Bollinger Motors Design Studio is where the work starts. Original vehicle and mobility design developed in close collaboration with emerging designers — published publicly and consistently, keeping Bollinger Motors as a living creative practice rather than a legacy brand.
The studio is a place for new thinking in transportation design. No production targets, no commercial obligation — just genuine creative exploration at the intersection of mobility, form, and function. Projects are developed in collaboration with emerging designers, published as they happen, and held to one standard: is the answer worth showing?
The Bollinger Design Lab is a fully capable prototype and fabrication studio in Oak Park, Michigan — home to the original B1 and B2 prototypes. This is where physical work coming out of the Design Studio gets built. Hands on metal. Real tools. Real making.
The B1 and B2 are in the lab in Oak Park. So is everything built around them — the knowledge, the tooling, the relationships. The work that started in an old diesel repair shop in upstate New York continues there. But this is a fresh start. New projects, new collaborators, new questions. The lab is available to select student and professional designers whose work merits the resources. Not a makerspace. A serious shop for people ready to do serious work. Get in touch.
