The Design Concepts of Jean Bugatti<\/h2>\n

As a freethinking engineer and designer, his automobile creations were exceptional, daring to break norms and conventions. Today, his work continues to inspire the team at the home of Bugatti in Molsheim.\u00a0\u201cJean Bugatti was an artist of the highest order that so happened to craft his work in the automotive sphere,\u201d says Christophe Piochon, President of Bugatti Automobiles. \u201cAnd for that, we can all be thankful, because Jean\u2019s work was extraordinary; his conceptions at the time weren\u2019t just forward-looking, they were otherworldly.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a young man, he ambitiously added a new dimension to the Type 41 Royale his father presented to the world in 1926, designing the Type 41 Royale Roadster Esders, an elegant two-seater convertible. And the Esders marked the start of not only Jean\u2019s design journey but the beginning of the Jean Bugatti era of the business, guided by his beautiful designs and ingenious creations. By 1936 Ettore passed the baton onto his son, giving him full responsibility of the company at the tender age of 27.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
