Fascinating thoughts result in fascinating objects … ”

 

 

Pointless styling ?

Most modern products are designed according to the ”pointless styling” strategy. It means that they are created without true intelligent ideas behind. They look pretty and interesting, but because there is no real intelligent message, they look boring and out of fashion after we get used to the fancy forms.

These products are like people who speak beautifully, saying nothing.

Or timelessly meaningful?

I believe that design is the communication of intelligent thoughts, and timeless thoughts will make products timelessly actual.

The world around us, people, nature, arts and science are providing every day lots of fascinating things to think about. Everything that makes us wonder can be a reason to create something beautiful and new.

Visual Poetry …

[ Detail of the Starflower lamp ]

Poetry means telling fascinating thoughts in a fascinating way. Design is just the same, but the words are replaced with forms and the sentences are replaced with the composition of the object. As most poems have multiple meanings and they can be interpreted many ways, the most interesting design objects are also more than what you see at the first sight.

The goal …

[ The Genesis lamp is the symbol of life ]

My goal is not to make products only to surprise people. My products need to have values, wherefore people can enjoy using them every day for a long-long time. Good design is 100% functional, but is also like an abstract poetic sculpture. If  the product had no function at all, it still should look fascinating and interesting because of the meaningful concept, the form and the composition itself.
