Gorden Wagener interview: The man behind Mercedes Benz design...

Paul-Bracq-BMW · 12-19-2016, 08:20 PM

From the January 2017 issue of CAR UK. A fascinating interview of the man who helped made Mercedes Benz exciting over the past few years with great design...

One might not like the design language of the current MB, but on the other hand, an eminently conservative company is now seen as exciting whereas a once former exciting company is seen as conservative...

I love that even though he's the head of design, he still is hands on and has a perfectionist eye.

I prefer Pfeiffer's designs especially from the late 2000's. They had character and weren't as monotonous as Wagener's jelly beans.
