| Biography |
Vytautas Gečas (<strong>b. 1987, Lithuania</strong>) is Vilnius-based designer and PhD
student at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Vytautas obtained his BA in Product Design at the
Vilnius Academy of Arts, followed by an MA in Contextual Design at the Design Academy
Eindhoven.
Vytautas, turns to domestic objects as subjects of personification. By leaning on
complexity, fragmentation and layering, he plays with different perceptions and contexts of
the created objects.
He likes to observe commonness of everyday to look for unexpected outcomes in
object-based narratives. His works are born through exploring the relations between
contemporary and traditional materials, contrasting cold and hard, brass, metallic, or carbon
structures with wood or cushioned, “comfortable” forms.
Thus, various organic variations are created, leaving room for possible
reconstruction. In many cases, the constructive framework of the designed objects remains
exposed to viewer. This creates a rhythmic unfolding of the works’ inner structure that in
turn, enveloped in the accompanying material, causes a fluidity in the shapes and an
ergonomic feel.
