STUDIO MS


This design duo have a series of products using a concertina type origami, the light pictured above consists of a hard-back book cover with the pages replaced with the origami, by opening and closing the book the brightness of the light can be changed. It then allows for easy storage when not in use as it can then be placed on your bookshelf. The origami technique is the same as VEASYABLE use in their accessories, it's interesting how the same technique can be manipulated into different objects and how simply they have managed to produce two ranges of items which have no similarities in their aesthetics or working ideologies. VEASYABLE are concerned with creating ways which people can find isolation in their surroundings, whereas STUDIO MS produce functional, multi-purpose products. They have found a way to apply the origami technique to tables, books, bags and seating. Their seats are designed to act as a way of bringing people closer by allowing people to move either end around to face each other instead of having to just sit next to each other. I prefer the aesthetics they capture and how, in my opinion, they have created something far more functional in everyday life.
