| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Modernism | Bauhaus and De Stijl. Post WW1 - lots of Europe needed new stuff. Controversial at time especially Bauhaus: change from largely wooden interiors. Similar in 80s for Memphis Bent plywood furniture - Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer - continuous curves |
| Streamlining | As Art Deco develop, increase in architect. Flowing curves, smooth exteriors, bisected with chrome detailing. Aerodynamics for car body design. Seen as modern for everyday objects. Developments in materials like Bakelite enabled it. e.g. Raymod Loewy |
| Art Deco | Followed Art Nouveau (natural forms). Discover Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922. Interest in ancient world: Simple geometric forms (contrast Nou), ziggurats End of WW1 social classes - new age modern - sunburst motifs Chrysler building |
| Arts and Crafts | After Great Exhibition of 1851 celebrating industrial. Appreciation of materials. Inspiration from medieval craftsmanship. Natural materials - not hidden by ornamentation like machines did Main ones - William Morris, Richard Norman Shaw |
| Post-modernism | 70s and 80s Memphis design group - range of playful products. Sculptures to be admired - compromise on practicality. Anthropomorphic (human traits to objects) and zoomorphic (animal traits to objects) |
| Margaret Calvert | Graphic designer working w/ Jock Kinneir Developed the Transport font and many of the standard pictograms of UK road signs - stylised silhouettes: simple and clear communication Mix of upper + lower case - tested gives better high speed readability |
| Charles and Ray Eames | Plywood and polymer moulded furniture House reflected cubist architecture of De Stijl Their work on LCW (lounge chair wood) evolved from work with USA navy developing leg splints from laminated plywood |
| James Dyson | Bagless cleaning with dust extraction to separate dust from clean air. Through detailed product analysis of existing vacuum cleaner tech, identified problems with bag collection, which blocked with collected dust: reduced suction from cleaner DC01 |
| Phillipe Starck | Some postmodern sculptural pieces but interior design aimed at 'democratic design': population not elite Challenges perceptions and aims to enhance user experience: playful/thought-provoke design Experiment w/ modern materials/processes Jui Salif |
| Dieter Rams | Functionalist. Worked with Braun. Him and Braun did to electronics what Bauhaus to furniture - ornamental wooden case replace w/ functional minimal designs in white and grey e.g. SK4 radio set Relied on tech develop - transistors and thermoplastics |
| Dieter Rams 10 principles of design | Innovative, useful, aesthetic (form follow function), understandable, unobtrusive (no feature purely for aesthetics), honest (veneers not), longevity (stay relevant), thorough down to the last detail, environmentally friendly, as little design as possible |
| Marianne Brandt | Student at the Bauhaus Sold a range of geometrically pure kitchenware products which were successfully marketed and sold at time when most Bauhaus too controversial for mass market Simplicity of designs - ensured longevity/relevance in modern design |
| Who was the main designer for Apple? | Jonathan Ives |
| Arts and Crafts main ornamentations | Flowers, upside down hearts, Celtic motifs |
| Main geometric features of art deco | Sunbursts, ziggurats, streamlining, symmetry. |
| Art Deco ziggurats | stepped pyramids - seen in skyscraper designs (Chrysler building) of New York where 1916 zoning regulations forced to reduce impact on light to street - required setbacks as height increased |
| De Stijl | Netherlands based. basic rectilinear and primary colours - abstract artistic. Asymmetry. e.g. Gerrit Rietveld |
| Bauhaus | German founded Form follows function. e.g. Marcel Breuer Embrace machine age Geometrically pure forms inspired by Art Deco Everyday people aimed - mass production designed for cost |
| Marcel Breuer | Tubular steel in furniture design (inspired by bicycle handlebars) |
| Bauhaus embrace machine age | but like A+C no ornament. Saw beauty in machined finishes + fabrication as well as natural appear |
| DC01 vacuum cleaner features | Changing dust collection to separate dust without reducing suction Contrast colour on key features Injection moulded ABS with PC clear dust bin Integral fixings: disassembly and maintenance 3D form sculpted around tech Clear dust bin |
| 3D form sculpted around tech in the DC01 | so easier to understand and maintain |
| Clear dust bin in the DC01 | Pros: Sense of achievement as they can see dust collected, and also informs when to empty container Cons: Unsightly if not emptied |
| Juicy Salif | Single-piece aluminium casting. Very high centre of mass - unstable juicing Head too small for orange Striking for display not storage in drawers Tripod legs exit at angle: juice not down legs, increase stability, allow for glass underneath |
