Project Thesis | Volkswagen BULL·E | Mithun Ekanath

with Gianluca Bartolini (Italy) and Jacopo Giovanardi (Italy)

Since the 60’s Volkswagen T1 has been people’s favorite microbus. More than 50 years later, we are proud to present to you the future of microbus: BULLE.

Reborn from the old Volkswagen T1, also known as Bulli, the design of BULLE reinterprets it in a moders but simple way, ensuring the typical Volkswagen design language. Adding flavours of camping, multiple seating configurations, smart materials technology to autonomous driving, BULLE defines the future of family transport.

BULL•E is a blended between the past and the future and it’s not just a car, although your own second home in motion.
