Northline Tirol – From the First Sketch to 10 Years of Iconic Design

Some products are born out of necessity. Others begin with an idea that gradually grows into something exceptional. The Northline Tirol roof box is one of those products whose story began long before it was introduced to the market – with the first sketches, drawings and the search for a design that could combine practical functionality with a distinctive and unmistakable appearance.

From the first lines on paper to the final production model, the journey was filled with ideas, development and the pursuit of the perfect balance between design, aerodynamics and practical functionality. The result was a roof box that was never meant to simply blend into the crowd.

In 2016, the Northline Tirol had the opportunity to present itself to the world. Ten years have passed since then, and its distinctive design has found its place on the vehicles of customers across Europe.
This is the story of the Northline Tirol – from the first sketch to ten years of design that stands out.

From the First Sketch to the World Premiere
The vision from the very beginning was to create a design-driven roof box that would be more than just an ordinary storage solution on the roof of a car. The very first concepts focused on clean lines, an aerodynamic shape and unique design elements that would later become the distinctive signature of the Northline Tirol.

A Major Milestone – The 2016 World Premiere
A major milestone came in 2016, when the Northline Tirol was presented at the prestigious Automechanika trade fair in Frankfurt. The world premiere opened the door for the new roof box to customers and automotive enthusiasts looking for more than just a practical solution for additional luggage space.
It was the beginning of a new chapter for the Northline Tirol – a roof box designed to combine functionality with distinctive design and become a visible part of the vehicle's character.

Design That Didn't Go Unnoticed
The Northline Tirol was designed from the very beginning with a strong focus on detail. Its distinctive character comes from a combination of modern shape, bold lines and unique design elements that set it apart from conventional roof boxes.

This combination of design, functionality and distinctive character became one of the foundations of its success. The Tirol is not merely a practical addition to a vehicle – it is also a striking design element that enhances the vehicle's character.

10 Years of Northline Tirol
From the first sketch, through its premiere at Automechanika Frankfurt in 2016, to the present day – ten years have passed. Ten years of design, development and countless stories on the road.
The 10th anniversary of the Northline Tirol is therefore more than just a milestone for a single product. It is a celebration of the idea that a roof box can have its own character, distinctive design and become an iconic addition to a vehicle.
