如果你想要一只设计精良、价格也不错的机械手表,下周就应该去伦敦肖雷迪奇的制服用品店。
这个手表品牌是英国手表制造商新一轮耐人寻味的潮流的一部分,它在伦敦设计节期间在那里举办了一个展览。节目名为12:24,将包括安东尼·伯里尔、埃德·沃德和埃丽卡·多恩的委托作品。
品牌联合创始人帕特里克·贝克(PatrickBek)说,我们希望找到一种方式来展示我们对当代艺术和设计的热情,但以一种与我们手表品牌相关的方式。于是,他们招募了一群他们最喜欢的平面艺术家和插画家,并要求他们创作一幅受到“关键时刻”启发的版画。
伦敦的产品设计师OliverFowles和PatrickBk成立了统一的产品,现在才三年,现在正在创建机械和石英驱动的手表设计。
这对首次发现了对手表和钟表的相互热情,同时在雄鹿新大学学习家具设计。
特别影响的是英国品牌史密斯和莱斯特的绅士们,以他们的电气墙和桌钟设计闻名,在1950年代在英国的学校、办公室和其他城市环境中非常受欢迎。
简单的、平面设计的统一货物”计时件,部分地,是一种敬仰的敬意。
贝克说,从产品设计的背景来看,我们一直想在伦敦设计节期间展示,但我们觉得仅仅创建一家临时商店展示手表是不够的。委托这12位艺术家创作受时间启发的作品,已经产生了一系列发人深省和美丽的作品。我们对他们的所作所为感到无比高兴。
最终的版画将展出在一个统一的器皿手表从目前的收藏,其中的手将被设置以反映的时间艺术家已说明。展览期间,每张印刷品的限量版24张将与手表一起购买,并可在制服用品网站www.biswares.com在线购买。
Uniform Wares 200 Series model with ETA movement, grey dial and tan strap
For its pop-up shop in Shoreditch, Uniform Wares has enlisted a group of its favourite graphic artists and illustrators to create a print inspired by a 'pivotal moment' in time. Anthony Burrill picked 06:30 as his inspiration. 'I like to get up early and work for a couple of hours before everybody else is awake,' he says. 'It's easy in the summer when the sun is up and the birds are singing, but Winter is much harder. My print is bright and positive. During the winter it will be a reminder of the Summer mornings. The words act as a rousing call to action; get up, get busy and make things happen!
Designer and developer Ed Ward's print for Uniform Wares suggests a bright and sunny morning. He opted for 14:15, saying: 'I'd only ever worried about the time when I was late. Then my son arrived ten weeks early - what a surprise'
Erica Dorn's print is inspired by 14:29. Says the illustrator: 'The autumnal equinox in 2012 falls on September 22 at 14:49. At this precise time, Night will finally find itself equal to Day and summer, as it is defined in the astronomical calendar, will end – if, some would be compelled to interject, it ever arrived at all. As the bitter edge of the dark season approaches, we brace ourselves for walking in heavy boots, our faces angled to the sun like little sunflowers, waiting for a break in the clouds to grace us.'
