true beauty is an absolute.Sasha SelipanovSasha Selipanov, Founder

Mission

The pursuit of beauty is our mission.

Beauty is not a matter of taste. It is a fundamental property of the universe, present wherever form follows function without compromise: in the skeleton of a predator, the arc of a suspension bridge, the twist of a turbine blade. It is not achieved by opinion or by committee. It is uncovered, through physics and clarity of thought.

Sasha Selipanov
The Founder

From the Huracán, the Chiron and the Gemera to the NILU.

Sasha was a lead designer on the Lamborghini Huracán, Head of Exterior Design at Bugatti for the Chiron, and Head of Design at Koenigsegg for the Gemera. During two decades in the industry, he scrapped the standard design process, which he found to be slow, inflexible and prone to losing quality at every handoff. His new approach let him deliver those programs faster and to a higher standard than the traditional OEM design process allows. The NILU, designed by Hardline27 for Nilu27, is the latest car to come out of his process. Hardline27 makes the same process available to select clients around the world.
