The tailor files
The four winners were put together in a team and invited by Audi to customizes and co-produce a tailormade audi TT with specialists from the four brands; Audi, Bang & Olufsen, Georg Jensen and Munthe plus Simonsen.
An intense semester followed, with travels to Audi HQ in Ingolstadt, directions and advise from the best car designers in the industry, and travels to B&O in Struer to make custom aluminum parts for the car.
