Watch this space
The space is too big for everyone to dance, it is not to let to show people what you have, abilities, intelligent and energetic you are. In 2012 I will be finishing my degree and the space is not ending there, I will be having my own company which I’m busy doing research about it.
The space is too big to fulfil my dreams, now I see where I am going. The future is bright now no one will stop me its only the stars now will stop me, other than that watch me!!
I have inspired by the story of: Jared Odell, a student from CPUT. That’s the space I’m talking about, just give yourself a time do things differently and you will see the space becoming so big.
Jared says he has always loved the idea of bespoke goods, from furniture right down to one-of-a-kind suits and cars.
He decided to share this love for bespoke items through custom design services to interior designers and the public.
The Fulbright collection was sparked by the concept of being able to pick your favorite colours, which are then incorporated into the furniture with powder-coated metal. “I’ve tried to keep the designs as simple as possible. I didn’t want to hide how the pieces are put together, so I’ve used stainless steel fasteners and they add to the feel of the designs,” Jared says.
VISI spoke to Jared to find out more about his work and his inspiration.
Where and what did you study?
I studied Industrial Design at CPUT. I first did the three-year diploma then traveled around the world for a bit to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. The following year, 2008, I came back and did my BTech in Industrial Design.
From where do you draw inspiration?I think, for this range, I’ve drawn my inspiration from the actual materials I’m using, especially the sheet metal. I love the concept of folding something weak and two-dimensional into something strong and three-dimensional. By putting a fold in the metal in the right place you can add an incredible amount of strength to a component, so I’ve just been playing around with these possibilities, aesthetically and functionally.
the space will never end.........................
