Glitch shortlisted for ADA 2023

by admin

Prestige, Publications & News

Excited to be among the shortlisted for the ADA 2023 (Archiproducts Design Awards! The inspiration for this design emanated from triple-medallion Ghashgha’i Gabbehs.‎ Here, the three-medallion and simple all-round border design have been ‘glitched’.‎ The colours are traditional Gabbeh colours accentuated with a contemporary on-trend touch.‎ The upshot is a Gabbeh for the 21st century, that has the mystical aura of traditional gabbehs and exudes light.‎ The term “glitch” itself originates with engineers and astronauts to explain faults within the technology they were working with.‎ But the visual aesthetic can be traced much further back, to the beginning of the 20th century through distorted forms in cubist paintings, abstract short films and pixel-like rug designs akin to 8-bit...

Glitch, Fusion of Gabbeh and Glitch Art

by admin

Visual

T he inspiration for this latest collection, designed for Zollanvari International, is an ingenious fusion of traditional Gabbeh iconography and Glitch art – a visual style characterized by using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes, whether that be intentional (that is, “faking glitch” and obtaining a similar aesthetic through design) or by accident (a true manifestation inside of the system without human intervention). The term ‘glitch’ itself originates with engineers and astronauts explaining faults within the technology they were working with. But the visual aesthetic can be traced much further back, to the beginning of the 20th century through distorted forms in cubist paintings, abstract short films, and pixel-like rug designs akin to 8-bit video...
