got up real early today because had to start an early walk over, trying my luck at killing some time. I decided to flip through a Vogue living Mag & came accross Droog Design. As, i was busy flipping, a hot pink contraption which was called 'Hot Seat caught my eye. It was an idea for developing Street Furniture for Roppongi Hills, a large private development in Tokyo. The artist came with the concept and design through observing how people would sit out on the streets.
* I love street furniture and public art, I suppose it came about when i went to Universal Studio's and spent the day on the American Tale/ Dream Cartoon playground where everything was large! I suppose its the thrill of pretending to be an ant sized person running through the tall blades of grass or hanging out on a coke tin. Or actually it could be the thrill of having to share something strange & quirky with the crowd, the feel of something out of the extraordinary.
Here's another project called "Play House". Located in Spazio Console,Milan, Italy. 1999
by Traast & Gruson. I love basics and this comes down to it, the outline of the house. Things that are actually important which are our thresholds. The compound, the door, the walls , the stairs and the space within.
* Interesting note: the vogue i came across was a 2003 edition, obviously i wasnt in tune with design then. :) and
