Scarset Vincent, French Senior Product & Graphic Designer, graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 1998, Engineering Degree in Ceramic Product design at ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres PARIS 15eme in France in 2002, working as Product and Graphic Designer in Hong Kong since 2003.
Design Philosophy
I believe that a design needs to find it’s simplest and most efficient form, both on the aesthetic and manufacturing fronts.
Keen on the proposal that form follows function, I as well try to achieve the MAYA principle created by Raymond Loewy. At an ealry stage of my carrier, in 2003, I suggested in a design manifesto that “if you want to walk on the ceiling, you’d want to build the house on its roof”, which was a natural evolution from my background in mechanical engineering to designing objects and images.
From this starting block, and having accumulated years of experience in various industries, these principals have proven to be a solid foundation, but they also have evolved to fit Graphic design, Interior design, Marketing, UI design, App programming and even Consulting.
I do believe that the success of a design isn’t only in the eye of its end users, but as well in the eye of it’s commissioner, it’s manufacturer, it’s transporters and it’s retailers. To reach the essence of a concept and to produce and distribute its output in it’s most efficient form, is in my opinion the key to a long lasting and economically viable design.
