BONNY CARRERA
The Self-Taught Designer Blending Organic and Pop Art Styles
When it comes to 3D design, Bonny Carrera is a name that is quickly becoming synonymous with innovation, creativity, and style. This Berlin-based designer has been capturing the attention of design enthusiasts around the world with his unique blend of organic and pop art styles, resulting in furniture that is both functional and artistic. Carrera's journey into design began with his fascination for 3D illustrations on advertising posters. With self-denial and a lot of hard work, he taught himself how to use programs like Cinema 4D, Redshift, and Photoshop through tutorials on YouTube. And his dedication has certainly paid off.
Using the midjourney tool, which works on the principle of generative adversarial models (GAN), Carrera creates furniture graphics based on textual descriptions. The program consists of two neural networks - a generator and a discriminator - and allows the user to select a category of images and set parameters such as resolution, style, and colors. The result is furniture that is not only comfortable but also a work of art, with designs that include organic shapes inspired by nature, coral reefs, candy, clouds, hairstyles, feathers, and more.
For Carrera, the inspiration behind his organic designs is the beauty of form. He believes that all people instinctively feel that organic designs are correct, and his designs bring together the two seemingly contrasting styles of organic and pop art. Pop art originated in the 1950s and was intended to symbolize a rebellion against high art and the establishment of a dialogue between art and the mundane of everyday life. Pop art furniture was based on bright colors and unusual patterns, which made it possible to create an incredible dynamic in the interior.
Carrera's pop art designs are all about colors and uncommon forms, and he blends them seamlessly with organic styles, resulting in furniture that is both striking and timeless. The artist takes his subject matter literally, resulting in designs such as the sofa in an underwater world inspired by a coral reef. The colors in this sofa can be perceived in two ways, as inspiration from the natural, rather intense colors of the coral reef, or as part of a pop art style.
In a world increasingly moving away from nature, Carrera's designs offer a much-needed respite, creating home-friendly interiors that offer a sense of calm and relaxation. His designs are not just leisure furniture, but sculptures that add a dynamic touch to any interior. Bonny Carrera's work has been compared to the humanist modernism concept of architecture and design, which derives a building's form from surrounding nature and even becomes part of it. Carrera's designs, while contemporary, are also inspired by the organic shapes found in nature, creating a unique blend of old and new.
With his unique style and dedication to his craft, Bonny Carrera is a designer to watch in the world of 3D design. His furniture designs are a testament to the power of blending seemingly contrasting styles, resulting in furniture that is both functional and artistic, and adds a dynamic touch to any interior.
