Speaker: Lior Kristal, Design Director

Topic: Design Journey with David Harber

Synopsis:

For Millenia creative output has been inspired by not only patterns in nature but celestial bodies and the landscape. Our talk will explore this and look at the symbolism that often lies behind sculpture using the works of David Harber to illustrate these ideas.

We will talk about the main aspects to consider when incorporating artwork into a space such as location, prominence, and proportion as well as materials, surfaces, and textures in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

With the design journey at David Harber our desire is to create works that shape the environments they’re in. Without dominating them. They aim to distort surroundings and our perception of them and create spaces that are different and arresting.
