Having laser cut circular shapes onto acrylic and wood, I
began to experiment with placing them on different surfaces to create different
textures and patterns. However, it soon became apparent that I was more
interested in what was on the surface rather than the surface itself. I took
the laser cut components off the surface and this soon was far more
interesting as a stronger sense of movement and texture was created. It has allowed me to be more experimental and work in a more 3
dimensional way by layering the pieces as I am not restricted by the rigidity
of the surface.
I went to Claire Ann O'Briens talk and it was a very interesting and worthwhile talk. She discussed how she runs her business and sells her product ( knitted furniture) and listed several useful sources, such as Designers Block who put on design shows. She also emphasised the imprtance of good quality and striking images, in particular for the use on blogs and in the press.
Giles Miller Studio specialise
in creating innovative surfaces for
interiors, hospitality and retail design projects. Through using simple shapes and repetition an
interesting and sculptural relief is
created, often using wood, ceramic and metals. Their work has been commissioned
by the V&A, Selfridges and the Design museum as well as showcasing the work
at interiors shows such as Clerkenwell Design Week and the Surface Design Show.
This has inspired me to continue using simple shapes in repeat as an
interesting surface as I would love to have the oppurtunity to create work for similar clients.
