I have always loved nature and as I have entered the world of design I seem to have taken my love for the natural aesthetics with me. Nature creates the most obscure and unique forms whether it's storms or stones. Last year in my live project for Whitecroft Lighting, I designed a suspended luminaire that was inspired by the intricate shape of bird skulls.
For this project, as we seem to be continuing to focus on Surfacing giving more leverage to create organic forms I thought I would look back at natures little miracles. I took a keen interest in one of my favourite things in the world: plant based foods. As a vegan, my house is constantly full of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and so on that come in array of shapes, sizes and of course, colours.
I have been doing some rough sketches of seasonal fruits we have around the house such as figs, pears and plums.
