Known, among other things, for his innovative concepts (e.g. Real Time 2009), designer Maarten Baas opted for a very specific theme for his personalised Getaway. Baas is in the grip of football fever, so his MINI Countryman is packed to the rafters with footballs in different sizes and colours from Nike and Lotto.
The designers’ current “Camping” collection is the perfect match for the MINI Countryman, so the successful Canadian duo had a relatively straightforward task. As well as packing in a range of outdoor kit from the collection, such as a rucksack, travel bag, camouflage peaked cap with buttons, and wellies, they slid a canoe onto the roof of the MINI Countryman. An umbrella, lantern, fishing rod, picnic basket and guitar round off the equipment list for the custom-made Dsquared² Getaway. During the Salone del Mobile the display window of the flagship Dsquared² store in Milan will be given over to the “MINI Countryman – Urban meets Country” theme.
