Devid Gualandris — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 11:48:36 +0000

Mobility is constantly evolving, with new technologies wielding huge potential to further shift the way we move and travel. For decades, Designworks—the creative workshop of BMW Group—has been at the forefront of shaping how we will get people and goods around in the future. Earlier this month, the California-based design studio made an historic move and relocated from its longtime home in Newbury Park, CA, to a new inspiring space in Santa Monica. IGNANT was invited to have an exclusive peek at how the new creative environment gives shape to endless areas of innovation, bringing tomorrow’s technology to life.

Transforming Spaces Through Portability: A New Sense Of Place

Devid Gualandris — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 14:00:47 +0000

In 1995, French anthropologist Marc Augé coined the neologism ‘non-place’ to describe places that are not a destination but spaces of passing; lacking meaning and history, with which humans do not experientially relate to in an intimate sense. IGNANT has digitally-rendered these functional and highly visual spatial productions as fugitive glimpses of a pristine world—as desolate, transient public places, characterized by concrete and artificial surfaces. We set out to show how the new HP Elite Dragonfly portable laptop may transform these spaces of transition, by reappropriating and reassessing our notions of place.

Lightness relates just as much to the physical weight and property of materials as it does to the appearance of objects, structures, and spaces—it is an intangible quality that concerns the form, the composition, and the use of materials. As technological advancements take thin and light to the extreme, lightness has become a desirable state of being. Can lightness be flawlessly conveyed as an artistic concept?

The Future Is Quantum: The Computing Revolution That Will Change Transport Design

Josh Hall — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 13:00:28 +0000

Are you reading this text on a computer? Or a phone, or a tablet? Whichever it is, it relies on one fundamental principle: binary. Ones and zeroes; lines upon lines of data flowing endlessly through different systems. Break them down to their smallest elements, and any digital object is one of two different things: an ‘on’, or an ‘off’.

The landscape of electric cars has become crowded. In the affordable market, major automakers offer vehicles that feel more playful than futuristic. And in the luxury market, innovation and craft are eclipsed by the antics of CEOs and stakeholders, causing finances to cast large shadows over eco-friendliness.

Rosie Flanagan — Wed, 29 May 2019 17:05:40 +0000

Beneath the Alps in Lombardy, a glacial river once flowed; its icy mass scouring a Y-shaped path that today holds the blue waters of Lake Como. Fringed by villages and mountains, the lake has the romance of renaissance architecture and landscape at its heart. Last weekend however, beauty of a different kind was on show there; namely, the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

The question of “good design” is complex and multifaceted. Take Charles Eames’ reflection on the subject: “Don’t give us that good design crap,” he retorted. “The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years?”
