3D Design - Designers.

I visited the Bauhaus a few years ago on a trip organised through my school. This got me really interested in the work produced and shown at the Bauhaus.I think it is really interesting the style and thoughts that are shown clearly through the work produced and shown there and, personally, it reminded me a bit of Ikea with the "out of the box thinking" aspect to the work.

The Bauhaus - Marianne Brandt - Brandt produced a Tea Pot at the Bauhaus in 1924, which caught my attention. The Tea pot has a very modern look about it, especially considering it was produced in the 20s.I like how the teapot doesn't look like what it is, with the straight top and style of it, the teapot looks almost like it wouldnt be able to be used for its purpose. "The Marianne Brandt tea pot is the part of the set, which most strictly follows the formal principles of the Bauhaus school. Circle, globe and square are the basic forms of the construction." (http://www.tecnolumen.com/42/Marianne_Brandt_Tea_pot.htm)



The Bauhaus - Wilhelm Wagenfeld - Wgenfeld is known for producing his hand-made lamp which is often referred to as "The Bauhaus Lamp". Personally, i dont really like the lamp. I think, although simplicity is often good, that the lamp hasnt got a sort of edge that most products from the Bauhaus seem to have.



Ross Lovegrove - Lovegrove produced the 'Bone Chair' in 1994. I like the look of this as i think it is really interesting and very much out of the norm, with the colour and the shape of the structure both being 'bone-like', it suites its name well. However, the chair does look like it would be very uncomfortable to sit on and so probably doesnt appeal to a wide audience.



Tom Dixon - These lamps produced by Dixon were launched earlier this year, 2012. I really like these as i think the colours and the shapes are really interesting. I really like the variation of shapes avaliable and how even the lamps which have the same shape, have different marks and colours.Right is the imformation about the different colour variations possible from the process. This is taken from Dixons website.

I found Klenell's blog when researching recent designers. I really love this chair, although I'm not keen on the colour. I think the shape and the idea of the chair is really interesting and it works really well, and i think it looks quite comfortable too, which is obviously and important factor.
