La Ronde

The Audi TT arrived in 1998 as an object of pure design. An arc of a silhouette, taut surfaces, an openly Bauhaus influence: a coupe that looked like a styling study which had reached production without being watered down.

It became an icon of late-1990s car design and proved that a compact could be a piece of art. Every piece is embroidered in France, in a dense, hard-wearing stitch.
