giraffe

The Giraffe is aptly named after one of our very early built work for a restaurant Client, made for his bar and an eatery back in the late 90’s. It is still vailable in chrome or black leather finish. The standard finish comes in natural hardwood with powder-coated white enamel top. The Giraffe was created with the intent of making the legs appear somewhat “human”, a form that is as organic as we can accept, bordering on becoming very “Jeff Koons” or post-modern.

“Exhibitions are a moment of hesitation for me, I’m looking internally at what I do so that I can grow again. then there are the products that I’m known for, like the water bottle for instance, that have sold very well, but these projects for me arereally more about the meaning of ‘why we produce them’. I’m always trying to do things with minimum resources but at the same time achieve the maximum civilising effects. Ultimately I’m looking for a ’system’ that can let me approach the work that I do with some degree of logic and intelligence.”

Made to represent the look and feel of the merchandise, the alcopod can emulate and depict particular graphics and colours of the product with great ease. Here the vodka and brand identity takes precedence and captivates the taste and delicacy of the brand through clever use of shape, and proportion and ultimate functionality of the pod as a mobile station point of sales for the retailer.

on design

"Design may indeed be complex, but I could not yet imagine it to be complicated...A work can be torturously complex, extravagant, excessively vulgar even…or it can be so simple and plain, almost to the point where it is devoid of any embellishment or decoration, I wouldn’t have an issue with either, but when it is neither that it is considered utterly mundane and ugly."

on architecture

Yet there is still a little problem I have to solve in my head, and that is that I think architecture is taking a bit too long to becoming like what good art is, generative and always assuming an emotive role. We have yet to make it possible for us to connect to our buildings as easily as we do with a work of art or a piece of music, or things we adore, like our children or our books.
