Post 6: Main Project plans and inspirations 2023
3 Comments
I have a difficult time defining my own aesthetic, as it feels like a very fluid combination of several different concepts. If I were to narrow it down, I’d say my aesthetic is a combination of tech, nature, metro, and retro. Partially, this comes from a respect/longing for past decades, possibly due to my exposure…

Post 5: What designer do you admire? 2023
2 Comments
Mark Newsom, a multi-disciplinary designer, is a designer who I greatly admire. Much of his furniture design appeals to me in its minimalistic design, often utilizing smooth, flowing lines and natural shapes. Furthermore, his color palette is interesting to me. Most of the time, he seems to focus on metallic elements of design. However, Newsom…

Up to this point, I have collected all materials necessary for my upcycle project, and am now working on final manufacturing processes and assembly. Unfortunately, I was unable to utilize the upcycled stained glass I found, and instead decided to use copper sheet I purchased from McGuckin. I decided to downscale my lamp to one…

Post 2: What is your Upcycling project aesthetic and why? 2023
2 Comments
For my Upcycle project, I am choosing to build a 3-bulb lamp using an upcycled liquor bottle. I am hoping to imitate flowers in a vase with my creation, embracing the aesthetic of Electrical appliances imitating natures. The “flowers” will be the bulbs of the lamp, using upcycled stained glass to imitate petals. While I…

Aesthetics Exploration – Art Deco

January 31, 2023
Owen Hull
Post 1: Aesthetic Explorations 2023, Student Work
No Comments
Born out of the artistic style of 1920s and 30s, Art Deco is a sleek and streamlined (although certainly not minimalistic) aesthetic. Art Deco emphasizes both form and functionality, adding artistic touch to functional items and architecture. Blocks of color and high contrast images are often seen in the Art Deco movement. Art Deco combines…
