“The most interesting discoveries happen in the spaces—where art whispers to craft and design listens to both”
Curiosity Built
My work, characterized by my ongoing exploration with use, form and expression can be summed up as "abstraction in function" wrapped in celebration.
Playfulness and the unexpected have been anchors throughout my life journey. As a designer, artist, and citizen at large, I firmly believe that pragmatic thinking and solutions only go so far. I know through observation, practical knowledge and experience, that the "Je ne sais quo", the surprise, the giggle—the shear wonder and joy that we all nurture and incorporate in our daily lives, is what is most meaningful, precious and counts.
To that end, whether a commercial application or product to the one-off commission, I work and create with the intent in discovering the surprise and in harnessing its varied outcomes, intentionally wrapped within beauty and character.
ZOOHAUS ?
Zoohaus is a label of Giles Runeckles Design and represents my interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersections within art & design. This site highlights some of the tangible outcomes of this inquiry, and I'm thrilled to showcase the journey and look forward to adding and sharing more exciting results with you as they unfold.
