Originally a model-maker in the film industry, Jim went on to design an innovative cat-food bowl, now available throughout Europe. More recently Jim completed a Master’s degree in Industrial Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, part of London’s University of the Arts. The Master’s degree culminated in a range of products that can stimulate insight into a couple’s personal relationship, called the ‘Blindspot’ range. Each piece is a tool with which to experiment into an aspect of a human relationship. Like most of his work, the ‘Blindspot’ range holds elements of humour. Through extensive research into inter-personal relationships and social culture, he analyses the potential of using products as tools to understand relationships better and also believes that understanding relationships is an intense process which can be effectively conducted if the method involves an approach which is fun based. ‘Blindspot’ is a crossover between interaction and commentary design. It invites the user to identify the potential for greater communication with the partner, often by alternative methods to talking. ‘Blindspot’ are one off products, created to experiment, ask questions and raise awareness. Materials are primarily glass, crafted by one of London’s few lamp-workers. Price range: £9.99 - £1,600 Click here to buy work by Jim Rokos from the Hidden Art E-Shop |
