Colani,
with his creativity and entirely novel approach for perfect and practical
design of appliances and devices, even mundane objects, as well as complete
industrial designs in terms of ergonomics, aerodynamics and functionalities,
is a great designer of international renown well ahead of his time.
Yet, in his modesty, he sees himself merely as a interpreter of Nature.
Colani is closely observing Nature where development over aeons has produced
uncountable wonders of perfection and beauty, and he further analyzes, adapts,
adjusts and implements. The results, naming only a few, speak for themselves: |
