x-crib

Posted: February 12th, 2007 | Author: | Filed under: Designlines | Comments Off

As a practicing designer and artist, my studio work changes and evolves alongside the ones that life presents me. Since Jenn and I are expecting our first baby in May, I’ve been thinking alot about our first newborn, environmental design, and design’s influence on all of us- beginning the moment we are born. As an expecting father, and now a potential consumer of many baby products, I have become keenly aware of limited options for expecting parents to find good creative design.

In response, I have developed a new concept called: x-crib.
Inspired by the many man-made boundaries that limit and restrain us in life, x-crib takes a humorous approach to confining and protecting our children from harm. Taking visual cues from livestock, and barbed wire fences, the x-shaped motif visually encourages our young to stay in the crib. Using sex-neutral colors, the design is intended for girls and boys.

Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
