Hi! Welcome to my blog! My blog as of now is college related, so if you read my posts and ever wonder why there’s a lot of random ones, that should explain it! So a little about me, I’m a freshman at NAFA (Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts), love art, dogs and music! I have a really small youtube channel right now as well - Samara Rage, where I do covers of songs. The link should be there on my blog if you’re interested. In my blog you will be hearing all about my college life, (I’ve taken the ‘Object and Jewellery’ course in 3D design)!
As a design student, I’ve had to do a bit of research on a particular designer who “breaks the rules” in his designs. A designer who questions the standard design of products and changes them. For example, a chair's standard design has four legs for structure, a back rest and a piece to sit on. That's a chair's basic "rule". These designers will think on the lines of, "Why does the chair need four legs? Why can't it have say one leg which does the same job as four"? Such a designer is Peter Bristol. Peter is an Industrial Designer. He helps lead the industrial design at Carbon Design Group, and has his own company as well. He focuses mainly on furniture and lighting. Here are a few of his designs where he has "broken rules":
Clothes Drawers:
The standard design has rectangular or square drawers, Peter has broken the rules by changing the design of them.
Cut Chair:
Standard chairs have four legs connected to the chair, however, this chair has three cut legs and only one that seems to be properly connected to the chair.
Box Light:
Corner Lamp:
Normally, lamps or lights are on the walls or on the ceilings. Peter has created one which fits into the corner of a room without any stand.
Modified Keyboard:
