    Louis Comfort Tiffany: Creator of Art in Design

    Louis Comfort Tiffany’s eclectic sense of design incorporated the styles of the Arts and Crafts, Aesthetic, and Art Nouveau movements (Johnson 8). He had an eye for ornamentation in which he transformed every piece in a room into a humanly functional work of art (Johnson 27). Light and color were strong for forces in the design of his spaces to create a sense of exoticism and romance (Johnson 33). Though his designs were lavish, he strived to make his spaces livable and enjoyable by the user, not just museum-like rooms that marveled wealth or status (Johnson 28). He grew inspiration from the artistic values of other cultures giving him a fascinating image of design where he sought to create harmony by integrating these principles with aspects of nature in order to make striking yet livable interiors.…

    The Design Philosophy of Ruby Ross Wood

    This paper expounds on the life and design style of Ruby Ross Wood. Her abstract life was during the cookie cutter times of the 1900’s. During these times the everyday woman went from being a homemaker to earning wages and being a prominent member of society. It was an excellent time in history when the women of the world stood on the threshold of greatness. The world desperately needed an eccentric, intelligent, and strong female designer in the public eye who would forever change the way we look at design and what is beautiful. Being a descendent of several families prominent in America since Colonial times, Ruby Ross was destined to greatness. Her youthful charisma and sharp tongue won the hearts of many people in the public. During her years as an interior designer, Woods accomplished extraordinary things. Though many say her death cut her life and success as a designer short, she left behind many works that generations to come will still be enjoying.…

    Why Is Tom Price So Important To Pp Trees?

    (Indaba, 2011) The trees are large and fill the entire space creating a fairy-tale like world in a dilapidated small room. The plastic creation does not give a realistic interpretation of what a cherry blossom grove may look like but rather evoke the feeling of being there amidst the beauty. The piece reminds me of a stage set, you can almost imagine some of the fairies from A Midsummers Night Dream frolicking around amongst the plastic tubing. The ambience of what could be perceived as a decaying room with crumbling walls and cracked concrete flooring room changes with the billowing and bending trunks and canopying blossoms that leave beautiful dappled shadows on the…

    Jonathan Zawada Biography

    Zawada’s is a practice that skips fluidly between object design, sculpture, video, installation, painting, 3d simulations and fashion. Finding its roots in his earlier experience in web design, coding and animation, Zawada’s mind seems to want to constantly bend and play with the sin and symbols of our real and virtual landscapes. This fascination he has with the juxtapositioning of the virtual and the lived experience plays out with ever-extraordinary attention to simplicity and perception.…
