Bentley design director Stefan Sielaff interviewed
I attended the FT Future of the Car Summit in London, having arranged to meet one of the speakers over lunch. Stefan Sielaff is a tall, imposing gentleman with an impish twinkle in his eye and a tendency to come up with wonderfully evocative phrases. In short, the perfect interview candidate.
I wrote up our conversation – about luxury design, autonomous cars and the potential for premium car-sharing services – for Car Design News.
