Inspiration

Inspiration can strike at any time, sometimes as a thunderbolt from above, but more often as a wave of gradual realisation that stimulates and motivates a business to travel along a new road. 

If we approach every day with an open mind and invite the unplanned and chance encounter, exploiting the flash of inspiration through the application of vision, innovation, strong design and leadership, it can deliver real rewards in the future.

 

Kerry O’Connor

“My inspiration is gathered from nature, mainly orchids. I first sketch the flowers and then transform the drawing by highlighting positive and negative space… before creating forms in porcelain or silver.”

 

Fanniann

“I draw inspiration from my love of the 1940s and old films. The romance of strong beautiful women wearing tailored suits. There was always a strong emphasis on integrity, quality & style”.

 

Iestyn Davis incorporating Adrian Mulle

“The inspiration was a meeting of kit cars, ultrasound, a complex microchip and the way ripples form in a pond, then the process of translating this into a product design affected by speed and colour.  The Made Together Award sponsored by NetInfinity was the carrot, in the metaphorical sense, to tempt us into collaborating to create a product that took us both out of our comfort zone.”
