Luigi Colani, (Berlin, 1928), is a German industrial designer. His unconventional designs have made him famous, not only in design circles, but also to the general public. He has received numerous design awards. He has produced consumer products of surprising practicality and longevity. His Canon T90 won awards and established the look of many future ergonomic cameras. He has been recruited by the Chinese to work on the 2008 Olympics and to teach at Tongji University in Shanghai..Colani's Manifesto: ?I am not a designer,? Mr. Colani said ?I am a three-dimensional philosopher of the future." or "The earth is round, all the heavenly bodies are round; they all move on round or elliptical orbits. This same image of circular globe-shaped mini worlds orbiting around each other follows us right down to the microcosmos. We are even aroused by round forms in species propagation related eroticism. Why should I join the straying mass who want to make everything angular? I am going to pursue Galileo Galilei`s philosophy: my world is also round."
