<span style="background-color: white; font-family: FuturaLTPro-Medium; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: FuturaLTPro-Medium; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">Considered a sculptor of furniture and spaces, Arad has pushed the boundaries of acceptability with his choices of materials and decorative components.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He has cultivated a high tech/post punk/post apocalyptic aesthetic, utilising deliberately coarse industrial materials, coupled with found objects and scrap.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">However, he is also highly selective of his materials and the ways in which they are manipulated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">His initial aesthetic is most prominent in his interior design during the 1980's, such as his work for Bazaar on London's South Molton Street, 1984, in which cast concrete features where accompanied with an air of dislocation, destruction and decay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Arad's furniture takes a more ironic and playful vain that is undeniably present in the form of his "Big easy" chair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The big easy series was intended to demonstrate that comfort could be obtained using industrial materials, that would not normally be associated with soft furnishings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Later Arad moved toward mass producing some of his earlier designs, Such as his "Book worm" Bookcase, that was first produced in limited numbers and constructed from steel, and later re released made out of translucent plastic for more general consumption and manufactured by Kartell. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Memphis Design Group</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A design collaborative formed by Ettore Stottsass in the 1980's, comprised of Italian designers and architects. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The name apparently originates from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hKSEIAXzCU"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>this</b></span></a> Bob Dylan Song, which was being played on repeat throughout their first meeting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Their main creative influences were the Art Deco and Pop art movements, and their main aim was to reinvigorate the radical design movement by contesting the contemporary concept of 'good design'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They met again in the February of 1981, by which time the members had produced 100+ drawings. September the same year the group exhibited a range of clocks, lighting, furniture and ceramics, intentionally using materials that lacked culture, such as coloured laminates, at the Arc 74 Showroom, Milan. To an audience of internationally famous architects and designers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They also released a book; "Memphis, the new international style". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The group had always fully intended to be a fad, and in 1988 Stottsass disbanded the group, having left himself in 1985. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Members included; </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anti- Design</span> </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">was a movement that originated in Italy and spanned from 1966-1980.</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Notable characteristics included use of striking colours, distortion of scale and ironic/kitsch presentation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">The primary function of their designs was to subvert the way the user thought about the object. This was a form of open rebellion against the avant-garde designers working in the industry at that time, who conformed heavily to the perfectionist aesthetic of modernism. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A key spokesman for the movement was Ettore Stottsass, who later went on to found the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Group"> <span style="color: #660000;">Memphis </span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">design group. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Other notable groups are <a href="http://www.archigram.net/"><span style="color: #660000;">Archigram</span></a> and <a href="http://www.superstudiogroup.com/e/home/home.html"><span style="color: #660000;">Superstudio </span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The movements manifestos can still be considered revolutionary, focusing on function over beauty and principles such as temporary and throw away design that reflects the mass production of objects to fulfil consumerist greed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Their main aim was to make people think and engage with the products, even if they did ultimately throw them away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The movement ultimately became the root of post modernist design. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Designers within the movement include; </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Vico Magistretti, Gianfranco Franco Franchini, Livio Castiglioni, Enzo Mari, Piero Gilardi and Paolo Lomazzi </span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Rafel Araujo is a Venezuelan artist/illustrator who's stylistic influences include both Da Vinci and M.C. Escher. </span></h3>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-top: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Working on an old drafting table, Araujo began drawing his own perspective illustrations, eyeballing the trigonometry to plot dot sequences that would allow him to create curved shapes like double helixes and cones. If you look closely at Araujo’s drawings, you’ll notice each of the main shapes sits within a line-drawn square or rectangle—he began adding this to his works after realizing these scaffolding boxes created a more reliable way to correctly position the dots. “There is naturally a learning curve,” he says. “And as problems are solved, you become more adept and, again, daring.”</span></blockquote>
