Rose Stewart’s inspiration

Visuelle
Add to Folder | Comments (0) | August 16, 2007

Maintained by This Studio, Visuelle is a ongoing collection of examples of design from around the world. The archive is great online source of inspiration. It further invites you to expand your visual experience to the online portfolios of the companies and individuals who have produced the showcased works, through links to external sites. A great educational resource.

Practical Surroundings

Recent research led me to the work of Duncan Wilson through a stunning example of design called Pixelnotes; a wallpaper which is four layers of 'post-it' notes of varying grey tones, on a primary colour backing. The beauty of this project is both how it responds to the way we interact with wall space, and how it becomes richer over time, as the layers are peeled away.

Cutout [pictured] follows the same principle, addressing the way we interact with space. What is truly beautiful about both ideas is capturing the contrast of simplicity and functionality, while creating something so dynamic and so human - I have notes, photographs and other sentimental effects pinned on my wall as I write this. I would encourage you to visit his website, where photographs of both projects show how each wallpaper grows in time.

Perhaps what these designs begin to achieve is an awareness of the world we live in and how we use its space, of the make-up of our surroundings and how we could begin to use these surroundings more efficiently.
