HYDRO SERIES SPECIAL PROJECTS DESIGN ROSS LOVEGROVE

Ross Lovegrove

Ross Lovegrove is a world renowned industrial designer and visionary who’s work is considered to be at the very apex of stimulating a profound change in the physicality of our three dimensional World.

Inspired by the logic and beauty of nature his designs possess a trinity between technology, materials science and intelligent organic form, creating what many industrial leaders see as the new aesthetic expression for the 21st Century.

There is always embedded a deeply human and resourceful approach in his designs, which project an optimism, and innovative vitality in everything he touches from cameras to cars to trains, aviation and architecture.

Born 1958 in Cardiff, Wales.

Graduated from Manchester Polytechnic with 1st Class BA Hons Industrial Design in 1980. Master of Design of Royal College of Art, London in 1983.

His work is held in permanent collections of various design museums around the world including Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA), Design Museum in London and the Vitra Design Museum Weil Am Rhein, Basel, CH.

Hydro Series "As the name implies these new designs for Artemide relate to my research into the hydrodynamics of water and the organic surface qualities that promote the reflective articulation of light. They are true to my work in the way the surfaces have been generated via digital contemporary means; translating the abstract forces of nature and her beauty into every day space enhancing light fittings".

INSPIRATION

Mercury suspension Ross Lovegrove 2008

“A ceiling fixture that places a floating assembly of large pebbles below a simple modern aluminum disc. These in turn reflect each other, bouncing light between their taught bio-morphic surfaces and reflecting the environment around them. During the day, the piece acts as a sculptural object reflecting the dynamics of natural light and movement of people around them.”
