Interview with Ilana Seleznev at Monday 20th of May 2019

FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
IS: The main idea behind the design was the method. The inspiration is the Mathematics. In my opinion, creative and innovative development and design should be based on clear tools and formulas, in other words, working systematically and in patterns.

FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
IS: I what achieve systematic work. I want to prove my methodology - “the math of design”, that based on " thinking and working inside the box". I think that is makes it more effective and useful to create innovative ideas. Instead of being pressured by finding the next best thing and racking our brains on thinking outside of box, we can apply the same methods and patterns-just like mathematics. Using simple math-like tools, we can create innovative and extraordinary products in a fast and efficient way.Looking deeper in our daily environment and surroundings in a methodological way can enlighten us and open new ways of thinking and using materials we have never thought of before.
