Roots and Wings: Peter Schreyer: Designer, Artist, and Visionary

This title explores the life and work of Peter Schreyer, one of the most influential car designers of our time, known for his work with Volkswagen, Audi, Kia and Hyundai. Looking at the formative moments and pivotal artistic discoveries that shaped his creative mindset, this is the story of how a man helped two polarising cultures – the West and East – merge to create something unique and left a mark on history, and the future, in the process. A Renaissance man with an eye for detail and foresight for innovation, he geared himself toward success. Responsible for the births of some of the most iconic cars ever, his industry experience with Volkswagen, Audi, Kia, and Hyundai brought instant classics to the road. Schreyer embodies a conduit between the West and East – bridging his homeland’s history of automotive design with South Korea, a country that has experienced strato-spheric growth on the world stage in just a few decades.
