Artistic roof decors as a limited edition from MINI USA

Munich. An exclusive and time-limited offer enables MINI fans in the USA to individualize the exterior design of their vehicles in a new way and to set artistic accents in the process. As part of a partnership between MINI USA and three artists, each with an individual cultural background, unique roof decors were created, which will soon be available as a limited edition. Their design is based on large-format works by the three artists, which can also be seen at the same time as murals in the New York districts of Brooklyn and SoHo as well as in Portland in the US state of Oregon.

The contrasting colors that can be selected ex works and the decors for the roof, which are available as retrofit options, have been an unmistakable and globally known trademark for the individual character of the MINI for decades. "For MINI fans, the individual design of their vehicle is an expression of their personality, and the rooftops represent its purest form," says Mike Peyton, Vice President MINI of the Americas. Now they become true works of art. The partnership that makes this possible is part of the MINI brand campaign BIG LOVE: These two little words have the power to inspire positive action.

The motto is: “We're all different, but pretty good together.” As part of this project, MINI USA will donate to the non-partisan non-profit organization American Immigration Council to support its mission. The artists selected for the partnership with MINI USA created works that reflect their respective individual cultural backgrounds as well as the experiences they gained while growing up in the United States of America.
