Breeze Block Sculpture

As you should know by now, at The BIG Consultant, we take learning seriously. We strongly believe that learning to be creative and teaching creativity benefits us all. Therefore we are developing and running a series of courses aimed at schools, youth clubs and indeed for all learners to undertake fun design tasks.

Breezeblock sculptures utilise traditional stone masonry techniques on light-weight aerated concrete blocks (breezeblocks). Unlike traditional stone, the blocks are soft and easy to carve making them an ideal medium for young peoples first sculptural experiences.

New Designer Silvia Bianco

The BIG Consultant is very proud to announce our new designer, Silvia Bianco, who as a fantastic and highly creative professional, will be bringing a little Italian design flair to our customers designs!!

-People look at the things, and they say:“Why?” A Designer dreams things that never exist,and says:“Why not?”- She says;

"Art and design have always been my passion (ask my parents) since I was little I continue to draw and invent new things. I have always work to make others understand the importance of creativity in everyday life.

My experience as a Designer started in Italy where I did first an Art School and than a Laurea ( 5 years : BA + specialization) in graphic and product design at the University of Venice IUAV Art and Design Department .

While studying I always work as a designer for two company : LAICA http://www.laica.it and Emmedisplay. There I worked as a healthcare product designer, as a graphic- brand designer and as a display and shop designer. During the University I also worked in some research project with some important designer like Riccardo Blumer and Michele De Lucchi. One of my work was also exhibited at the SALONE DEL MOBILE in Milan last year for Alias Design.

When I finish to study I decided with my boyfriend to move to Sheffield and now we are stable here. The first time was really hard for me to start something because I was a stranger in a new place but with all my passion and with hard work I can say that I’m now happy about our choice."

I am glad to say that Silva has decided to stay, and join the ranks of the BIG Consultant. Right away, she has been involved with our current client developing an innovative and highly marketable medical device, which we hope will be in the high street soon! And brings a refreshing deign angle and world class design experience to The BIG Consultant, which as you know is "the little company with the BIG ideas"
