Karl is king of cars!

Karl Eirik Haug the mand behind the geniuos magazine Carl`s cars is in New York togheter with Stéphanie Dumont (art director) where Society of Publication Designs anual award for best magazine design takes place. I stil remember geting my hands on the first issue. It was like a new religion was born and from the shelf at the local gass station it looked at me with those nice glossy pages.

Carl's Cars is a magazine about people. Carl's Cars is also the first magazine which blends car culture with music, fashion, film and design. Carl's Cars is about people's creativity: All the strange things people say, all the random stuff they do, and the cars they drive. Every one of them is a friend of the magazine.

Karl Eirik Haug and Stéphanie Dumont are working for Carl at Carl's Cars. The idea came from a napkin. The name Carl's Cars was written together with other suggestions for a possible magazine about car culture. The people who sat around the table voted for Carl's Cars.

Now the napkin is gone and the magazine is a reality.
Do you park your car in front of your fireplace? Or on the pink wall-to-wall carpeting in your bedroom? Then Carl would like to speak with you. Maybe you'll be in the magazine.
