設計師德萊賽
㈠ 工業設計師德萊賽簡介
19世紀出現了一個有植物學背景的工業設計師 德萊賽。德萊賽對科學極感興趣,並作為植物學家進行研究工作,撰寫了有關這學科的專著和論文,擔任過4所大學的植物學教授。
從事科學研究使他對自然形式與裝飾的關系感興趣,在1857年的《藝術學報》上,他清楚的表明 他在尋找符合邏輯地解決設計的實際問題的途徑。
關於裝飾問題,德萊賽反對直接模仿自然,他認為植物里的形式必須經過人為的規范化後才有用。「規范化的植物形象就是以最純凈的形式描繪出來的自然,因此,它們不是自然的仿製品,而是完美的植物精神實質的具體形象。」
德萊賽潛心研究的植物學不單單是圖案和形態的來源,用他的話來說,植物表現出了「合理的目的性」,或者說「適應性」。德萊賽是率先以合理方式分析形式與功能之間關系的設計師之一,這不能不說是受植物學的影響。
另外 找到一個英文簡介:
Christopher Dresser (Glasgow, July 4, 1834 – Mulhouse, November 24, 1904) was a designer and writer on design, now widely known as Britain』s first independent instrial designer and as a contributor to the Anglo-Japanese and Aesthetic movements in Britain.
Dresser was born in Glasgow, Scotland. At age 13, he began attending the Government School of Design, Strand. He received training in design as well as botany, and he took on the latter as his specialization. After completing his studies, he lectured in botany and art-botany at the School of Design and the Female School of Design. He also wrote two books on the subject, as well as series of articles that appeared in the Art Journal in 1857, "Botany as Adapted to the Arts and Art Manufactures." He was awarded an honorary doctorate in absentia from the University of Jena, Germany in 1859 for his writings.
Dresser applied to be the chair of botany at University College, London in 1860 but was not granted the position. Around this time, he began to focus less on his activities as a botanist and more on his design practice. His design work included carpets, silver and electroplate, wallpaper, pottery, glass, and metalwork. He wrote several books on design and ornament, including The Art of Decorative Design (1862), The Development of Ornamental Art in the International Exhibition (1862), and Principles of Design (1871-72). In 1876, Dresser traveled throughout Japan, recording his impressions in Japan, its Architecture, Art and Art-Manufactures. He took inspiration both from Japanese motifs and materials, and his work showing this influence is considered archetypical of the Anglo-Japanese style. From 1879, he was appointed director of the Linthorpe Art Pottery in Linthorpe in Middlesbrough (although his name disappeared from the ware by 1882). Some of Dresser』s iconic designs are still in proction, such as his celebrated oil and vinegar sets and toast rack designs, that are now manufactured by Alessi. One of his designs is thought to have inspired the 1967 novel The Owl Service.
