Synopsis
Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the San Jose Museum in March 2005, Blobjects and Beyond is a survey and critical review of new designs in all categories, which celebrate and explore amorphic, organic, protoplasmic, and other 'blobby' forms. From the famed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to Karim Rashid's housewares and furniture, to the iMac, blobjects are not faddish items, they are the direction that products have been going in for more than a decade, and represent the future of design. Driven by the escalating creative power of software and the exponentially decreasing cost of hardware, advances in modeling technology and new abilities to mold and form plastics of myriad types, the blobject is enjoying a worldwide explosion. Featuring examples of industrial design, architecture, graphic design, digital media, furniture, and fashion design from the last 15 years, the book and exhibition focus on widely available consumer products, but also include limited-production goods, individually crafted and customized pieces, one-of-a-kind conceptual projects, and examples of fine art that straddle the line between art and design.
