Jacob’s Antique Market
Ikea Market Hall
Field project research trips to locations in Cardiff. As part of the brief we have been asked to focus on an area of the city. I have chosen two locations, Ikea and Jacob’s Antique Market. One sells mass produced objects for the home and the other sells second hand and vintage items. I have chosen them because they are so different yet both sell sought after artefacts, I want to take these artefacts out of their context and create a new object that could be found at each location. After initial visits I have chosen to focus on lights and shades as their warm glow is appealing to me. This is the basis for my inspiration and I am going to further develop concepts associated with products purchased from both locations.
