Collection 2 - Culture & Capital(ism) from notNeutral: If culture and capital are two of the
products that define a successful society,
what happens when they are used
as preconceived notions, planned
into a city rather than spontaneously
resulting from the natural course of
a city’s development over time? That
is, how does a capital investment in
manufacturing culture impact city
form? These porcelain plates measure 12” across, with each city’s downtown core printed on a black background. Key buildings are represented with red icons, while rivers and public spaces are shown in vivid blue and green. The plates’ designs portray a bold, graphic representation of four distinctly fascinating cities. notNeutral Bio: Rios Clementi Hale Studios won a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects California Council for its work on that child-care center, and thanks to notNeutral--its product-design wing--you can now have some of that very same stuff in your own house. The offerings from notNeutral are, as it says on the box, not neutral. Their bold, graphic look is excellent for anywhere you want to add some uncommon interest to your decorating, from the nursery to the living room to the dining room.
