Ross Lovegrove is a designer incredible. When I saw his watch diminutive of Human Hu, extension timepiece, made ​​by Issey Miyake, I immediately thought: "My goodness, genius." It 'a union between titanium and hypoallergenic silicone band and the operation is simple and basic, with only hour and minute hands and two indicators dots and sinuous shape is modeled on the wrist of the wearer: a great job applied ergonomics.

Born in Cardiff in 1958, Ross Lovegrove is one of the most successful designers on the international scene: his inimitable style was inspired by the laws of the reductionism of shapes, materials and colors. The study of human physiognomy and organic forms characterizes his work as always, it is considered an "evolutionary biologist" and his works seem to really "cartilage and bone structure" of objects. He has created all sorts of functional element: the Walkman to the seats of airplanes, from chairs to lamps. DNA below the stairs in his London studio, his Go chairs produced by Bernhardt Design Chair for Moroso Supernatural.

Mercury lamps also his beautiful, new production Artemis, System X for Yamagiwa and Andromeda.

"I am convinced that the purpose of design is to improve human life. In my research I am inspired by nature where nothing is random and nothing superfluous, everything happens for a reason ... simplicity and elegance of form, minimum use of materials and perfect functionality "Ross Lovegrove.

Nicholas draws by hand (especially with China) and his tables are very detailed, have a distinctive visual style.
