Write your post this week on your opinion of Newson’s work. How would you describe him as a designer? What from your research is your favorite and least favorite piece of design work from Newson?
I think he is a designer who learns quickly. I admire his ability as a designer to cross different industries, from spaceships to toilets as he talks about in Ted, and even though he studied jewelry making, he can design good products in other fields as well. I’ve seen him cross cultures and learn about the iconic artifacts of each culture, like the Chinese cloisonné. I’m really impressed that he’s able to make his work so big, and he keeps mentioning scale in his interviews, and I’ve seen the cloisonné in the Chinese Forbidden City, and they’re usually just vases. Instead, Newson overcame all the difficulties to make the cloisonné so big after learning the techniques of such artifacts. I particularly like her product “Lockheed Lounge”. Because I agree with him that a sculpture or a product has a life of its own, he just released Lockheed Lounge from a solid, which can live for a long time after he left the designer when he created it. life.
I don’t really like the case he made because I’m a dense phobic. cloisonné is already a bit uncomfortable for me, even though I’m used to this form of culture. But the thick dots on the back of this phone case really make me uncomfortable. It’s hard for me to imagine a person holding this phone case in front of me every day, and I would dislike this person because of this phone case
