“A marriage between minimalist aesthetics and an element of fun” was how Kev described his personal style. Sounds like a mouthful but take a closer look at his outfit and you’ll understand — it’s pretty straightforward, but deceptively so. That’s no ordinary white shirt — it boasts a double collar detail. Those plaid pants aren’t the usual – they’re cropped just so, with a bit of sock showing. His digital watch also redefines how time is read (without digits!) — with each bar representing the different aspects of time. Kev regards his life almost an extension of his work, sharing that he has a preference for artists with a “strong spatial quality”, naming Olafur Eliasson, Richard Serra and Dan Flavin amongst others. Likewise for music, this self-confessed “huge music junkie with a constantly expanding playlist” is drawn to tunes that are either atmospheric or ethereal, such as Jonsi & Alex or Moderat. The soft-spoken designer reckons his interests are all interlinked, if wide-ranging. “My interest in design is not only limited to the specific discipline but it involves the tangible and intangible things in our lives, such as music, scent, clothes, environment.”
