Unconsciously, we influence our art by the search for meaning:
What is the future?
What is perfection?
What do design & art mean?
Who is the designer or artist?
Why are art, design & life connected?
Futurist in the Present is both a guide and biography by Dani Foroux for anyone who wants to elevate their art. Initially, it was intended as a booklet to an exclusively released shoe, The SOFIA, a silhouette inspired by his mother. The design and story of the footwear differ tremendously from the notion of traditional footwear, which placed the young designer in an intricate process.
Thus, Dani felt an urge to explain the design and its complex and extensive development process. An important reason for the intricate process was crafting the shoes not as a product, but as art; the creation of art has an entirely different foundation than product development.
But soon Dani's desire to explain the design narrative manifested in a full book of unique philosophy on design, art, and life. He applied the concepts in the book to his work and life and experienced their positive effects in both areas. Therefore, for the first time, Dani is sharing them with others to help elevate art in general; Dani believes that art is a road that we all share.
