Peter Rankin Design

Tweet

Born into an artistic family in 1962 Peter Rankin has been designing since childhood… His timeless emotive work blurs traditional boundaries between art and practicality, reinventing everyday objects as elegant minimalist sculptures.  Past and present projects encompass architecture and interiors, furniture, lighting and electrical products, homewares, transport, clothing, sports and luxury goods, brand and corporate identity work, design psychology, and even a royal yacht.  His designs have featured on the front covers of the international design press and his Saturn+Moon Radiators (available in the UK through e-BerkeleyShop.com) won a Best Design award in Italy.  Intra magazine reviewed his work saying “The link between art and design is rarely encapsulated so neatly”, whilst elsewhere the press have compared his designs with Philippe Starck and sculptor Henry Moore.  Whilst the majority of peterrankindesign.com’s work in the past has comprised confidential design consultancy for international brands, industry and some well-known inventors, Peter has recently begun to design and release products under his own name for manufacturers, particularly in Italy where he often appears in the design press and on television during Milan design week  Latest releases include Blade and Ghibli radiators (Blade being shortlisted for Italy’s Grandesign prize and both again available through the e-BerkeleyShop.com), a series of rugs for a high-end designer collection in Milan, and several corporate identity projects for a client in the Middle East, whilst a highly original new kitchen concept is being developed in Italy for a 2010 release and discussions are also underway on something rather exciting for the London 2012 Olympics.
