Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves of Studio Swine discuss their approach to design and the work they are currently undertaking as part of a residency at Brooklyn creative space A/D/O, in this movie produced by Dezeen for MINI.
The London-based duo – Japanese architect Murakami and British artist Groves – are currently working from the A/D/O design hub that was founded by MINI in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as part of its designer-in-residence programme.
The residency will culminate in an exhibition at the venue in January, featuring new works informed by the studio’s time spent in New York.
“We’ll be exploring the idea of how technology and ephemeral materials can synthesise,” Groves says in the video, which was shot by Dezeen at A/D/O. “We’re working with plasma, fog and light.”
Nate Pinsley, global managing director at A/D/O x MINI, says that the designer-in-residence programme is mutually beneficial for the venue and the visiting designers.
“ADO is a creative hub created by MINI that brings together people from all sorts of backgrounds and disciplines who are interested in exploring the future of design,” he says.
