"off the grid" was inspired by Barney's brilliant Denim Delight. i highly recommend visiting this "3-D" magazine online. the interaction and animation are beyond inspiring. images from the Denim Delight are included in these mood boards.
i already had the grid images for some time now, and wanted to pull together very 80's inspired Mannequin (the movie) meets Nagel meets modern imaging series. when i visited Denim Delight today...the concept instantly gelled in my mind.
the key with street style is to mash up unexpected elements. by pulling inspiration from the 80's, i complemented this series with the Murakmai Putipanda. i think of Murakami from the (late) 90's because that is when i fell in love with his work. by bringing together these two unexpected, but complementary inspirations...the trend grows fresh and relevant. Murakami's organic (borderline psychedelic) lines juxtaposed with 80's angular is a fresh mix.
long time readers of DESIGN SEEDS know my love for Nixon watches...a perfect fit for "off the grid." a indisputably modern design anchored with an 80's nostalgic swell. only Nixon can make digital inspired watches look so futuristic so well.
the title for this series is also a play on the obvious 80's grid inspiration...mixed with what in modern day "off the grid" means as a value for today's consumer the "radicle." for more information on the radicle, there is information on the MACROSEEDS & MACROSEEDS blog for dimensionalized insights.
