WILDETECTURE & QJD DESIGN STUDIO - 2011

-
QJD design studio was established in 1999 in cape town, Wildetecture design studio, est 2011. 

Both studios design new homes - however with the privilege of designing a home comes the excitement of designing furniture. this is a small sample of a few of the pieces that have made their way into a few homes around south africa. The Wildetecture studio is the studio i find myself most drawn to. Its a shared design space with 2 of the most incredibly gifted creative human beings ive ever met.

ive always mused as to why dining room tables and chairs are not designed as one integrated unified form. They are separate entities integrated aesthetically seperate. Designed to be visually independent. This is possibly due to space or cost. Additionally  huge wild  sculptures is not always possible in today's small homes. So endeavoring to create furniture that is both sculptural and functional has become an obsession of wildetect 3 of 3. As a designer one can only create from ones influence and from ones small life experience. So taking into consideration my Frisian roots and my absolute love affair with the African continent. A wildetect wild Norse longboat exploded off the sketch pad. The ribs are similar to the fish bone table designed before - however the viking sea horse dragon head adds another dimension. the shadow this piece casts is also interesting for me. The piece throws a distinctive scorpion shadow sculpture - this all adds  to ...

Manifesto of a wildetect creative.

Wildefurn wildetecture creative design ideals fits into the typical African artists wild ideas category,   The architectural designs and furniture wildetecture is exploring is a style of wild African fauvistic design.

This all endeavoring to water down ones initial creative design ideas to absolute dust, dirt and nothing. The end product is sadly always a chipped away collective design creative process. With many, many gritted teeth s...

Architecture furniture wildetecture style

Huge structural steel built design environment sculptural architectural lived in structures. This concept is not a new idea. Infact the technology to build these types of wild sculptural architectural structures has been around for awhile. What hasnt been around to accompany these skills is the vision to actualise such sculptures for human habitation. So wildetecture architectural design studio is using all manner of means of creative tools from old fashion sketch to drilling down deep into the AI algorythm. We look to further pure creative design thought to sculpt wild built environment landscapes that we would like to live in. If geometric grid big box, small box is your architectural design thing. Simply keep moving along, you will definetly not like what you see here. Perhaps an attack of the ol OCD will trip you on the way out. Hopefully not, to be honest, because part of a vision is the collabrative minds to lead us to a finalization of a conceptualised built end concept.  Wi...
