Last weekend I visited my friend Alex in Long Beach, CA. Alex already has a degree in biology, but is currently pursuing her BA in product design. She has a real affinity for patterns, especially those inspired or derived from nature. This wall divider by Giorgio Biscaro reminds me of Alex. I like the pattern (who doesn't like honeycomb?), but also the customizability, the simplicity of each piece, and the fact that the whole thing is made out of textiles.
The blog has been a little slow lately because all the design work I am doing is...at work, and I can't exactly share that in real time. What I can share is the importance of immersion- and eventual synthesis- for designers.
I finished my third book of the quarter on Monday evening at the gym. It was 'Born on a Blue Day' by Daniel Tammet. Tammet is an highly-functioning autistic savant, and the book follows his journey basically from birth to where he is now. The book was good, but not great. It was interesting to read about Daniel's trials and tribulations and his day-to-day experiences. Some parts of the book were very hard to relate to, though, and others were too complex. Savants brains work differently than most, and that comes across in the book.
