Architectural Elements in Cufflink Design Add Refinement and Stability
Author: Patrick McMurray  | Posted: 15-03-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 67 | Rating: (62)  (?) 
And what are the key elements of good design, Form, Function, Build ability, Economics and longevity. Contained with in these elements is mathematical correctness. We respond to the greater environment in relation to our own human scale. Architects still use them today, a gift from the ancient Greek and Roman architects; The Golden Rules.
This applies to all design disciplines, from designing a simple pair of cufflinks to a carriageway, a suspension bridge to a silk tie; form follows function, so what’s more important?
Finding designers in any in any discipline that adhere, diligently, to these key elements are thin on the ground
An Architect Driven By Principles
Frank Lloyd Wright, the father of modern architecture applied his genius to The Falling Water House, perfect in proportion and modern in any era. And yet it was built more than 70 years ago. His work in the late 18th century paved the way to The Art Deco style, which began to take shape around 1920. He was decades ahead of his time, it’s well documented.
An Engineer Driven By Steam And Steel
Isambard Brunell the greatest structural engineer in living memory. The Clifton suspension Bridge is testimony of his ability to create a structure that performed a vital function poetically. Not even the Golden Gate and Sydney Harbour hold a candle to it, especially in the wind.
His earlier steam trains travelled fully laden at 50 miles per hour, that’s half the speed of The Flying Scotsman, without a kilt. He designed and had built a steam ship that carried one million emigrants to Australia. Now they’re all coming back on Jumbo Jets.
And Some Fashion Designers
Vivienne Westwood, driven by an endless creative imagination, has been applying key design principles proportionately to all her collections. Combining colour, pattern, texture, proportionately, has become the trademark of all her design work, from crockery to clothing. The Orb is now an internationally recognised brand symbol, with a difference.
Ian Flaherty: A hands-on designer, toiling in his London studios every day, has produced some fine pieces of work over many years. But it’s the Swarovski Cube Cufflinks that are synonymous with his name. Perfect in proportion at every angle and never once fail to perform their intended function
Remember, every significant movement in art can be traced through the design of cufflinks. Jewellers like Cartier and Tiffany crafted work of art cufflinks in mother of pearl, crystal; precious stones...These famous fashion names establish designer cufflinks as the essential accessory for men, but don’t forget your silk ties, otherwise the doorman may not let you into the club-house.
Lbb London
They typify contemporary accessories design, choosing classical influences to buck the whimsical trends of today. Their metal cufflinks are unique in their own right and visually conform to all the key elements of design and I guess that’s why they have sold consistently well over the years.
And Denison Boston
Based in Brighton, which was, once upon a time the holiday capitol of England? Perhaps the pier lights in the harbour gave him early inspiration; I guess every thing is open to interpretation. One thing is for certain, this designer knows the meaning of form and function; his cufflinks are testimony enough; ask any architect?
Some Historic Anecdotes to Share with Your Friends: 1969 Nutters of Savile Row opens on Valentine's Day and unleashes the Tommy Nutter/Edward Sexton style on swinging London. Backed by Cilla Black and The Beatles' record company Apple's executive Peter Brown, Nutters of Savile Row dresses the entire social spectrum from the Duke of Bedford and Lord Montagu to Mick and Bianca Jagger and The Beatles. Nutters is the first shop on Savile Row to pioneer 'open windows' and wild displays executed by Simon Doonan.
Conclusion

I have a question for the Ladies
By: gdhiggy | 29-09-2008
I have a question for the ladies. My girlfriend has this thing about us wearing matching sandals when we go out. What do you think about this? Sometimes we get people staring at our feet. Last week she started to push the envelope a bit when she wanted to paint my toe nails to match hers ( a bright red ). We are both in our early 30's and have been a couple for almost 3 years. I really would like some honest comments. Thanks Greg
