Hello everyone!
Silk here reporting from the comfort of my bedroom - typing away in the middle of the night.
What can i say - design INSPIRATION strikes at the oddest moments and times in my life.
Tonight, i had a brainstorm of the things i wanted to share with you.
since my interests cover a large range of topics - i will break them down for you into various columns.
be on the look out for all of them as i shall start to post with more frequency in the next couple of weeks.
Today - i am writing a review for a book that you all must EITHER own in your growing design libraries or borrow from someone else to read and absorb...
while i was engaged earlier with updating my iTunes library with a new CD from Paolo Nutini (love it... must have for anyone else's library... but i digress) i flipped through this book that i have been reading for quite sometime.
"DESIGNERS ON DESIGN" by Terence Conran and Max Fraser
This is a fascinating book to peruse. it is a compilation of interviews with many of the today's most influential designers (architecture/interiors/product/industrial/graphic./etc.).
the authors decided to create this book in order for you (the consumer) to read and understand the motivations, inspirations, and characters of the designers responsible today for contributing to the changes we all see in our three-dimensional environments.
Some of the designers include - hella jongerious :netherlands, eoos:austria, james dyson:great britain, stephen burks:usa, marre moerel:spain, frank nuovo:usa, marc newson: great britain/france, james irvine:italy, and naoto fukasawa: japan
to name a few.
Their interviews are candid and honest - and some even humorous.
they answer questions about their products, their inspirations, their feelings on trends, teamwork, alternate career choices and aspirations for design. there are also photos of their works.
It was interesting for me to learn about what inspires them.
it is not always peaches and cream being a creative individual and i think moire and chintz will agree with me that INSPIRATION can escape you until the last possible second before you are suddenly hit with it.
By reading and learning about how and where influential designers (of any age) find that drive and push to overcome those creative roadblocks was an eye opener.
Let me tell you now that WE (silk chintz and moire) aspire to also make a difference - we want to inform you about design: its possibilities and its fascinations in any form that it comes in.
So be inspired!
Happy reading... and thank you for coming along for the ride with us.
until next time...
cheers!
