Frida Kahlo, forma e estética: uma visão de produto, box Frida Kahlo

Abstract

This course completion work aims to explore the iconic figure of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo under the perspective of product design, more specifically in the creation of a decorative object: the Frida Kahlo box. The research seeks to identify the essence of form and aesthetics present in the works of Frida Kahlo and apply them in the design of a product that conveys singularity, creativity and represents it in a symbolic way. The method used consists in the study of the artist's life and work, taking inspiration from the elements present in her paintings, self-portraits, recurring in her work. There is still research to be done to identify the trends in product design and how they can be combined with the aesthetics of the creation of the Box Frida Kahlo. From the results obtained, it will be possible to conclude whether the Box Frieda Kahlo will have the potential to become a product of visibility for the design, able to meet the demands of the market of decoration and editorial, and to conquer an audience that values art and originality. The project highlights the importance of product design as a tool to express the essence of an artist and reimagine the artist’s message in an innovative way. This work contributes to the field of product design by exploring the possibilities of applying the aesthetics and inspiring personality of Frida Kahlo through specifically, the creation of all the elements to compose the content of Box, broadening the frontlines of artistic inspiration in product development. Future studies may go deeper into applying the concepts and elements of artists such as Frida Kahlo to other design contexts, exploring new forms of expression and creation.
