O designer de produto inglês Sam Buxton quis inovar quando foi fazer seu cartão de visitas. Usando tecnologia da indústria eletrônica, ele fez um fino cartão de aço inoxidável que se desdobrava na imagem dele trabalhando no computador.

Depois, ele acabou criando várias situações para o personagem que ele chamou de MIKRO-man, salas, escritório e cenas super cheias de detalhes a partir de uma única placa de aço, e que virou o MIKRO-world!

O designer gosta mesmo de experimentar com a tecnologia, como na mesa Electrolumiscence, que é um protótipo criado a partir da experimentação sobre a interação entre ser humano e os móveis.

A Electric chair foi um trabalho comissionado pelo British Coucil para uma mostra na China.

The distinctive work of Sam Buxton is dominated by his innovative use of advanced materials and technologies. From his immensely popular MIKRO series (miniature fold-up sculptures, laser cut into thin strips of stainless steel through an acid etching process) to his explorations concerning interactive intelligent surfaces on the familiar objects around us, his work has continually managed to blur the lines between art, science and design.

Through his work, which has regularly involved relatively common objects ranging from business cards to a dining table, Buxton has demonstrated an ability to see potential in what others take for granted. His on-going efforts in developing objects that can communicate, display information and react to the actions of the user, demonstrate his commitment to investigating the delicate relationship between the human body and its environment. Buxton’s fusion of art and science has resulted in a highly innovative and unique range of personal designs, many of which, have utilized the latest, most advanced materials and technologies available.

Considered a ‘design prospector’ by his peers, his ambitious vision and unrelenting commitment have resulted in groundbreaking advances in applied design. Subsequently, Buxton was short-listed for the Design Museum’s ‘Designer of the year’ award in 2004.
