21 RISING STARS FOR 2021
DESIGN
01 JIANI ZENG & HONGHAO DENG
MIT and Harvard University, Cambridge, USA
This US-based Chinese duo use lenticular 3D-printing to create dynamic colour and texture in design objects. ‘Our designs consist of two basic layers: a top layer of lenticular lenses, and a base layer of colours or patterns. The technique can be used to create a variety of 3D designs, such as shifting patterns, interactive written content, and even touch-sensitive visual effects,’ they say. Dream collaborators: Norman Foster; Tokujin Yoshioka. @jianizeng; @honghao_deng
02 CÉLESTINE PEUCHOT
Design Academy Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Peuchot’s project, ‘Inert Domestic System’, explores the idea of what would happen if our machines and production systems stopped – a far-fetched scenario made more plausible by the pandemic, which has exposed the fragility of our manufacturing supply chains.
