| DESIGN NAME: Minimals PRIMARY FUNCTION: Toys INSPIRATION: I created the first version of Minimals in 2008 while I was studying in Berlin. Those were difficult times for me as I had no money to pay the rent, so I thought a solution could be to sell drawings of cute animals in Mauerpark. I didn not have great results but I found something special about these silly creatures. Afterwards, When I came back to Peru I felt I was ready to create a complete toy set based on them. Last year, my partner Claudia Hermosilla and I recreated a whole universe of Minimals with false product lines in deutsch, posters, magnets and other merchandising as if they were manufactured by a german industry. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Minimals are an adorable line of modular animals characterized by the use of primary color palette and geometric shapes. The name derives, at a time, from the word "Minimalism&quo OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: These animals can be built by anybody using modules like Herr Bytes mouth. It has matching teeth with a cylindrical shape located in a symmetric disposition. This part of crocodile's mouth has also the shape of a skateboard that can be used by itself or any other Minimal. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in August 2008 in Berlin-Germany and was continued in Lima-Peru. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Toys, Games and Hobby Products Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Wood and paint duco. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Herr Bytes (crocodile) 200 x 320 x 330 Frau Gramm (chicken) 170 x 200 x 330 Frau Meter (giraffe) 156 x 192 x 590 Herr Sekunde (frog) 216 x 168 x 192 Herr Stunde (gorilla) 230 x 300 x 300 Herr Jahr (baby bear) 180 x 180 x 280 TAGS: Minimals, minimal, animal, family, collection, modular, cute, design, german RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main research I have made has been a market study. Since the beginning, I have observed the reaction of people to each Minimal, I mean, which of them are the most popular and why, so I could improve the others more and more. I have to say all the Minimals have had substantial modifications from their original design. CHALLENGE: The creative challenge was to make one unique modular code that would be recognizable in each separate piece, even when each had different characteristics depending on the animal they represented.
