Ross Lovegrove

Ross Lovegrove, born in 1958, is one of the most famous contemporary industrial designers. He graduated from the University of Manchester, and completed his Master of Design at the Royal College of Art. Early in his career, the Frog Design, in Germany, employed him. Where he worked on Walkman for Sony and computers for Apple. Ross cooperated with many designers and work for many popular companies like Louis Vuitton, DuPont, Airbus, etc. After that, in 1990, he finally created his own studio, “Studio X”, in London.

His concept of design is to connect the beauty of nature with new technology. Most of his works show flowing lines, dazzling colors and high quality materials. He advocated for “organic nature” in design.

Examples of Lovegrove’s work:

·       The Water Bottle shows the style of Ross’ design that is based on nature. The body of the bottle was designed like flowing water by using soft curves in the plastic.

·       He designed The DNA spiral staircase for Studio X. The graceful lines of the stairs are like a dancer’s movement and bring a nice visual effect.

·       The system X light is made of plastic and aluminum. The X-shape tube can consist of different geometric shapes and is enough to light the place or office.

·       The Solar Tree is designed for the Museum for Angewandte Kunst (MAK) in Vienna, and the first time that the Solar Tree Solar Tree was unveiled was on 8 October 2007, on the Ringstraße in front of MAK during Vienna Design Week. The Solar Tree is similar to the roots of a plant and is made of 20 steel tubes. It absorbs solar energy at day and lights the street at night. It’s a new way of using renewable energy.

·       The Istanbul series is one of Ross’ design masterpieces and it won the 2006 World Best Bathroom Award and Red Dot Design Award.

He has won a lot of awards. For instance:

·       RedDot 2010 Best of the Best

·       Hungarian Design Prize

·       Batimat Design Award 2009

·       Vogue Traveller Ecology Prize, SOLAR TREE, etc.

His works is also in many large museums and is internationally know. And now, he still works on his design, which inspires by nature, in Studio X in London.

Summary of project 3

           After seeing the works that other people did before start doing this project, I am so excited because this project looks interesting and beautiful, and it’s photography that I have never did it in the past! From this new experience, I learned that how to use photos to map the space and time of photos so that I can make it connect the world pretty. The final collage I choose to do is the sight out of the bus window. I take photos in the bus under most people’s eyes, and I always feel that they think I am a freak and that makes me feel very embarrassing. I think, in this situation, I can take photo slowly would be one of the challenge. After print those expensive photos, the most interesting parts in this project that is mapping the photos visually and logically will start. I am concentrated in thinking about the mapping part because in my mind, how you map the photos can give different information to other people. It tells people what you think about and how you see this world. So, I don’t want to just choose a place or a people to do this project. I want some thing special such as different angle of view so that I did the other side window upside down. In this project, people can see how things change by following the time flies and the bus going, and how people deal with the pace between those photos. And finally, make it looks like a whole part. Furthermore, it shoes how people see the beauty and how people see this world.
