COLLECT, Blown and Front...

With COLLECT just around the corner I have finally created a 'support' solution that I think answers the question of " How do you make a heavy object appear weightless?" I'm sure I will still have my critics regarding this ongoing saga but the problems arises from never designing the piece with a base in mind from the outset.

I have also finished the new versions of Blown. This series was first created in 2005 as part of my RCA graduation project. The set will be on-show from the 6th May - 13th Sept in New York at the Museum of Art & Design as part of the Object Factory exhibition.

In regards to Blown, I was interested to see a new piece by the innovative Swedish design collective Front was showcased during the Milan Design Festival. Their piece titled 'Blow Away Vase' for Moooi uses 3d animation software to simulate a gust of wind. This is an interesting piece as I feel the attention to detail in the surface pattern makes the simulation feel real.
