Blurring the boundaries between art, architecture and material science, transmuting structures into sensual forms that touch us deeply from within, Ross Lovegrove's work shows a masterly ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. There are parallels here with contemporary artists and with the specific power of materials expressed without boundaries, as one would see in the work of British sculptors Anish Kapoor, Tony Cragg or Rachel Whiteread. An emerging infinity from scale and endless expression from a single, highly concentrated source code. The uniqueness that one usually...

The main ambition within the research and work of Lovegrove Studio is the examination of nature, its models, systems and energy transactions. By promoting key phrases such as 'organic essentialism', Lovegrove Studio intends to bring awareness and understanding of those systems and their current impact. Therefore, designs within the studio are process-driven and aim to reveal underlying blueprints and explore new material behaviours rather than literally translating appearances found in nature into design. Contemporary digital design methods such as parametric models, computational designs,...

A contemporary concept of nature sees nature as not distinguished from the artifice. Going away from the division of natural versus artificial, design becomes catalytic agency in a process of amplifying found conditions and synthesising new ones. Matter acquires active agency instead of being treated as a passive design ingredient. Through the recent computational simulations, it is becoming possible to access behavioral tendencies of matter at a finer grain. Discoveries in material science can now be incorporated into increased resolution material speculations in design, opening doors for...
