The Real Model: When Art Meets the Automobile
The Citroën 2CV Cubist is the result of an innovative artistic approach that reinterpreted the iconic vehicle according to the principles of the Cubist movement. This conceptual creation transforms the familiar lines of the 2CV into bold geometric shapes, creating a fascinating dialogue between automotive tradition and artistic avant-garde.
This revolutionary project preserves the very essence of the original 2CV—its simplicity, functionality, and popular character—while infusing it with a radically modern visual language. The flat surfaces, sharp angles, and deconstructed volumes create a striking aesthetic that challenges our usual perceptions of the automobile.
This conceptual approach demonstrates the 2CV's timeless ability to inspire creators, proving that its original design has remarkable flexibility to accept the most daring reinterpretations.
Citroën: innovation as DNA
Since its creation in 1919 by André Citroën, the chevron brand has always distinguished itself by its pioneering spirit and its desire to innovate. From the very beginning, Citroën revolutionized the French automotive industry by introducing mass production methods and offering vehicles accessible to the greatest number of people.
The Citroën 2CV adventure began in 1948 with a revolutionary specification: to create a car capable of transporting "two peasants in clogs and a sack of potatoes across the fields." This pragmatic and popular philosophy forged Citroën's identity and influenced all its future creations.
The brand continues this tradition of audacity today with conceptual projects like this cubist version, demonstrating that innovation remains at the heart of its strategy. This ability to reinvent its classics while respecting their original essence makes Citroën a unique manufacturer in the global automotive landscape.
The anecdote: when Picasso met the Deuche
The story of this Cubist 2CV is rooted in an unlikely encounter between the Parisian artistic world and the automotive industry. This conceptual creation draws direct inspiration from the Cubist movement initiated by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque at the beginning of the 20th century, a movement that revolutionized artistic representation by breaking down shapes into geometric facets.
The idea for this reinterpretation stems from the fascination the 2CV has held for artists since its creation. A true French cultural icon , the Deuche has inspired painters, sculptors and designers who see it as the perfect symbol of the democratization of the automobile. Its simple and recognizable silhouette lends itself admirably to the most varied stylistic exercises.
This Cubist version takes this logic to the extreme by transforming every curve of the original bodywork into clean geometric planes. The round headlights become perfect circles, the fenders transform into trapezoids, and the iconic hood metamorphoses into angular surfaces. This respectful deconstruction paradoxically reveals the intrinsic beauty of Flaminio Bertoni's original design.
More than just a stylistic exercise, this creation questions our relationship with the automobile and its aesthetic perception. It demonstrates that even the most familiar cars can be reinvented and surprise with their ability to accept the most unexpected visual codes, thus creating a fascinating bridge between art and industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
