Vlad Mititelu ("VM") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Jazz Shower. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
VM : I was inspired by the idea of creating an experience for the user: by keeping a musical instrument right at the core of my design I believe that I succeed my goal.
VM : The main focus was keeping a trumpet shape for the shower.
VM : Reaching a broad audience who is inspired by my designs.
VM : This particular project took me about seven months to be developed and one month to build it.
VM : I felt inspired by an extra-sensorial experience and I wanted to convert it into a real object.
VM : I am not sure about mass production in this particular design and still I am opened to production proposals.
VM : Mostly, this type of works characterise me as a designer.
VM : People who identify themselves with this type of design and feel that my product reflects their own life style.
VM : I think almost every aespect of this particular design sets it apart from other products. Its unique shape, the copper wire finish, the inspiring disjuncture between its form and the actual function.
VM : The name of this design relates to a particular genre of music that inspired me to create it. Moreover, the trumpet is a symbol for this music genre.
VM : The shape and the surface finish.
VM : During this project I have colaborated with plumbers who helped me develop the technical mechanism.
VM : Research of key features in art and design.
VM : To convert the shape of an actual music instrument into a usable shower, to oversize and rethink its shape so it can function properly and intuitively even in limited spaces.
