Epic fail

Hard Rock was designed to evoke a slice of landscape, the form plays with the ambiguity of natural environments. Inviting the user to explore the shape rather then being told the exact use for each section.

I can tell you the exact use for the whole piece, but perhaps after the watershed.

^ fantastic, nothing like designy mumbo jumbo copy

"In the city, it is hard sometimes to get a sense of distance, as areas can become so compact. This project explores the ideal of distance, it looks at the many benches in public space, which instead of the idyllic view of some distant land you get traffic jam of Kingsland Road. That for the city, the landscape is the car.

It seams weird to me that in the city cars are designed with a form, which is to be seen singly and for the car to move as fast as it can. But in reality cars in the city move slow and in large groups. What if cars could be designed with this in mind?
I like the idea for designing cars like mountains that when they come together they make a landscape. For the initial exploration of this project I decided to make a car cover to temporary change cars into landscapes. I wanted to use the same techniques that people use to fix their cars, with gaffer and tape."

I always love reading the logic behind shite art. Generally translates as "I saw this thing the other day and thought, wouldn't that be cool?"

Edit: Or did you write it?

from here.

I've managed to find a picture of her.

She seems pretty grounded actually....

oh, wait a minute...

Identity crisis?

She reminds me of...

I used to have a bath like that - matt grippy dots so you didn't slip in the shower, which soon became permanently filthy with limescale and staining. It was fucking rank so I ripped it out.

You should have photographed it, blogged about it, stuck it on a plinth and asked £2,995 for it.

Identity crisis?

She is currently designer in residence at the design museum.

yeah say what you want about her stuff, she's doing loads and is going places

Emperor's neu clothes?

Don't understand... That doesn't seem epic, just rubbish...!sorry if I missed something

Hah, I was just pointing it out, putting it out there, not that it necessarily means she is a great designer.

It's funny to me that people's initial reaction is that she's a fraud. So she dresses like an extra off Star Wars, so what?!

People like this have a gift for sales and justification of their work.
Anyone can throw shit at a wall or make a bed or cut an animal in half etc but it takes a true cunt to a) come up with such a useless idea in the first place. b) sound so plausible in its explanation that someone with more money than sense will want to pay for it.
I for my part hate form over function and what i want in a cup is something that I can wash out easily so I don't feel sick before I put milk in it.
This woman is just a chancer like so many talentless imbeciles out there.
Good luck to her.

the problem with 'designers' is that the only peoples whos' opinions of them that seem to hold any sway are other 'designers'.

Well put, and true.

Perfect example - Henry Holland
