Our next sleigh of the day comes from Automobile designer Jean-Arthur Madelaine-Advenier - concept car designer. We asked a group of our favourite designers and artists to come up with a new concept for Santa's sleigh. They had just ten minutes to design his future mode of transportation.

We bring you the second instalment in our futuristic sleigh series. Being as über-modern as we here at Club of Pioneers, we have decided that Santa's traditional sleigh - with all that un-environmental dead wood and the cruel treatment of his reindeers - is just not our vision of future mobility. We wanted something new!So we asked a selection of creative types, from car designers, to graphic artists, fashion designers and tattooists to come up with a newer model!
