� Group Lead Design. Innovative concepts in under 2 hours.

As part of a Middlesex University AimHigher scheme we were asked to a 2hr workshop on ‘product design’.  This started a quick tour of the workshops, and then a brief over view of what they thought a product designer was.

Ron Arad | icon 028 | October 2005

http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?view...

Ron Arad I came to London in ’73. I’d spent a year at art school in Tel Aviv and I needed a break. I didn’t even pack my LPs – they were very important to me. So I came to London for a break – and I’m still on my break.

Giulo Cappellini

http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?view...

Giulio Cappellini is dressed immaculately, but in a way that could only be described, to use his own definitions, as "classic" rather than "contemporary". The blue blazer with paisley handkerchief is not, perhaps, a uniform one would associate with one of the men who has shaped the firmament of contemporary furniture design.

Greg Lynn’s Blob Wall

http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?view...

The humble brick has had a redesign courtesy of Greg Lynn/Form. Blob Wall is a partitioning system built up of large individual “blobs”, rotationally moulded from recyclable plastic. Lynn has pushed the capabilities of the blobs, which have previously only appeared as a freestanding wall, by folding them into an arched pavilion for an installation at the Sci-Arc gallery in Los Angeles. “Every time we have been commissioned to do a Blob Wall installation we’ve tweaked the concept, but this is the first time that we have arrived at an enclosed unit,” says Jackilin Bloom of Lynn’s design team.

Intel

http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?view...

Who does the world’s biggest microchip manufacturer turn to when it wants to see the future? A company like Intel is in the business of long-term betting, and it can’t afford to get it wrong. So it’s working with some unlikely people in its quest to steer the direction of consumer electronics – not computer scientists, but a group of London-based product and interaction designers… and their students.
