Few vehicles have traveled as far in the cultural imagination as the Land Rover. Once a utilitarian workhorse, it has become a revered cultural object, a symbol continually repurposed, reinterpreted, and reimagined across generations and geographies. LAND explores this evolution through a design-led lens, tracing how the Land Rover has become a creative platform for builders, designers, collectors, and adventurers alike. Featuring projects that span bespoke restorations and conceptual reworks, the book captures a global movement reshaping the legacy of one of the world's most iconic machines. At its core, LAND is a study in how form follows function, how nostalgia drives innovation, and how design can turn a tool into an icon of creative intent.

Land, From Workhorse to Cultural Object: The Land Rover as Design Icon is een indrukwekkend koffietafelboek dat de bijzondere evolutie van de Land Rover laat zien: van robuust werkvoertuig tot wereldwijd designicoon en cultureel fenomeen. Met schitterende fotografie en inspirerende verhalen biedt dit boek een unieke blik op de blijvende aantrekkingskracht van een van de meest legendarische terreinwagens ooit gebouwd.
Waar de Land Rover ooit werd ontworpen als een praktisch voertuig voor landbouw, expedities en zwaar terrein, is hij inmiddels uitgegroeid tot een bron van inspiratie voor ontwerpers, verzamelaars, restaurateurs en avonturiers over de hele wereld. Dit boek onderzoekt hoe functionaliteit, vakmanschap en tijdloos design samenkomen in een voertuig dat generaties lang een iconische status heeft behouden.
Land presenteert een internationale selectie van unieke restauratieprojecten, exclusieve maatwerkmodellen en creatieve herinterpretaties van klassieke Land Rovers. Van zorgvuldig gerestaureerde klassiekers tot innovatieve restomods en bijzondere designprojecten: elk voertuig vertelt zijn eigen verhaal over ambacht, innovatie en liefde voor authentiek autodesign.
