NASHVILLE – INFINITI debuted its QX Inspiration Concept at the North American International Auto Show, showcasing the future of the brand's design language for an electrified era. Following the unveiling of the QX Inspiration, INFINITI is launching a dual partnership with the ArtCenter College of Design in California and the College for Creative Studies in Michigan. The collaboration, including design students from Detroit and Los Angeles, will take place from January to May 2019.
Led by Alfonso Albaisa, senior vice president of global design at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd, and Karim Habib, executive design director at INFINITI Motor Company, Ltd., the program will create an opportunity for the two to interact with the next generation of automotive designers as they work to create the aesthetics of a future SUV. Throughout the four-month program, the duo will provide the schools with invaluable insights on company culture and design.
"The collaboration with the ArtCenter College of Design and College for Creative Studies comes at the perfect time for INFINITI," said Albaisa. "I cannot be more honored to have the opportunity to work with future talent as they enter the beginning phases of their automotive design career. Our design teams are challenging themselves daily and this experience will allow for us to all gain a new perspective on design throughout the challenge."
