The history and practice of Industrial Design in Victoria Australia is my research interest and this blog include posts related to this interest as well as my practice as a designer and design educator.

Mario Bellini - Shanghai
The practice of Mario Bellini has long been of personal interest to me as a collector, academic and industrial design practictioner. The Kartell - Work in Project stand at Salone Internazionale del Mobile this year profiled outstanding designers and exhibited sketches, models and prototypes of design projects. I was more than delighted to see Mario Bellini's most recent work up close and personal. The project explores the idea of the lights of Shanghai, which given my new role in China, I will see these lights a lot in coming years. The existence, in 2012, of the white polystyrene model is evidence of the continued importance of this design modelling practice and it supports my interest in this technique and it's influence on design practice in Victoria.
