kreo in motion

‘kreo in motion’ is a series of short films re-imagining pieces of the gallery through the eye of talented motion designers and animators! Every month a series of 3 animations will be posted at regular intervals. Each series will be dedicated to the creative practice of a different motion designer - blank canvas to …

SDOOW4L Desk by Marco Serraca

In this first animation, Marco Serraca sets Jasper Morrison’s ‘SDOOW4L’ desk against an atmospheric nude background, drawing attention to the piece’s simple construction and polished contours.

3-legged stool by Jens Mennicke

In Jens Mennicke’s third and final kreo in motion animation, Jasper Morrison’s emblematic stool forms from flowing drops of metallic liquid, into a solid three-legged structure. Morrison’s piece, materialising the archetypal form of the stool, is an exercise in simplicity. With ingenious mirror plays and rhythmic tones, Mennicke’s brings light to its essential design, deconstructing and constructing it in turn.
