Siggi's work is playful and sometimes comments on world issues; such as his beautiful christmas baubles which feature an atomic bomb explosion (somewhat unexpected). He is equally at home though with designing geometrically pleasing patterns commercially for the likes of Mulberry for example. I was really happy to see the diversity of his work as it's very inspiring for my Final major project. His use of colour exploration is similar to mine and I when I look at his designs I visualize paper collage, a technique that I am keen to use in my FMP (Final Major Project).

Really nice Chill. Very 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and Beatles-ish too. x
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit surreal isnt it?
Deletestrange - I always think of scandinavian design as pale and interesting, not colourful and bright.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point, I think I am thinking of IKEA and Marimekko Scandi design when I talk about bold and colourful.. But I am sure there are plenty of pale and interesting designs too would love to hear about some of your fav. Scandi craft/design.
DeleteIt totally brings back memories of the 70s and also of a tray my husband's Grandfather had (he was an artist - maybe there is a link?!) so it evokes happy feelings. I like the colour pallet and the contrast of the blue/green pic more than the other one to be honest - I think it is still contemporary and I would gladly have it in my interiors... not that I am a designer :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback, I agree I like Siggi's blue/green design more. This was used in a store design for Mulberry and featured as a carpet design among other things.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sarah, the fact that you are not a designer but a customer probably makes your viewpoint all the more valid! :)
