Maziar Raein is Head of MA Design at the Oslo Academy of Arts and is constantly perplexed as to why design is not better than it is. He is willing to be challenged, surprised, astounded, stunned, astonished… by anything new that is going to make the world a better place to live in.
He once read that, before Roger Bannister ran the four minute mile, very few people thought it was possible to achieve this. Now many many people are able to do this. Why is that?
He has no heros, but his Patron Saints are:
Geoff Fowle
John Wood
Sebastian Campos
GTF
& many more (to come)
Since the first time I met him, he is great!
He used to be my teacher at Central Saint Martins (and so did Geoff Fowle and GTF, a place which have influensed my way of thinking and working. Thanks Maziar and please send me an email to keep in contact…
