All
shapes - any design.
Our Aztecs
were a long time in the making, we looked at traditional
Aztec works of art and made sketches of the main features
of the look in black & white, then we selected the stronger
features from the many different styles that the Aztec people
used. We stripped back all the surplus detail and concentrated
on just the more powerful graphic features that were left,
then we introduced the Reckless colour pallette to that
and after alot of deliberation the Aztec collection was
born.
Total
time from initial work to launch was about six months. It
was certainly worth the effort opening a different chapter
in the Reckless story.
Look
out for some of the more unusual inspirations featured on
the pots- the Warriors shield of Ostrich feathers and his
Chain Mail Armour, and how about the black graphics on Aztec
6 inspired by Elephant toe nails!
