3D Designers

Ross Lovegrove:

I really like that his work has a strong influence from natural forms; his work feels very organic and yet at the same time quite minimal. I feel that there is something very calming about his work. Everything seems to flow and work together. I think his use of clean, smooth line is nice and it makes his work feel very fresh and modern while still in keeping with a natural theme.


Fred Baier:

Fred Baier often works with colourful, geometric shapes which I'm not too fond of although I realise he does makes some really good quality stuff. But while looking through his website I did find some of his work that I did like:

"Public Seating
Meandering, babbling brook
dry water feature"
I really like this because I think it's really simple but very elegant and effective. I love the way it curves, just like a stream. I like the wooden shapes in the middle; it makes the piece feel very natural and unobtrusive and the black supports look like rocks in a stream so it all works nicely together.  It feels a lot more organic than some of this other work and that kind appeals to me much more. 

Ettore Sottssas:

His work feels fun and funky although he uses quite a lot of geometric shapes too. However, I like his work more than Fred Baier because he uses brighter, more youthful colours, which makes it feel exciting and fresh.








Bauhaus: 

Bauhaus was an art school in Germany which was very influential on the way art was perceived. Before the arts were separated into fine art, graphic design, illustration, architecture et cetera and Bauhaus brought all the art and design practises together and showed people that they linked very closely with each other.

If I'm honest, I don't like most of the designers that came from Bauhaus because there work is very modern, clean and stripped back. I find this very lifeless; I feel like the environment they create is very aseptic and it just doesn't appeal to me.
However, I can appreciate that there are very well functioning designs that are useful to very day life and therefore are good designs.
