Some projects demand more than conventional engineering solutions. The Gibbs Humdinga was one of them. Tasked with transforming an ambitious amphibious vehicle prototype into a repeatable manufacturing programme, Kamm overcame significant challenges in materials, tooling and structural complexity. The result demonstrated the value of approaching seemingly impossible manufacturing problems with ingenuity and determination.

“The CALLUM Lounge Chair is fresh, elegant and has an efficient 'lightness', both physically and visually, thanks to an exposed carbon fibre 'spine'. We have paired this with a sophisticated wood finish and bespoke luxury leather trim for an end result that is chic and refined.” — Ian Callum, Design Director at CALLUM

The Gibbs Aquada challenged the conventions of automotive and marine engineering, combining the demands of both in a single amphibious vehicle. We developed the composite manufacturing processes and tooling required to turn this ambitious concept into a repeatable production programme.
