5. PHILOSOPHY
Ross Lovegrove is a designer who turns the regular three dimensional world
around us into a new level. His designs are inspired from the logic and beauty
of nature. His creations are a harmony of three things, technology, material
science and organic forms. In all of his works, from vehicles to architectural
designs, there is always a touch of nature and humanly resourceful approach.
According to him, organic design is not copying nature or being just inspired,
it is rather the application of natural processes which existed ages before
human started designing. Lovegrove pushed the boundary of modern and
contemporary designs by incorporating ancient and organic touches, resulting
in his most iconic designs.
He emphasis more on the knowledge of evolution and history than being
limited only within the boundaries of contemporary designs.

8. According to Ross, architects are the key
figures when it comes to combine
function and aesthetics when for a huge
project. They should have the urge to
develop the quality, visual perception
and materials of the project.
A final thought from Lovegrove, “ If you
want a timeless idea, think about the
heart of a design.”

12. PHILOSOPHY
Philippe Starck came up with a concept called “democratic
design”, the aim of which is to introduce quality products for
different levels of people in the social hierarchy. He executed
this approach by increasing production quantities and using
mail orders via Les 3 Suisses. He also economized the cost
for public by starting his plastic-furniture line with Kertelll
and other projects with different brands. Alessie’s ‘juicy salif’
lemon squeezer, Zikmu speakers, Starckeyes glasses by Mikli,
bathroom fittings, Marie Coquine lamp for Baccarat are few
of his ways to reach the people who are not only among the
upper tiers.
With Starck’s concerns for the environment, he created the
Good Goods catalogue with La Redoute. He also gives
emphasis on high technology and human intelligence. His
recent creations are his organic food company named AOA,
electric car, pibal bike, chairs, etc. many of his designs also
carry political messages.

and quality products.

people to design them”.
