brief research

Here are the designers I had to research from the brief I was given. Its all about visual language and the expression of the word 'collision', we've been suggested these to help us consider this concept...

Annie Turner-
 





I'm not really sre of a purpose for these pieces of work but I think as sculptural items that they do look very effective, I think they are made of stoneware which is fantastic as they look like they are made of card or recycled wood! Its all quite samey though...

Future systems-







Maserati building based on the maserati below! Its so inkeeping with the context of the building and actually looks like a car!!!



 Selfridges in London

I LOVE this stuff! It is so futuristic (its in the name i suppose!) and yet really contemporary at the same time, which is brilliant. Everything is really well designed and utterly cool.

Junko Mori-







All of these pieces are really great at communicating other materials. They are so unexpectedly silver (especially the first one) as they look really weightless and fluid... a bit like undersea creatures!

Nora Fok-











I really find Nora's work very intriguing as none of it looks real, by this I mean that it all looks like it has been animated and super imposed onto the model. I really enjoyed looking through her work as it is all made of nylon, not a paricularly conventional material used for jewellery making.

Ron Arad-







To start with, these chairs all appear to be outrageously uncomfortable, but they look gorgeous! I especially love this last copper one as it does just look like a sheet (a very thick one) of copper! very 60s orientated, the second on looking like a lava lamp! And also they actually have a use, contrary to a lot of things out there...

Will Alsop-







On many levels this is entirely wrong... it is sickeningly bright and I hate the fact that I somehow find myself liking it! The context is completely crazy, why put agiant thing on stilts half over another building? But I think thats why I like it! I do love the windows aswell... imagine fitting the curtains...
