Kindred spirits: Bcomp

Being an innovator means plenty of challenges. But it also means plenty of “eureka” moments.

When Swiss natural fibre firm Bcomp came up with the idea of using fully sustainable flax to create high-performance composite materials, it was one of these moments (or whatever the local equivalent of “eureka” is in Switzerland). 

When we came up with the idea of using these composites in the Polestar Precept, it was another one of these moments. Learn all about Bcomp above.

Polestar’s ambitions are fundamentally linked to nature. We’ve dedicated ourselves to bringing about a change: a shift towards more sustainable electric mobility for the sake of our shared society. Preserving nature to improve the world. And if that sounds lofty and ambitious, it’s because it is.

Sometimes, speeding things up requires slowing down. As we’ve said before, the change to greater sustainability needs to happen more quickly. This can be achieved, paradoxically, by taking a slower approach. Designing timeless products to have a longer life cycle will reduce consumption and prolong a product’s usability, whether in automotive or in fashion. Something Alexander Stutterheim understands better than most.

Predicting the near future: Polestar and Balenciaga

The near future has been a muse for countless designers. It provides a framework in which creativity can thrive alongside an inbuilt sense of realism. The Polestar Design Contest and Polestar Precept were some of our near-future explorations. “Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow” is one of Balenciaga’s. And they’ve asked Polestar to be a part of it.
