进入设计师想象的创作国度


观了位于Marina Bay SandsArtScience Museum里的ESSENTIAL EAMES –A Herman Miller Exhibition,果然吸收了很多知识,令人大开眼界,极受设计系学生的喜爱,让我们进入了他们一身经历和想象的创作世界。


Charles Ray Eames, 是一对著名的美国设计师夫妇,他们不仅对现代建筑与家私行业有着无限大的贡献,而且也被人称为勇于尝试新设计的设计兼发明家。这对设计师的创作挺广的,无论是从个人的视觉享受,还是感官与实际体验,他们的作品的确使用了不少来自生活旅途中的灵感加以设计,为人们带来了许多方便兼美感的日常物品,当然他们的作品从家具设计到玩具,从摄影到影片制作等。


我参观了两次ESSENTIAL EAMES –A Herman Miller Exhibition,第一次是与朋友们,第二次是趁着新加坡国庆日ArtScience Museum开放日与家人前来欣赏里头的艺术作品。当然自己更了解这对设计师夫妇的故事,就能为妈妈和妹妹讲解。平常的ESSENTIAL EAMES –A Herman Miller Exhibition成人入门票价为SGD15,若和其他展览一同购买的入门票会是比较划算。此设计师夫妇的展览日期于2013年6月29日至明年2014年1月5日。想知更多相关消息,可以前往http://www.marinabaysands.com/Singapore-Museum/Ticketing/


参观一次展览如同上了在课堂里无法上到的课,配合guided tour向我们仔细的讲解,从第一间设计师生平的简介到之后每间展览厅的各个领域设计(过程,建筑,展览,平面设计,摄影,影片,家具与联系),我们渐渐从陌生对这对设计夫妇的认识。CharlesRay原本是老师与学生的关系,1940年他们相遇之时, Charles刚被任命为工业设计系主任, Ray还是一名新生,因为有着共同的思想与兴趣,他俩就一起出发在创作世界里继续努力,彻底重塑了20世纪的设计风潮。



他们的创作作品和大师名言的确对我有所启发和联想,他们的创作都是受周围的事物有所影响,例如当他们知道香蕉叶在印度广泛被拿来使用来当食物的盘子,他们借助灵感以香蕉叶的花纹图案设计了类似的盘子,带出了简约风格和有效的实际用途。


数学与科学的趣味实验,让参观者体会当中太阳系里宇宙引力的概念,被释放的铁珠如曾经玩过爆旋陀螺在轮盘上转动,越接近中心点时的速度就越急速,那也代表引力就越强,间接也解释了地球和其他星球围绕太阳公转所需要的时间和引力的关系。


Eames House看来十分宽大,而且特别专注于简约的前卫设计,钢铁与玻璃为材料,砖块铺上在草地上。它除了是设计师居住的家,后方的工作室与前厅隔开,只要步过一个庭院就能到达后方的工作室,听说现在开放让参观者前往参观。


与玩具接触可以带来无限的灵感。这是德国版鲜艳颜色对比的House-of-cards设计,它是类似积木概念的卡片玩具,玩家可以随着自己的创意发挥想象力装出自己想要的模型。看看还真有点象爱丽丝梦游仙境中的纸牌皇宫。



原先这对设计夫妇发明这玩意儿送给自己的孙子,但之后因为某商家看中了其潜在市场的受欢迎度而决定大量生产,过后好像证明了这的确是了不起的玩具发明。或许这就是所谓设计与构造,还有热振与好奇心把成果展现出来。



40多年的创作生涯中,设计师夫妇产生过大量的平面设计作品-如请帖,宣传册,海报,包装,印刷品,纸媒广告跟玩具等。这样的设计与感觉,就真的很像西洋旧时电影里的用具,所以展览厅里的视觉享受有点让参观者仿佛进入时光隧道去看这设计师夫妇的创作生涯。


在摄影的展览厅内可以看见非常专注和用心的摄影作品,照片也是为创作带来的灵感之一来源,从生活中发现到的奇特事物还是与众不同的角度如某建筑物的外观还是一对普通人看是普通不过了的鞋子等图像都能成为日后创作的题材。


展览厅里有着不少的艺术作品,包括这对设计师夫妇的灵感收藏物品,Ray的艺术画作,人生旅程所发现的摄影作品,Herman Miller的家私摆设,还有当作艺术纪录片来欣赏的Powers Of Tens (1977)等。从这些展览品中可以察觉当中新奇佩服的概念,从他们的设计,可以发现一种叫做“不可思议”的东西~


尤其是这长达大约九分钟的Powers Of Tens (click <---), 展示了宇宙在不同尺度上迥异的面貌, 观众得试着去思考很多画面,如果人类在宇宙有多么的渺小。从最原先的放大再放大到永无镜头的太阳系,之后逐渐以两分钟相隔减小到最原始的虚无。。。真是令人好奇当时的科技如何做到如此的镜头呢,不过要是不太懂得欣赏十的次方的话,就会觉得有点耐人寻味了。


家具展示厅里的摆设很炫,每张椅子都是设计师的心血,当然市面上的价钱也很昂贵,一张可以高达新币七千。相信就只有懂得欣赏艺术的有钱人才负担得起吧,要好好享受这些感觉,就不要错过后排让人试坐的椅子了,充分好好体验。


那实在是很不错的地方,我们发现了很前卫又很精美的海报设计,真是很难得的机会吸收艺术的气息。花更多的时间去了解当中的讯息是值得的,这些海报设计作品有趣之处就是字体设计和大胆使用对比的颜色。


很多外国的设计师都很喜欢这类美感的海报设计,只要能够表达,无论是简约风格还是过于复杂的设计,而能够让你停下来欣赏眼前的海报他们就成功了,那是因为创造让人印象深刻的视觉,感觉就是里头很有强大的概念。


除了展览厅里的大师作品,那里还为参观者提供了小小的创作室,你可以使用那里的美术材料:冰淇淋枝条,棉布,饰物,橡皮都是美术爱好者的至爱,然后加以自己喜欢的主题去创作,制造属于自己的小小家具。


欣赏完毕之后,不妨前往最后的纪念品销售店去看看精致的纪念商品和LOMO摄影器具。那里不仅有卖明信片和海报的精品,就连Powers Of Tens 的Flip book也有。



设计师的生涯的确很有挑战,每样设计师作品的完成过程都有自己的故事,用创意构思把最好的作品呈现,尤其是产品设计师所设计的产品更是为人类带来方便。最后就以大师的名言来作个句号,就好像那里某墙上的说明,“它们表达出隐藏在其他作品背后的一些哲学。面对一张海报,他们的设计态度跟面对家具时一样的,设计是为了因应需求”。



“The role of a designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” – Charles Eames.
