Luis Porem; Industrial and Furniture Designer – The Trico Chair


Following my earlier post on the RGB glasses, I have been in contact with design Luis Porem and have some more of his impressive work to show,

In particular Porem’s newest addition to his already impressive folio, the Trico Chair

Wood, metal and textile, in three different colours, are the caracteristic that lift the Trico Chair. Joining the three materials it is possible to get a distinguishable simplicity and harmony.
The fact of being able of pile the chair and work with different materials make the Trico chair a functional, versatile object, with is own character.

After finishing the University, were I’ve study industrial and interior design, I’ve moved to Barcelona, were I’ve started working in Estudio Mariscal for an year and a half.

LP: There’s a lot of designers that I admire like Achille Castiglioni, Enzo Mari, Charles and Ray Eames, Bouroullec brothers, Konstantin Grcic, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Javier Mariscal, and many others. Idols I don’t have none. I try to learn from everything, search design not only in other’s works.

DT: Are you professionally trained or were you self taught?

LP: I’ve study at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, in the course of Industrial and Interior design.

DT: What are you working on at the moment?

LP: At this moment I’m more in a period of research for new projects I want to do. It’s an important moment because I like to be convinced of what I’m doing. I try to justify everything I do to myself.

DT: What’s the best and worst parts of being a full time, working designer?

LP: The best thing of being a designer is to be able to create and explore your creativity. Design objects that can improve the life of the users.

The worst thing is the difficult that exist on giving life to the creation.

 

DT: Any advice to up and coming artists/designers?

LP: To believe in the work they do, and make the best they can in everything they do. That’s the best attitude to have in relation with all areas.

    Keine Ideen für Deine Einrichtung – jedoch der nächste
    Einzug in ein neues Haus steht an? Welche Lebensart Du auch immer
    wählst, Du solltest Dich im neuen Haus wohlfühlen ebenso wie Deinen eigenen Wohnstil in die
    Praxis umsetzen. Darum nimm Dir vor einem Einzug hinreichend Zeit sowie
    lasse Dich anregen und entdecke rechtzeitig angemessene Ideen für Deine Einrichtung.

  16. It’s genuinely very difficult in this full of activity life to listen news on Television, thus
    I just use world wide web for that reason, and get the
    hottest news.

  17. Das ist nämlich großartig, Lieben Dank! Das hat mir gefallen und ist besonders wissenswert.
    Die Gedankenfinde ich begreiflich. Ebendiese Einfälle sind mir gleichfalls allerdings durch das Denkzentrum

    Besten von meinen Viellesern ein aufschlussreiches Thema repräsentiert.

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
