London, 21st January – The pioneering new automotive brand OMODA has announced the winner of its innovative artist collaboration.
OMODA tasked three UK-based designers to decorate their own white OMODA E5 in their signature style. UK customers were able to vote for their favourite design via OMODA’s Instagram channel. Olli Hull and his ethereal, floral design – inspired by old fairytale illustrations – has been crowned as the winner.
OMODA will welcome Olli to Germany on an all-expenses-paid trip to visit the OMODA Research & Design centre, where he will meet with designers and engineers to discuss the creative process behind designing vehicles.
OMODA has also offered one lucky voter a year’s lease on its all-new OMODA E5, plus an £1000 charging voucher. Emily, 30, was announced as the winner on OMODA’s Instagram today.
London-based artist and designer Olli Hull said: “As the OMODA E5 is an electric vehicle, I set out to create a design that foregrounds the natural world and the environment. I really enjoyed the opportunity to express myself via the new medium of a car, and I’m over the moon to have my hard work rewarded with winning the competition.”
Harrogate-based digital artist Jing Zhang said: “I’ve enjoyed every minute of this competition. My finished car is exactly what I hoped for when I set out to create an illustrative design celebrating an Eastern and Western culture blend. I’m so pleased that people connected with my design.”
Birmingham-based illustrator Dan Whitehouse, aka Super Freak, added: “I’m so proud of the work I produced for this competition. I had a blast every step of the way, decorating the OMODA E5 with my colourful, goofy characters.”
As a subsidiary of Chery International, China’s leading vehicle exporter, OMODA combines cutting-edge technology with an emphasis on innovative and unique design – using timeless design principles to create futuristic vehicles.
