	Colani: VISIONS IN DESIGN - © made by In Mind GmbH
		While the design world has spent decades endeavoring like the Renaissance to quantify design tasks in terms of rules and laws, Colani acts like the Mannerists who succeeded the Renaissance and breaks all the rules to paint an unpredictable and moving picture of how the future could be designed.
		"Colani’s place is secured as perhaps the most influential form visionary of the twentieth century in the field of industrial design.
		He has created dreams that push the limits of our perception of space and technological possibility to the edge of the Earth’s stratosphere, and as the world of industrial design sought safety and acceptance through restraint he just kept blowing minds with the fusion of art and organic design.

		Luigi Colani has something of Loewy about him, not least his lifelong preference for wearing white (woollies and clogs) and his moustache, although his is more Lech Walesa than Errol Flynn.
		In Colani, like all creative geniuses, an engaging personality flirts with psychosis; he has an absolutely clear world-view and practises it with total consistency, as blind as a mouse to matters of relevance, taste, technological feasibility, financial, market or real world limitations.
		Colani lives, surrounded by a boggling collection of prototypes of organically shaped cars and planes, in a much-photographed baroque schloss at Harkotten, in central Germany.

		He even argues that his best projects are those which represent "90 per cent nature and 10 per cent Colani as translator." Key references include insects and sea creatures, but there is also a startlingly explicit sexual undercurrent to much that he produces.
		Colani has been developing his vocabulary of biomorphic forms since the early 1950s, using a material that was then still in its infancy - fibreglass.
		The exhibition doesn't offer many clues as to which schemes are real and which fantasies, but Colani argues that this is because no such division exists: all are serious propositions; it is just that some will take longer to realise than others.

	Colani’s Concepts Make Concept Cars Look Tame - New York Times
		Colani, a sort of designer’s designer better known for his far-out, free-flowing concepts than for his modesty, is showing up everywhere.
		In 2002, when the Pinakothek museum in Munich opened its modern collection, a Colani model for an imagined Mach 5 supersonic airliner, inspired by the prehistoric megalodon shark, was hung from the ceiling and his dramatic concept for a biomorphic motorcycle was given a place of pride.
		Colani’s work, once called “super streamlining” and “bio-baroque,” is now fashionably “organic.” What he drew by hand 50 years ago is now being done by students on computers.

	Back to the Future - - PopPhotoAugust 2006
		Luigi Colani's early-1980s camera designs for Canon were years ahead of their time.
		Colani's freehand sketches were somewhat more fanciful, as shown by these stunning examples from Colani: The Art of Shaping the Future (Princeton Architectural Press, $75), an impressively fat survey that includes ideas for everything from watches to skyscrapers.
		But its legacy continues, and Colani's notion of a camera as an extension of the user's eye has been enabled and advanced by both automation and digital imaging -- technologies that free cameras from previous mechanical, electronic, optical, and physical limitations.
