Design vs Styling: Luciano Bove explains the difference

Luciano Bove, currently Renault R&D Senior Design Manager, has posted a video that explains the much debated difference between styling and design.


Our friend Luciano Bove is one of the very few car designers working for major carmakers who are active online and willing to share their experience, not only with sketching training courses, but also giving insights on the car designer career in real-world contexts.
