Alan Saga ("AS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Only Right Here Knife holder. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
AS : The conscience evolves as well as the human being and goes through a process of collective transition, giving rise to new projections oriented to the welfare of society and the subjects that surround it.
AS : The project is an opportunity to express a sociocultural concept through industrial design and consumer objects giving them a significant symbolic charge.
AS : Introduce to the national and international market a series of art object that consists of 3 pieces initially
AS : One thousand hours of 3D modeling plus 300 hours for the design of the injection mold.
AS : I always wanted to share the culture of my country, and I think bullfighting is a potential topic, with ideas and representative level. The start of this project was completely free, and of my personal inspiration.
AS : I'm going to introduce the first 3 pieces of the series to the market soon.
AS : The awakening of consciousness at the collective level.
AS : I received advice from a teacher to select the aesthetic language of the piece, conceptually I received feedback from many designers.
AS : People fond of gastronomy, design, art, animal protection and bullfighting.
AS : The objective of the series is to promote culture through industrial design by replacing a daily product with another one of greater artistic content within the socially responsible context. Through the function of the objects, a visual metaphor is transmitted, which narrates a postmodernist theme giving a symbolic charge to the proposal.
AS : The name represents the awakening of collective consciousness at the humanist level.
AS : 3D modeling, primary and secondary research and prototyping.
AS : The conceptual structure is a fusion of a sociological theme and a functional object, which results in a sculptural representation.
AS : It is a totally individual project, from its conceptualization to the design of mass production molds.
AS : It is a fundamental part of the project, to develop the design both conceptually and technically.
AS : I interviewed people in favor of and found about bullfighting, with the director of a non-profit association in favor of the abolition of these violent practices and consulted the most conservative professional surveys Parametria (Mexico).
AS : Develop the design in a modeling software.
AS : I received good acceptance of the media and online platforms, both nationally and internationally. My project received the title to the best industrial design in the Iconic Design contest, made by the magazine Architectural Digest Mexico, this award motivated me to participate Internationally in this competition.
AS : This project gave me the opportunity to develop my own style to create a series.
AS : If the ego is the worst enemy of creativity, is humility the best ally?
