Everyone keen on masterful car customization should keep an eye on Vilner Studio, a Bulgarian-based luxury tuning company, which is building a 1,500-square-meter Vilner Car Art Culture Museum in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing.
The museum will be located at the Jinshan Cultural and Creative Industrial Park and open to the public starting this December.
Chongqing is the company’s second foothold in China after it opened its first official studio outside of its home country – Art Studio Vilner – in Beijing last September.
The studio has an abundance of creatively designed cars to display in the museum, along with various car accessories and technologies. Its bold creations include metal accessories carved with miniature knights, auto trim with encapsulated butterflies, and hand-sewing steering wheels.

Cao Yi, a graduate of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts, introduced the Bulgarian company to China’s market.
“Chongqing is my hometown, and I hope to expand the company’s car repacking style with local influences such as Rongchang Ramie. Our work is characterized by a high attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials,” Cao said.
He also noted that Vilner will be the first advanced customization company in Chongqing, and the company is aiming for similar events in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou in the future.
Established in 1996, Vilner Studio is a place where rides from all over the world receive complete makeovers. It is widely renowned for its unique style and excellent production quality.
