mantis chair - wildetect design project

I had very, very disappointing news late last week, which has put me into a complete tail spin. When this happens which is not often thankfully - Ones only means of coping really is to express ones emotions through art and design - I believe doing creative ventures stave's off depression, My black dog. You see when one focuses on something and can show a creative end product - This forces the mind on a track away from self and onto other things.

The little pray mantis's which visit my studio from time to time gave me this idea. One of the little chaps landed on my computer whilst i was in a doldrums frame of mind. Sitting staring at the little critter i decided to see if i could conceptualise a piece of furniture from the visible drama. So i thought it would be great to create a mantis type chair with this little earth passenger in mind.

Behold the wildetect mantis chair. -
Many folk have asked me why i put my work and ideas on the net for all to copy. The wildetect way of creative design is so "shot left" - That if anyone does decide to copy them and take full credit for my work - They will find they are only furthering these wildetect ideals - As these ideas encompass an Africa fauvists design style ideal and don't really hold up in isolation.

Design wild is a process of mindful sanitation. 
You see when we can actualise sculptural living space from nature. Our urban environments will be practical and beautiful. When we try emulate the wisdom of our creator in our built environments. Im very sure we will be working ourselves free from all this static noise mental illness.
