Design by nature

After watching a series on youtube starring Pharrell. Where he was interviewing different artist from different fields such as architecture, product/interior design, music/audio, and traditional painter/sculptor. The show is called artist talk on the reserve channel. On this one episode Pharrell interviewed  Karim Rashid famous interior and product designer & Kenny Scharf pop artist. Well more about Karim and his unique odd free form shaped colored designs. Karim has designed two hotels one in Germany called nHow and the other in Greece called Semiramis. He designed the lobbies, restaurants, pools, rooms, even full professional recording studio in the nHow. The nHow is the most lavish design with big free form shape pink blob for its front desk. The lobby is full of the same of free form furniture. He says he wants his furniture and designs to be experiences for everybody. The type of designs he makes are high priced and usually not seen by the public this way people can enjoy the designs. About Kenny he was roomates and friends with the late graffiti artist Keith Haring. Keith Haring graffiti became iconic especially with hip hop during the nineties. That same graffiti style has inspired many even to new artist these from Chicago’s own Hebru Brantly. As he uses that Haring style in some of his paintings. All of this goes back to the essence of art people expressing themselves and just using the tools available. So art can be whatever it wants to be it’s mostly by what the viewer sees.
