straight-line speed but in cornering, torque, and reliability
From Bavaria to South Korea, explore the conceptualization of 15 of Peter Schreyer’s most impactful designs.
When Peter Schreyer first started working on interiors, every element was modeled by hand. Even for something as small as an air vent, a drawing would be given to the model-making department, then a week or two later it would come back as a crafted wooden object, like the toys that Peter’s grandfather used to fashion in his workshop
While some car designers are self-confessed petrol-heads whose interests are focused on cars, and cars alone, Peter Schreyer is on the opposite side of the spectrum: he gains as much inspiration from art in all its different forms as he does from his peers in the automobile industry. Find out more about this exceptional car designer in Roots and Wings by gestalten.
Peter Schreyer’s fascination with art began as a young boy when he discovered the Dadaists. Since then, his own creative practice has flourished, including sculpture and paintings such as The Explorer this one.

Have a look at the Hyundai Intrado Concept by Peter Schreyer in Roots and Wings.
Although it is a mid-sized sedan, the New York Concept has a long hood and generous dash-to-axle ratio, which sets up the proportions and powerful stance. According to Peter Schreyer, the best angle to view the car is a rear three-quarter view. “It’s best for showing the elegant posture with powerful sculpted rear fenders,” he says.
Peter Schreyer was also the designer behind this concept by Volkswagen. Discover more details in Roots and Wings by gestalten.
The Kia POP concept car was a statement about the design possibilities of electric vehicles, made at a time when the first mass-produced electric cars had just started to appear. Peter Schreyer sought to push the envelope. “We wanted to show that electric cars didn’t have to be sober and emotionless,” says Peter. “Why not make something with real character?”
