Chris Labrooy’s
illustrations are an innovative and clever mash-up of architecture and
product design. With a focus in 3D typography, he creates
highly-detailed works that never fail to catch attention. A number of
his key illustrations are interpretations of his architectural
influences (Frank Gehry, Ettore Sottsass, Toyo Ito) ‘developed into
expressive letter forms.’ At a glance you see a name or word, but up
close, you see detail, intricacy, and complexity. His confusingly
realistic illustrations make you rethink whether it’s a CGI or photo
that you are actually viewing. Lucky for us, Chris recently opened up to
Design For Today about what goes behind his unusual yet fresh creations
from a sketched concept to a 3- dimensional finish.
