As an interior designer, I have always felt that the accessories and the details of the room define the personality of the space. As an architect, I have always seen accessories as miniature buildings. My graphic style is seen throughout all of my work.
And the Kanga series is no exception. This is truly a graphic design motif translated to three dimensions.
I have always admired people who could function in a minimalist space. I am organized, but I just have too much stuff. One day, years ago, I thought about the table scape on a dining room or kitchen table. There are two things that I have always needed on my table – candles and salt/pepper shakers. But it stands to reason, the less you put on your table surface, the less cluttered it appears, the more minimalist and cool. So I decided to combine the notion of a sculptural candleholder with salt & pepper shakers.
I call it Kanga because it reminds me of an abstracted kangaroo. The prototype is constructed very simply but I picture the final product in polished stainless or a powdercoat finish in various colors.
Just another product design in the early stages of development. Please stay tuned for future developments on this one!
I’ve seen you design most of this stuff and i’m still often at a loss for words.
Great idea, execution, design and style – can’t wait for this one to get manufactured!
