With sustainability at the forefront, environmentally-friendly materials, such as recycled perspex, rubber and cork are used for the essential parts of the MINI STRIP’S design, replacing the traditional leather and chrome for a bare and simple yet premium aesthetic. The raw materials are deliberately exposed and screws are visible to show how elements of the car, such as the aluminium steering wheel, can be dismantled and reused.
