Ross Lovegrove shares organic designs

Summary of talk

Ross Lovegrove tries to explain how he works. Lovegrove is a artists who has become a designer. With strong inspirations from impressionists and nature he tries to design things to fit into our world that have a more natural look. To find the natural look he looks at skeletons, molecules, and tries to capture the feel of nature into design.

impression of the talk

The designs I saw by Ross Lovegrove look like a mix between H.R. Gieger, Henry Moore, and what you see through a really powerful microscope. Besides being a designer Lovegrove also has art pieces that have been displayed in art museums around the world. He kept talking about "fat free design" which appears to be like being a minimalist and trying to get rid of anything excessive in his designs. The reason I decided to pick Lovegrove was because I liked the look of most of his work as well as seeing how he was inspired by skeletons, skulls, water, and molecules.
