The sports cars and movies they create have captivated millions of fans across the world. Today, they join forces. Porsche and Star Wars. Two icons, united by a shared appreciation and philosophy towards design, coming together to create something truly special as the Skywalker saga comes to an anticipated end.
Doug is an Academy Award-winning artist, author, and production designer who was hand-selected by George Lucas to serve as head of the Lucasfilm art department in 1995. Now, with over 20 years of Star Wars design expertise, he oversees designs for all new Star Wars franchise developments, including films, theme parks, games, and new media.
Michael has been responsible for developing the exterior and interior design of all Porsche models since 2004. Together with his team, he pursues the goal of making the Porsche brand even more attractive. The Exterior Design department develops innovative vehicle concepts and future visions for the product strategy. The Interior Design division creates vehicle interiors as well as equipment and individualization concepts. The most recent example is the first all-electric Porsche Taycan, which, in addition to reinterpreting the Porsche brand and product identity, sets standards above all in interior design.
Master Designers Doug Chiang and Michael Mauer assemble their alliance of design experts. The seven gifted visionaries they’ve recruited will bring with them decades of experience and an unparalleled love for fast cars—and even faster spaceships.
After decades of inspiring one another from afar, the alliance is now official.
Inspiration can come from anywhere. Close to home. Or even a galaxy far, far away.
Two worlds separated by time and space, about to become one.
