Wih Chester, the fact that she is inspired by a classic design, aesthetically, is the concept of the piece. The material and construction is irrelevant and can therefore be designed in many ways... whatever is appropriate... as long as she stays true to the original concept of classic British inspiration. This however, means that she is a NEW form, losely based on the old aesthetic, but modernised.

The Lego project is a new material in a sense, and thus should not be combined with radical new forms as that would over-complicate the design. To combine a new esthetic and a new material is a positive step, but when the new matrial is made up of old design, that is the trick and the conept, and that is as much as the piece should say.
