Convergence by Ross Lovegrove; Marie-Ange BrayerRoss Lovegrove is an internationally renowned designer and visionary, whose works are celebrated as the new aesthetic expression of the twenty-first century. His industrial design is inspired by the logic and beauty of nature. It connects technology and innovative production methods with new materials and an intelligent, organic vocabulary of forms, in an inimitable way. Despite all of the imaginativeness and pleasure in experimentation revealed in his body of work, he considers himself a thinker whose interest is not in the pretentious, but in the development of sensible, useful things. At the heart of this monograph, therefore, is a lasting combination of high standards and creativity, design and nature, and the latest technologies from the fields of physics, biology, anthropology, and ecology.

Lovegrove's work includes a vast range of products - from minimalist furniture to incredibly high-tech products, from water bottles to airplane seats - and explores the possibility of realizing sculptural and organic shapes through modern technology and materials.
