harry allen reality Harry Allen in an award-winning interior and industrial designer. His "reality" series consists of objects whose form is "sampled" from existing sources. Mr. Allen believes that original form should no longer be the driving force in design. His process has always emphasized the inherent beauty of things – beauty from concept, beauty from materials, beauty from structure. "Reality" takes his quest even further by borrowing form from the world that surrounds him. Using a technique that involved casting polyester resin in highly detailed silicone molds, he is able to borrow with precision.
