Abhorring design that is superfluous, Welsh industrial designer Ross Lovegrove is a true advocate of an esthetic that combines depth and thoughtfulness with emerging technologies and new materials. Dubbed “Captain Organic”, his human- and earth-centric works are inspired by the logic and beauty of nature and informed by a social and environmental consciousness, prominent examples being the Sony ngIf: ticker Walkman, Apple ngIf: ticker AAPL +9.11% ngIf: show_card end ngIf: ticker computers, the Liquid bench and table collection, KEF Muon loudspeaker, Narciso Rodriguez Essence perfume bottle, Zanotta Brazilia lounger and footstool, leather luggage for Louis Vuitton ngIf: ticker , Ty Nant water bottle, Luceplan Solar Bud garden lamp and Swarovski Crystal Aerospace concept solar car. He participated in the Atelier de Nîmes alongside Philippe Starck and Jean Nouvel, consulting for Cacharel, Louis Vuitton and Hermès, which he calls “a lovely time because I was the only one in Paris bridging the gap between luxury, ideas and art”, and his work has been exhibited in world-famous centers for art and design, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Design Museum in London.
