Doodles and sketches





A sketch or a doodle is just a way to secure a transient idea, creating a dialogue between hand and mind that enables you to process information and problem solve. It is not high art, it can be on the back or a cigarette packet, it is the fact that you have trapped that thought on a piece of paper that is important.
These are some doodlings that illustrate Nacho Carbonell's website.
If you do not think that doodling is worth while, then I urge you to watch this TED lecture by Sunni Brown .

Nacho Carbonell, Dream of Sand

"Using sand as my design tool, I created a series of outdoor benches, made of sand and coated with rubber. The idea is to create these pieces of furniture on the spot, giving them the characteristics of the environment where they are built, in this way being able to integrate them into their surroundings, event to create extensions for already existing structures. The technique of shaping these benches is very similar to making a sand castle, with the difference that once I reach the desired shape I contain it by coating it with rubber. This allows for flexibility and comfort. The shape will change with use but it's function will remain." Nacho Carbonell

Nacho Carbonell, Evolution Series

"I like to see objects as living organisms, imagining them coming alive and being able to surprise you with their behaviour. I want to create objects with my hands, then I can give them my personality. I turn them into communicative objects that can arouse one's sensations and imagination. In short, what I want to create are objects with a fictional or fantasy element, that allow you to escape everyday life." Nacho Carbonell
The 'Evolution' series is constructed from paper paste and iron frame, providing refuge caves or pods, for escape and privacy.
