An abstracted Lamborghini, a scrunched-up bike and a motorcycle operated by a smartphone are among the pieces showcased in an exhibition at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
The exhibition Disruptors features work by Rem D Koolhaas and Joey Ruiter, two renowned creatives who have both explored automotive design. An array of objects are on view, ranging from a high-heel shoe and sunglasses to vehicles powered by humans or motors.
Koolhaas' concept automobile, pictured top and above, is called Lo Res Car and envisioned as an abstracted Lamborghini Countach
"Disruptors is a critical analysis on how two designers with backgrounds in fashion, architecture and industrial design have come to perceive the automobile," said Terry L Karges, executive director of LA's Petersen Automotive Museum, in a statement. "This exhibit is unlike any other we've presented in the past because the content challenges common perceptions of vehicles, and the presentation is appropriately unconventional in its aesthetic."
Koolhaas is also exhibiting angular sunglasses from United Nude's Lo Res collection
Ruiter, who is based in Michigan, has worked with a range of brands to create unconventional furniture, household objects, powerboats and other pieces.
Koolhaas, a nephew of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founded the footwear brand United Nude in 2003. Last year the company moved its headquarters from Guangzhou to Los Angeles.
