Three of the Possessed

96 // Three of the Possessed are a trio of designers based in Sydney, Australia. Before forming their design collective, they had worked together on video installations. Three of the Possessed are inspired by the Russian art movement Suprematism, which focused on basic geometric forms painted in a limited range of colours. They are also heavily influenced by sound – most often their designs are created directly from a piece of music. Three of the Possessed are currently working on various commissions and hope to move on to larger-scale pieces in the future.
Design Heroes: Peter Saville, Steven Scott, Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris (Le Corbusier)
Chevron Rain
A clever arrangement of chevrons becomes three-dimensional hollow squares. ‘We usually start with a piece of music,’ Three of the Possessed say. ‘We then create a collage using digital and analogue and start unpacking the image until we arrive at the simplest forms and colour that we feel carry the feelings and attitude of our original inspiration.’
Circle Triangles
A circle is divided by lines that in turn create a colourful series of geometric shapes.
Triangle Vivid
Diamond shapes form the basis for this complex exercise in geometry. The resulting structure becomes a great vehicle for colour.
