James Shaw lavora la plastica riciclata post-consumo utilizzando attrezzi autocostruiti sin dal 2013. Il risultato, da egli chiamato Plastic Baroque, ha una forma molto organica e materica, e fa spesso riferimento a opere d'arte sette e ottocentesche. James Shaw is a designer and a maker exploring the material landscape in a hands on way. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Art's Design Products programme and now runs a studio in London working on projects that interrogate the material, systemic and formal approaches to the creation of objects. Frequently his work considers the resources around us challenging the notion of ‘waste’ to create new beautiful materials. Waste plastic has been a key theme of his work both through his ongoing Plastic Baroque project and notably in the exhibition Plastic Scene he co- curated with Laura Housely in 2018, which was named ‘the standout show of LDF’ by the New York Times. James has exhibited internationally including at The Design Museum, The V&A, Boijmans van Beuningen Museum and MOMA. Past awards include being nominated for the Design Museum Designs of the Year Award and winning the Arc Chair Design Award. His work is in the permanent collections of MoMA, The Montreal Museum of Art, The Museum of London and the Vitra Design Museum among others. Why Milano: For why I chose to take part in this project - At a time like this I think we all feel like we want to be doing our bit to help, Milan has been very good to the design community and so I am happy to try and give something back! SEEDS gallery: When I received the email by my dear friend Annalisa Rosso I decided to participate in the auction as it is a cause they touches us all and anything we can do to help is valuable.
