Objet p'art

Welcome to Objet p'art


Objet d'art is defined as a small object of artistic worth

Objet p'art is a tribute to car parts that due to the innovation of their design, the efficiency with which they operate or just their aesthetic beauty can affect certain (albeit odd) people in a way normally associated with artThe aim of Objet p'art is to honour the engineering expertise, the craftsmanship and the artistry of the people who design and make these parts


This will be achieved by featuring a new part everyday and arguing why it should qualify as an objet p'art by explaining its merits be they construction, use of material, operation etc

Any criticism, constructive or otherwise is welcome but keep in mind that this is a purely subjective endeavor and that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

Hopefully as the project progresses a well rounded archive of p'arts will start to take shape with everything from pioneering late 1800's steam power to state of the art hydrogen fuel cell technology, from Tokyo to Detroit to Modena and everywhere in between, from original equipment to aftermarket parts and one off customs, Road cars to Le mans prototypes and rally raid specials, shouldn't run out of material any time soon...
