…my history with De Stijl
I created a concept for a De Stijl vacuum cleaner i when i was in DAAP. It was this concept that was of most interest when I was interviewing at Cranbrook. This idea resurfaced when I created a De Stijl Citibank user interface concept for Virtual Studio based on De Stijl.
FYI – Virtual Studio later became frog design Austin.
