Polestar portraits with American basketball player Kevin Love

Design meets purpose. Iconic athlete and style-conscious advocate Kevin Love invites us into his world and distinctive approach to life – where performance, well-being, and creativity are in perfect balance.

Being a professional athlete demands intensity, commitment, and resilience. For many, the path is singular: a relentless focus on winning.  But Kevin Love shows us there’s another way. 

By elevating every part of his life–from the art on his walls to the design of his daily routines – Kevin has created an environment where peak performance flows naturally.  His mindset goes beyond the gym. It’s a full-circle approach to life.

Of course, every successful athlete is backed up by an incredibly rigorous training regime and a desire to win. However, it’s Kevin’s approach to life beyond the court that fascinated us at Polestar.

“You have to elevate yourself in terms of sleeping, eating and taking care of yourself emotionally and spiritually as well as physically, so that when you get out there on the court where your peak performance is needed the most. It’s going to be there,” he explains.

At Polestar, we’re drawn to those who take a considered path.  Who bring intention to every detail.  Kevin Love is one of those people

A life designed 

Kevin’s connection to design runs deep. He has curated a collection of art with Sotheby's. He’s deeply invested in visual culture and personal expression. To him, design isn’t just aesthetic–it’s a mindset.

That holistic approach is what resonates with us.  It’s what makes Kevin more than an athlete. He’s a portrait of purposeful living. An aesthete who enjoys and understands design and creativity.

But this 360 approach goes beyond creativity.

The Polestar 3. I feel like, the design is ‘intentional’. It relates to me and my life.

“The Polestar 3. I feel like, the design is ‘intentional’. It relates to me and my life. It is about focused performance. About innovation and being driven and forward-thinking.”

For Kevin, this means the Polestar 3 is more than transportation.  It’s a sanctuary, which complements his approach to life. It creates a mindful space, where design is at the forefront, so he can concentrate on his moment-to-moment goals.

 “What I feel when I sit down in the car and take off on my way to the arena. That time in the car is a form of meditation, whether I am on the open road or moving around Miami. It gives me a sense of calm.”

Driven by intention 

The Polestar 3 complements Kevin’s outlook: refined, powerful and built for those who value every detail.  A car designed not just to perform, but to enhance the space between life’s biggest moments.

The car that Kevin finds his form of calm and meditation is, ofcourse, the sports car-like SUV, Polestar 3.

The electric SUV is the perfect balance of performance and intentional design to connect both of Kevin's passions, so he doesn’t have to choose. Now, if you’re reading this and your interests are as diverse as those of an American basketball star, check out all that Polestar 3 can do here.
