Launched on the 10th of February, the first season of Abstract profiles eight designers representing different fields in the industry.
Along with Ingels, Devlin and Crawford from the fields of architecture, stage design and interior design respectively, there's graphic designer Paula Scher, automobile designer Ralph Gilles, Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, illustrator Christoph Niemann and photographer Platon.
Abstract offers an exciting and inspiring view into the minds and lives of a number of leading creatives, but perhaps most inspiring and exciting is that of Paula Scher, a world-renowned graphic designer and the first female partner at Pentagram. She gives insight into seeking inspiration, working away from your desk, and the sheer impact that graphic design has on the world.
Ralph Gilles, Head of Global Design at Fiat Chrysler, proves the importance of networking and contacting those who inspire you and those who can help you. At a young age his grandmother told him to send his spurious drawings of cars to Chrysler after seeing their CEO on an ad; a few weeks later he received a letter from the Assistant to the CEO, with advice on what design colleges to attend, and telling him that he has great potential.
