JIMI – guitar god and iconic mix of styles
Jimi Hendrix‘s style was an iconic mixture. Characterized by bright colors, luxurious fabrics, headbands and silk scarves, among other things, he created outfits that defied classification. JIMI from the ODD BIRDS collection takes up some aspects of this unmistakable look: The bold colors of the glass body, the typical afro hairstyle with hairband, the eye-catching sunglasses and a purple patterned scarf.
The sunglasses were more than just an accessory: Hendrix was very short-sighted, but rarely wore optical glasses. Instead, sunglasses became part of his image – often conspicuous, sometimes eccentric.
A musician who has rethought the guitar
Jimi Hendrix is one of the most influential guitarists in rock history. In just a few years, he fundamentally changed the way the electric guitar is played.
He combined blues, jazz, rock and soul and used feedback, distortion and the wah-wah pedal not as an effect but as a means of expression. For him, the guitar was like a sonic extension of his own body.
A good mood without any music
JIMI also works without any musical reference. Even if you don’t know Jimi Hendrix, the sculpture is colorful, lively and a little wild. It is precisely this mixture that makes it so appealing.
The striped glass body lives from its play of colors: While it appears in warm shades of apricot, orange and green when unlit, the green becomes somewhat paler when illuminated and yellow nuances become more prominent.
The Jimi light object brings a good mood into the room, creates a fresh contrast and radiates creative vibes – without any music. Both indoors and outdoors, it brings positive energy and shows that someone here has a penchant for unusual design.
