Interview with Gholamali Balouch

I'm a freelancer.

Design is art of thinking and creating in a new way.

Every project is a challenge and resolving a problem is the most satisfying achievement.I like to be part of something beautiful,no matter if it's called design or something else.

The "juicy salif" by starck is my idol,for me it's the best presenting icon of design more than any other object.

I guess it was a logo for a medical center,when i was 17.

Rapid prototyping and virtual modeling are very interesting technological aspects in design and manufacturing.

Whenever I have the simple,innovative and different answer for a problem.

Aesthetic,functionality and feasibility are my fundamental approach to a design.

It's like serenity and self satisfied.

Feeling like giving birth to something and being responsible for what I have created.

Its uniqueness and the way it communicates and responds to a specific demand.

For me the right logic behind a design is the fundamental aspect but also a very small bad detail can easily ruins the whole thing.

Designer is like the scales,always has to weighing the achievements and the prices to be paid,keeping this narrow balance shall protect and reserve the environmental and social resources.

Design in future could be very democratic and flexible and widely expanded in everywhere.

It was a lighting exhibition when i was student and for the next one I have not decided yet.

Inspirations come from my consciousness and sometimes from my collective visual memory or sometimes just by accident.

I do not believe in style or classifications,all I try to do is to push the boundaries and to break free.

As a foreigner who lives in Italy,having the different backgrounds can help me to have different points of view and makes me feel more experienced.

Trough commissions or contracts.

Design contests can be very interesting for both sides,companies will receive many solutions and designers can promote themselves.

First of all understanding the problem then research and collecting informations to shape an idea that can brings the correct solution.

I have collected some famous designers small objects mostly from Alessi that inspire me sometimes.

It's an ordinary day as much as any one else's.

My motto is "think different"

Designer has a very busy and collective mind and this can avoid to feel free,but the positive part is the flexibility and creativity of designer.

The golden rule is :" there is no rule"

Understanding the problem,creative thinking and communicative skills.

The tools are not important too much,the way we use them is more important.every ordinary thing could become an extraordinary tool and a very expensive machine can be useless.

Just not to leave everything for the last minutes and set up some mile stones always saved me.

It could be from minutes to years,depends on complicity and tasks to be done.

"what is this?" or "how you made it?"

Every experience is important,I have always tried to learn.

Fashion and jewelery and small utility objects design are more exiting for me.

Next is coming without noticing me!

Sometimes it's a work group,but solo projects are most satisfying because I have more control and freedom.
