Cool Creations with Citroen Car Parts

French carmaker Citroen launched an online contest called “C-Design” aimed at web-savvy aficionados with the brief to utilise Citroën vehicle parts to design an object intended for everyday use. A jury of senior design figures including Citroën’s Head of Styling, Jean Pierre Ploué checked out thousands of design submissions, including a telephone made from a door handle, a staircase constructed from rear spoilers and a seat made from the bonnet of a C1 city car. -Continued

The €10,000 first prize in the final of Citroën’s International competition went to Ognyan Bozhilov from Bulgaria who designed a n ultra cool snow sledge constructed from Citroen car parts including a C4 Picasso’s rear seat, a C3 steering wheel, a C3 Pluriel’s roof pillars and the spoiler from a C4 Coupe.

Second place went to Roland Kaufmann from Austria, for his Citroën drain-cover concept made from a C4’s alloy rim and third place to Italian Valerio Stamaccioni, for his design which uses recycled glass from Citroën side windows to create a free-standing sculpture of glass sheets covered with special filters that play with the ambient lighting to create different optical effects. The ten finalists had their ideas prototyped and exhibited at Milan’s International Design Exhibition, I Saloni.
