Luis Porem; Industrial and Furniture Designer – The Trico Chair


Following my earlier post on the RGB glasses, I have been in contact with design Luis Porem and have some more of his impressive work to show,

In particular Porem’s newest addition to his already impressive folio, the Trico Chair

Wood, metal and textile, in three different colours, are the caracteristic that lift the Trico Chair. Joining the three materials it is possible to get a distinguishable simplicity and harmony.
The fact of being able of pile the chair and work with different materials make the Trico chair a functional, versatile object, with is own character.

DT: Tell us a little about yourself, where are you from and where are you living now?

LP: I’ve born in Lisbon and raised in a valley called Alenquer. After finishing the University, were I’ve study industrial and interior design, I’ve moved to Barcelona, were I’ve started working in Estudio Mariscal for an year and a half. After that I’ve started making my own projects. I’ve collaborated also for a project with Martin Ruiz de Azúa.

DT: What other designers influence you? Do you have an idol?

LP: There’s a lot of designers that I admire like Achille Castiglioni, Enzo Mari, Charles and Ray Eames, Bouroullec brothers, Konstantin Grcic, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Javier Mariscal, and many others. Idols I don’t have none. I try to learn from everything, search design not only in other’s works.

DT: Are you professionally trained or were you self taught?

LP: I’ve study at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, in the course of Industrial and Interior design.

DT: What are you working on at the moment?

LP: At this moment I’m more in a period of research for new projects I want to do. It’s an important moment because I like to be convinced of what I’m doing. I try to justify everything I do to myself.

6

 

DT: What are your other interests beside design?

LP: I like a lot of cinema and music. Also doing other projects more related to art. More conceptual, explore the creativity in other ways.

7

 

DT: What is your favourite design to date?

LP: Theres a couple of objects that I like a lot. One is the Panton Chair of Verner Panton, or the Plastic Side Chair DSW from Charles & Ray Eames, the Mayday and the Chair One from Konstantin Grcic…well, the list is large.

9

 

DT: What’s the best and worst parts of being a full time, working designer?

LP: The best thing of being a designer is to be able to create and explore your creativity. Design objects that can improve the life of the users.

The worst thing is the difficult that exist on giving life to the creation.

 

DT: Any advice to up and coming artists/designers?

LP: To believe in the work they do, and make the best they can in everything they do. That’s the best attitude to have in relation with all areas.

  36. Adult education learning is something that you ought
    to try if you are thinking of reviving your career or
    going through the career ladder a notch higher. For folks who have graduated from school a long
    time ago, you should never feel that age
    matters when it comes to going back to school. This is also
    a good opportunity for those who may not have had the chance to finish college
    on time.

    Various factors may take its toll on someone’s
    education at one point in time. Usually it’s about the financial capacity.

    A medical condition might have previously prevented you too from finishing your degree.
    Family issues might also be a reason yet adult education does not really take these
    things as important anymore. It doesn’t matter which career you would
    like to pursue so long as you are willing and resolved to finally get the diploma you’ve always
    wanted.

    Preparing for Re-Skills Training

    If it’s been years since you last entered school, there are a few important things to
    keep in mind so that you can prepare yourself. First, you must clearly define your goals.
    What do you intend to do and how do you think entering school will help you?

    Being goal-oriented will also help you cope in school because you
    are going to go through a series of school works and examinations which would all take its toll
    on you.

    Another important thing to have as a trait is the ability to take directions.

    If you have been used to having your own way, that’s going to be challenged once you re-enter school.
    You have to follow the rules and regulations implemented by the learning institution as
    well as your teacher within the classroom.

    Thirdly, you should also be able to take in constructive criticism.
    Your fellow classmates and your instructor would not always agree with your ideas.
    Sometimes, the way you do things will be questioned.
    You should also learn not to be too hard on yourself and let
    yourself learn things while still managing to enjoy the fact that you are back in school.

    Benefits of Taking Adult Education Courses

    There are many good reasons why you should take some adult education courses if you can. Among
    the main ones is that you can finally boost your skills level.
    What’s even better is that these courses are flexible enough to fit into your schedule so you can end up juggling work with school effectively.

    Also, adult courses are mostly done through distance learning modules.
    This way even stay-at-home folks would have no problems with
    education because they no longer have to leave home
    just to attend a class. This is also perfect for
    those who are always on the go. In the end you can manage to learn at your
    own pace in the environment that’s most suitable for you.

    Despite its flexibility in schedule, most adult courses are still comparably cheaper
    compared with traditional classes. Some schools even offer their students the ability to adjust the number of hours that they
    can fill in for class. Most distance learning courses still
    offer some consultation days wherein the students are going to meet in a typical classroom setup.

    There are many different institutions these days that offer adult education learning.
    In fact, almost every school within cities are capable of doing this.
    The only thing you need to consider is the course that you will be taking and how
    you are going to be able to maximize it after you have totally graduated from the course.

    Some also offer special scholarship programs which you might also
    want to get into.
