CarBone (previously known as Car-Bone Liveries) is a Polish company that specializes in producing high-end accessories and upholstery solutions for classic Porsche cars.[1][2]
History
[edit]Established in 2014 in Łódź, Poland by Paweł Kalinowski[3] and Przemysław Borowczyński.[4] Started as a small business producing replicas of technical stickers needed for car restoration. Starting from stickers, through full liveries and basic modifications, to the first specialty — a car roof rack that was used in the RUF Rodeo Concept car.[5][6] The company worked in collaboration with American artist Daniel Arsham[7] and The Kyza on which it was displayed at the SxSW 2023. With time the company grew and now, apart from making accessories and upholstery kits, it restores and modifies whole cars from bare chassis mechanically and visually.
In 2019, an entire design studio was established, where 3D models were created and put in a virtual visualization of the cars. With the use of 3D modeling parts like Redrum floor kit, Cyberguards, HolyDuck active spoiler were created.
In 2022 and 2023, CarBone became a sponsor of the NPA Dakar Classic Rally team. Two cars, featuring a number of CarBone components, finished the rally each year (in 2022, in the 3rd place in the H2 category and 9th overall; in 2023, in the first place in the two wheel drive category, 8th place overall and 2nd place in the H2 class).
Tardza,[8][9][10][11] Queen, Redrum, Criollo[6][12][13] are the names of CarBone project cars that were shown at events such as Techno Classica Essen 2022 and 2023, Rennsport 7,[14] Wunderground Museum, Ultrace 2022 and 2023.
