as an individual active in theater i can say that design is not dead (well actually it is but only for pretentious snobs) and this gives me ideas for the light/set design for my next show…

I am not sure about the noose design lighting and judging by the above comments some people find it offensive.
Having watched Design for Life however, i was intrigued by your efforts and personality on the programme and i was especially impressed at how willing you were to fight for what you believed to be right .. especially as Monsieur Starck came across as such an overpowering personality.
Good on you !!

No:

“The noose quite obviously overpowers the light/life aspect of the idea which is why people have reacted the way that they have….my intention was to leave it as it is ….I didn’t want to hide the reality”

people reacted badly because it’s a very lazy design.
That’s what all the comments above focus on.
There is no controversy. Only cliche.

The noose quite obviously overpowers the light/life aspect of the idea which is why people have reacted the way that they have….my intention was to leave it as it is ….I didn’t want to hide the reality and the symbol which is the noose and I don’t want to make it ceramic for instance use electroluminescent material…..I figured people are drawn to glamour….glamorising something which is seen as frightening makes things more acceptable….therefore I just wanted to keep it as real as possible….material wise…..
