“You’re remembered for the rules you break”; this is at the heart of Daryl Villanueva’s radically designed, mind-bending cars and motorcycles. His irreverence towards bureaucracy and design trends free him and his team to leapfrog into the future. “Our cars and motorcycles symbolize possibilities and I think that’s why so many collectors, museums and individuals gravitate towards our work,” Daryl says. From the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles to the the Gallery of Modern Art in Australia, Daryl’s work is exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries in all continents of the globe. Interest in Daryl’s vehicles extend outside the automotive industry. LVMH’s Le Bon Marche in Paris and Lane Crawford in Hong Kong both sought to collaborate with Daryl to create exclusive pieces for their luxury houses. Apart from Bandit9, Daryl serves as the director of VAN DARYL, his new coachbuilding firm, and Deschain & Co., a premium lutherie guitar company recently founded by Daryl. But Daryl dedicates most of time to his family. He credits his wife and his son for driving him beyond what he ever thought possible.
