Task 5: Ross Lovegrove: organic design

i think that the take home message from this video is that the way of the future of design is using materials that are recycable biodegradable and generally better for the environment.

even think about designing objects with more then one purpose so as to use less materials, such as the car/ street lamp that was shown on the video, which was also powered by the sun.

i think that another point that ross was trying to make is that design can come from the most natural basic thing and turn out to look very good or "funky".
that as designers we dont always have to go for a look that is totally new and different but rather rivert back to nature and find inspiration there.
he belives in "fat free" design, stripping an object of everything it does not need and just leaving the basics.
he likes the idea of stripping designs down to their basics yet creating something different and exciting
