Presentation-2, Review of London design festival 2015
I chose Patricia Urquiola ‘s work which named ‘shimmer’ to give two conclusion :
1: For product design, maybe making people feel pleasure is a kind of function.
2:As a designer, we'd better try more materials even we don't like it, sometimes the matirial which we hate might brings new ideas for us.
Maiko's comment:
1:keep record the designer's name and where you saw it. The conran shop is very famous place for furniture designer.
2:To wark with any materials
The other comments that Maiko gave other students are useful to me as well:
Four students mentioned Ariane Prin 's work ‘rust’ which mix metal dust with plastetr and jesmonite.
and I like it as well,because the unpredictable process that using rust to make color is fresh to me, But Shannon said that she don't like this designer because Prin good at sale herself in social media more than good at design. Maiko's comment: nothing special, because I know the materials, I know jesmonite....if you think it's new for you, do mo research. and you are not just sale production,your design should follow your intention
other advices from Maiko:
What is the value of design?create something beautiful? fashion?
When something just veautiful, it lose some essential meaning.
Why you think it is interesting? 'interesting' means nothing, you need describe it more specific.
Sophie recommend a studio named new crafts man in oxford street.
Mumu recommend a place named design junction
Joyce said people always design first, then chose materials to use, but she want take material first, then to think 'how can I design it'.
