Material Tension
We get at least 2 product mailings a day here at the shop and so it’s easy to go bleary eyed and loose your ability to see. This table by John Houshmand on the other hand caught my eye so much so that the post card sits behind my monitor so that i can look at it again and again to have just a taste of my first reaction… Material Tension!!
In the design world that i try to create I’m always looking for tension, the charge of energy that putting things of opposites together generates. Years ago Jessica said something that has stuck with me… the gist of it being … sucessful design is when Modern and Traditional aesthetics look at each other in surprise… what a great graphic image.. Perhaps one of the staples of how i look at a space and create longevity; is when i’m able to impart something human into a space, like ourselves, our quirky personalities, our contradictions…. Material Tension!!
