Pininfarina and luxury brand INKAR has announced an upcoming collaboration for exclusive limited edition phone cases for the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro.

Sharing a mutual visionary approach to art, design, and technology, the collaboration is the fruit of Pininfarina’s passion for innovation as well as INKAR’s ambition to unite fine materials and exceptional talents with the latest technologies.

Inspired by Pininfarina’s award-winning concept car, Ferrari Modulo, the iPhone cases are presented in a sleek yet timeless design that perfectly encapsulates Pininfarina’s artistic values. Pininfarina’s lead designer, Paolo Lugaro explains that “the most difficult part of this project was to embody all the Pininfarina values – purity, elegance, innovation and sophistication – as well as our “one to one” atelier legacy – through several customization options – in such a small product. There was absolutely no space for mistake and we, together, did an excellent job.”

Coming in a limited batch of 99 pieces per model, each piece is fully customizable and comes with an engraved serial number. Offering five colorways, two kinds of leather for the lens, along with ten types of plates ranging from leather, natural wood, carbon fiber to aluminum for customers to choose and customize their cases with. Constructed from carefully-selected and high-quality materials, the cases also utilize dead-stock leathers from Pininfarina’s automobiles as a sustainable measure. Among the limited batch, five of which are exclusive redline silver cases with hand-drawn details by Italian artisans.

The collection will be available online at INKAR’s official website starting December 1. For each case sold, an NFT will be issued as a certification, which will also serve as an exclusive membership for upcoming INKAR releases and collaborations.
