1:1

DESIGN: Silva Lovasova

make me! 2014

“1:1” is an experimental collection of straightforward blown-ups of grotesque miniatures. It deliberately manipulates the provocative kitsch and suggests contemporary possibilities of digital technologies in design. The miniatures found in various dolls’ houses are influenced by the real items of the grown ups’ world. However, they are sadly misshapen and disproportional. After scanning the pieces designer decided to completely avoid altering, improving and prettifying. She simply enlarged them to functional size, in which the whimsicality of mini-world is fully expressed. The collection is made of different materials – from prototyping to final ones. The tool path is untouched, as it holds emotional and aesthetic potential – in Silva Lovasova’s opinion it represents contemporary digital décor. Furthermore, all the other traits are preserved, as a way of describing the making process.
