HTR.S
[HIGH TECHNO ROMANTIC SPECIMENS]

I looked back to our future as archeologist of contemporaneity, and from here I start developing a series of non electric and non environmental-friendly hybrids, celebrating their permanent future of our todays.
I disassembled our machines and recomposed them, re contextualise them in a series of technological parts unite by the same formal expression, the same aesthetic. I speculate through design, on the border between formal expression and functionality, developing a formal caricature of our past future, yelling on behalf of a sensual and romantic formal language.
Light49 - HTR.Specimen_01
This small prick is the smaller twin of "Rpm", he is the air version, the one who always fly around like an hysteric mosquito… just more silent and unforeseeable.


Ejecter - HTR.Specimen_02
Born from a passionate and forbidden relation, this kid become mature before time. He is robust and well grown, he can take the life on it's own. Never laughing, this guy learned to cruise through life without looking back, steping on the past like no one did before.


CeramicExhaust - HTR.Specimen_03
The invisible member of the family, the shy one, the sensible and sensitive, always dreaming, day dreaming, barely touching of something else, the one which nature understand his vibe, the spiritual one who was grown up by the physics.


Refiller - HTR.Specimen_04
The youngest of the family, always incite you to play, to pull the forbidden desired red button, to push his head squeaking up and down, to jump around, to kick his ass.


Rpm - HTR.Specimen_05
Not even his parents could ever stop him, the hyper child, the hyper character, hyper, meta, restless young prick.


HeavyHanger - HTR.Specimen_06
Born from a disgusting adventure due to the ugliness of utility, the day by day routine being his mother and the heavy weight loads his fathers.


AlphaHover - HTR.Specimen_07
The black sheep of the family which due to affiliation with functionality was almost expelled from the parental love.


The academic aim of the project was to fine tunne the boundary between functionality and aesthetic, playing with the point where aesthetic loose it's value of generating emotions due to functional involvements.
The creation process was really interesting, not designing the "specimens" one by one, but starting with "1", taking a part of it which became "2", adding another part to complete it and realise that I have a "3rd" one already. Creating the "4th" one and taking a part of it to complete the "1st" one... and so on until the 7th.
