Visit to Design Museum

When I visited the Design Museum my first impression was that it was lacking in striking pieces of art. Although I still believed this was the case once I came out, I did manage to find a few sculptures which could become possible points of inspiration.



These lights were of interest to me due to the way in which they evolve from a solid structure to having gaps in between the sculpture. The transition is elegant which allows the lights to flow between these stages. 


This is a striking light due to the fact that there is a clear divide between the actual light source and excess design which allows the light to seem larger than it is.


The circular qualities and clear precision used to make both of the 'lamp shades' of these lights, allows them to be very minimalistic whilst having an aspect of complexity about them.


The way in which this chair was made was what interested me. A machine instantaneously set putty into the chair shape by threading each individual strand that can be seen. This allows the chair to flow, and gives precise linear qualities.


The contrast of one sofa with clear opposing planes, against the other other sofa which is made to meld between each of its sides, makes each sofa seem dramatically different despite both of their simplistic qualities.
