Breaking Away With Style

A thought; an idea; a concept - that's all it takes for a designer to create something that will change your perception of beauty forever.

As my comrades and I graduated from what I'm sure we once thought would be a very definitive path in life, many instead explored routes in the design field that were indeed molded by our time spent at Architecture School.  Miss Cyrena Forbes has had the arms of jewelry design grab and reel her in, while Mr. Lionel Spence has dipped his feet into the pool of furniture design.  Both of these artists have used their strengths in the field of Architecture to delve into a particular area of interest.

Forbes has used her strength in design to create artistic explosions of colour, style, and vogue.  She's storming the fashion scene in Jamaica with her amazing copper, feather, and bead accessories and has added her own exotic flavour to the already chic nature of the island's fashion scene.  Her tiny masterpieces are proof that 'architecture' can be found anywhere - even in what we wear.

Spence on the other hand, has taken his experience in the architectural field and applied it with great consistency to his furniture designs.  What I particular like about Lionel's figures are the sleek and very elegant curves that he uses to soften very linear forms, while the sharp angles in others add sophistication to an otherwise relaxed setting.

It is no doubt that these two individuals are protege's of style and class.
