Hello today I’m going to write some things about Rodrigo Alonso, he's one of the "new" Chilean eco-designer. He studied graphic design but he also has different works of industrial design. Actually he's owner of a design studio.

I like his work because he recognizes the Chilean culture and he use that to make interesting products. I think he can see beyond the limits of the form and the materials. If he has an idea, no matter what he tries to get it, if he doesn't know about a process to get a product or what kind of material use for, he doesn't stop to try even if he was deceived and lost a lot of money in bad results.

I think that he's a good example of work, he was recognized few years ago for his sleeping bag with human shape (selk' bag), and now he's working in a project with familys in social risk, he helps them with another organism to create job places with his armo project. This project consists in make urban shoes with zippers and different color parts, so you can combine those parts as you prefer.

Rodrigo is also interested in eco-design, has some works with e-waste, most of them were sold in his studio, but another products were not economically profitable because he work with eco resin and it's very expensive. So the most of people couldn't buy them.

Still with all his mistakes I would like to be a little like him in a few years more...

Ok, here is the link of his page if you want see more of his works http://www.rodrigoalonso.cl/HTML/home.html
