Thomas Heatherwicks designs are less functional than some of
the other designers I have seen; they have a more sculptural background. His
work focuses greatly on shape, have a clean finish and have a beautiful quality.
The most iconic of his designs in the cauldron for the 2012 Olympic
games; every piece was beautifully crafted, and the way it symbolized all those
countries coming together for the games, was inspirational.
I like this work because it has a slightly quirky nature: it’s
different. The stairs are particularly interesting I think, because the heave a
futuristic feel to them, and the bright red combined with the natural colour of
the wood, works very well.
Looking at his work involving aluminium, it has a very
natural look to it. They’re beautiful pieces of work in the way that they flow
and change from every angle. The shining aluminium finish makes them look like
water that has shaped itself into flowing benches.
