LEON RANSMEIER
MEET THE DESIGNER
A believer that “use follows form,” New York-based industrial designer Leon Ransmeier has a hands-on approach to every project. With works included in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Corning Museum of Glass, he creates full-size prototypes for each of his designs. “Designers have to imagine how a stranger might use a product – it’s almost a form of empathy.” For HAY, Ransmeier has designed the Revolver Stool, Chops Toothbrush, and Shortwave Dish Rack.
On the design process
“It varies from object to object. For example, designing something for public spaces requires a different approach from something that’s designed for use in the home. One of the ironies of industrial design is that while we can spend a lot of time refining the details or something, we almost never get to choose where that thing lives.”
REVOLVER: BEHIND THE DESIGN
The Revolver Stool is positioned on a bearing mechanism that allows the seat and foot ring to rotate 360 degrees. “The original Revolver used a ball bearing from a Chinese kitchen supply store on the Bowery – dim sum restaurants use them for the big lazy Susans that are in the middle of the tables.”
