If in real life humanity is fighting against GMOs by sticking appropriate labels on food, then designers have nothing to worry about - their modified "organisms" have the right to life, and are often much more in demand and popular than "natural products". People are drawn to everything original and unusual, which the Japanese author took advantage of. Hisakazu Shimizucreating a collection of unusual household items and decor Fruits.
Strange fruit, that was the name of the exhibition of this collection of the designer, which is presented in the VIVID design gallery in Rotterdam (Holland). Unusual household items are lamps, as well as clocks and decorative elements in the form of outlandish fruits.
Moreover, they are outlandish not only because of the modified shape and color: for greater uniqueness, the author "crossed" two fruits into one, gave one fruit the characteristics of the other, or even came up with absolutely incredible fruits, taking advantage of the fact that these art objects do not lie on the shelves vegetable departments, and do not end up in the refrigerator of a restaurant, or home cooking, in order to later become a dessert or salad.
So, among these same art-Fruits, square watermelons and melons appear, or even an amazing melon melon in the form of a table clock. Wall art lamp made from a whole bunch of strange fruits and berries. And finally, nightlights, consisting of two pairs of multi-colored glass hybrids. The exhibition at the Rotterdam VIVID design gallery will run until August 3, 2011.
