Our emotions for everyday necessary objects like furniture or clothes are far from showing awe. Though everyone knows these lifeless pieces to be vital and consider them almost impossibly to live without, they remain out of our consciousness, something that we deal with without truly thinking about or respecting.
Take a look into the works of Neri Oxman and all that would change for you in an instant. This designer from MIT, currently teaching ad pursuing her PhD there, may have been a medical scholar who gave up the med world for that of designing but she does not believe in completely giving up on things she learnt. Neri’s designs are inspired by everything in life; her design of a chair that changed shape with the user has been likened to a lover. Neri has shown the desire to make clothes that grow with the wearer and the designing of building without the angular lines seen today.
What makes Neri’s designs so amorous is not just her inspirations for these designs but the fact that her beauty and her deeply pleasant personality, zest for life and love for anything artistic, becomes obvious in the object. In essence, it is not the concept behind the design but Neri’s special touch that appears to give each the awe-factor that sets it apart. Currently, her works aren’t available commercially but can be viewed at the MoMa museum and the Boston Museum of Science, or check out MaterialEcology, founded by Neri.
