The elevators

Obama's lift is a heavy, solid circular shape. I wanted something simple, but that also portrayed the idea of weight, to show sturdiness and reliability, but nothing complex or hidden.





Prada's elevator.
This was my original idea for Prada's elevator.
She is very elegant yet simple so i made a simple shape with an interesting feature of the cut away glass.


However, I later decided that I wanted it to look more weightless, to emphasize her femininity in contrast to Obama's heavier design, so took the roof off. Now, the curving glass walls are the only feature.
