Earlier this month Nissan unveiled its update of New York City’s most iconic moving public space: the Taxi, only a year after New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission selected the automaker, after an extremely competitive two-year bid selection process. The Nissan design, the NV200 Taxi, is the result of a research-driven and cross-disciplinary collaboration of The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Design Trust for Public Space, and Smart Design. At an exclusive debut of the prototype, key players in the process gave insight into how the new design pulled together almost all design disciplines—graphic, branding, product, and public space.
