The designer will be sharing an intricate, personally crafted award for the Dazed x Circa Class of 2021 competition next week
, says the design came to him naturally, and was crafted over a morning and an afternoon. After drawing it up, he turned to fellow artist Burgis, who helped assemble and weld the award to life. “I knew exactly how it should look,” Gallacher says. “It took about a day, and then we went fishing for mackerel afterwards.”
The sudden thunderstrike of inspiration hits Gallacher often, and he admits that most of his designs “just come to him” without too much planning: “There’s no academic thought process, I just know how things should be. It’s the same approach whether I’m designing a room or an object. I was always like that at art school, too – I hated planning things out in sketchbooks. I just wanted to do it.”
He adds that it was partly inspired by Burgis, who has helped make the prototypes for many of his previous collections. “I drew them, and they’re all to my design, but everything has got his touch on as well as mine,” the designer says. “He’s a dear friend, we’ve been working with each other for a long time ... I think it makes for good work, doing things with friends. You’re inspired by them, so it makes sense that you’d want to work with them.
