GDM 145 Norihiko Harada (English Version)

You can’t miss his eyes, which shine with intelligence and radiate waves of
creativity and passion. The latter didn’t take long to blossom when the most
gifted Japanese designer of his generation, Norihiko Harada, was still a
schoolboy. His name has been associated with Zagato for decades and has
been behind some of its most iconic creations.
His mantra is simplicity of design without sacrificing refinement and good
taste. Among his many creations, some more beautiful than others, the Mostro
Barchetta occupies a place of choice. A piece of jewelry, produced in just five
examples, is reminiscent of the sublime 1957 Maserati 450S Coupé Zagato.
In this exclusive interview with Gentlemen Drivers magazine, Harada talks
about his beginnings in car design, the creations that have made him a
household name, and his plans for the future.
