Image Captures

The Dining table and chairs bring together the powerful curves of Oprah's Space and the rigidness of Ive's office into a final product that relates the the architectural flow of the bridge.

Venturing from the centre of the bridge out, the scale of elements increase. The beholder is overcome by the increase in proportions as they venture closer to the respective clients office. This gradual increase belittles the beholder, drawing attention to the power of Both Oprah And Jonathan Ive

Oprahs Bridge and office relies on overshadowing curves to give a sense that there is always someone or something above you, looking down on you. Hence Oprahs space is set above the ground level in the centre of the stucture. her elevation and ability to look down on those entering her space compliments her poweful status.

Like The products Jonathan Ive designs this side of the bridge brings together components of different shapes and sizes to form a unique and sleek product.

As the bridge forms a whole, although it appears as there are alternate routes to his office, there is only one, which suffocates the beholder as they get closer to his office, giving an overpowering presence as you get closer to the offices.

The Design

Oprahs office space draws focus to the use of strong curves to portray power. Curves represent a feminine approach to her design and evoke her rise to power and dominance as a female. This is replicated in the terrain on her side of the valley, where the landscape has smoother and more balanced curves.

Ive's Office space reflects his work for apple in proportions that deem powerful. Similiar to his design for apple his office space and bridge bring together different "components" that work together to form a well represent final product. Again his landscape is more rugged and uses harsher curves in the landscape.

In Both Designs clients offices are raised well above the bridge level and entance, allowing both Oprah and Ive to "look down" on their surroundings.
