Mission & Purpose

Few break free from the pressures of conformity to the accepted rules. To do so, convention must be challenged, and existence redefined. Once boundaries are rejected it is possible to believe that the world can be changed. This is the philosophy of the Chief Designer Afzal Kahn that led to the creation of Kahn Design in 1996. Each Kahn Design product is a timeless classic. Reflecting British style, individuality and quality, Kahn Design confronts the convenient aesthetics of the mass manufactured product. Boldness combined with elegance; contemporary technology combined with traditional craftsmanship. The Kahn creative team, including product designers, 3D modellers clay sculptors, graphic artists, and technical engineers, spend thousands of hours developing and refining Afzal Kahn’s concepts to the point of perfection. Every product is designed to make a statement, while perfectly integrating with a vehicle’s aesthetics. Kahn Design’s collection is brought to you from the artistic vision of one of world’s leading automotive fashion houses.
