Book excerpt: A decade of colorful furniture, lighting and objects from the Belgian design duo Belgian design duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen have worked together since 2011, drawing inspiration from their respective family roots to create an innovative and minimalistic modern furniture collection. The pair's use of simple industrial materials in combination with a rich color palette has created an influential body of work.

Through conversations and visual references, this publication unveils the origins and complexities of, and the references embedded in, the DNA of Muller Van Severen's work. Curator Jan Boelen explores the designers' universe through interviews with them, alongside curator and critic Beatrice Galilee, and architects Arno Brandhublr and Sam Chermayeff.

Book excerpt: The work of photographer Fien Muller and artist Hannes Van Severen lies on the edge between art and design: they favour functional furniture with refined shapes and contours, but at the same time the pieces also have something fragile and frivolous about them. What began as a one-off project for Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen has turned into quite a success story. With their joint design project Muller Van Severen as its focus, the book is divided into three main sections - Introduction, Process and Objects. Also included are texts based on interviews with the designers themselves, the design journalist Chris Meplon and the London curator and critic Max Fraser.

Download or read book A Wild Thing written by Hilde Bouchez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everyday objects can have an extra dimension or quality that has no relation to functionality, form, a concept or a trend. So what is it that gives a particular glass an 'aura'? Why should one thing have more shine, passion and 'mystical allure' than another? A Wild Thing attempts to identify and describe these often intangible qualities. There seems to be an inner light that shines from certain things. Unlike the blinding spotlight of media and marketing, this light is gentle and clear and reflects the methodology and intention of the maker. Ancient craftsmen designed from a place of unity with matter and the cosmos, putting themselves at the service of the making process and thereby creating a moment of transference from maker to thing. A Wild Thing focuses on how this unity between a person, a thing and the universe can be attained through a particular manner of both designing and experiencing objects. This approach is in stark contrast to that of the star designer, who frequently conceives useless products that are nothing more than status symbols designed to generate wasteful consumption. In a series of essays, Hilde Bouchez reflects on design history and the latest movements within the design world. She also presents a phenomenological methodology that opens up a new, more poetic approach to everyday objects for both maker and consumer. The texts are linked by the author's search for a sustainability and meaning that transcends the organic component of materials"--Back cover.

Download or read book Konstantin Grcic written by Mateo Kries and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Konstantin Grcic ist einer der wichtigsten Designer unserer Zeit. Seine Entwürfe verbinden industrielle Ästhetik mit experimentellen, künstlerischen Elementen, sie sind ernsthaft und funktional, sperrig und teilweise irritierend. Manche von Grcics Designs, etwa der »Chair_One± (2004) oder die Leuchte »Mayday± (1999), gelten bereits heute als Designklassiker. Mit »Konstantin Grcic – Panorama± präsentiert das Vitra Design Museum die bislang größte Einzelausstellung zu Grcic und seinem Werk. Eigens für die Ausstellung hat Grcic mehrere raumgreifende Installationen entwickelt, die seine persönlichen Visionen für das Leben von morgen darlegen: ein Wohninterieur, ein Designatelier und einen Stadtraum. Sie zeigen fiktive Szenarien, konfrontieren den Betrachter mit den Inspirationen, Herausforderungen und Fragen des Designers und stellen Grcics Entwürfe in einen größeren gesell-schaftlichen Zusammenhang. Höhepunkt dieser Inszenierungen ist ein 30 Meter langes Panoramabild, das eine Architekturlandschaft der Zukunft zeigt.0Ein vierter Ausstellungsbereich richtet einen konzentrierten Blick auf die tägliche Arbeit von Konstantin Grcic. Hier werden viele seiner Produkte, aber auch Prototypen, Zeichnungen und Hintergrundinformationen gezeigt, ergänzt um Fundstücke, Alltagsgegenstände und Werke anderer Gestalter, die Grcic inspiriert haben – von einer alten Teekanne und einem frühen Apple-Computer bis hin zu Werken von Marcel Duchamp, Gerrit Rietveld oder Enzo Mari. Mit dem Wechsel der Perspektiven zwischen dem großen und dem kleinen Zusammenhang zeigt die Ausstellung, dass Design für Grcic nicht nur Problemlösung ist, sondern ein assoziativer Umgang mit Bildern, Zufällen, Brüchen und Entdeckungen.0Exhibition: Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany (22.3.-14.9.2014) / Z33, Hasselt, Belgium (1.2.-24.5.2015).

Book excerpt: Presents a wave of designers who are applying architectural techniques to create innovative new furnishing options Furnitecture is a sourcebook exploring the furnishings, interior environments, and solutions for small spaces at the meeting point between design and architecture. The book features the work of a rising generation of designers across the globe who are starting to think about furniture in an architectural way, resulting in pieces that brilliantly transform interior spaces. Boosted by digital design and new manufacturing possibilities, furniture design that morphs into “micro architecture” is one of the most innovative fields of design today. Surveyed here are hundreds of examples of these objects, including bookshelves that can dynamically divide and reshape a room, chairs that create intimate room-like enclosures, and self-contained, expandable kitchen cubes. From Chicago-based firm Bureau Spectacular’s “Briefcase house,” and Japanese architect Shigeru Ban’s moving boxes within rooms to Dutch designers Makkink & Bey’s conversational Ear Chairs and the French atelier 37.2’s series of self-standing cubes, Furnitecture opens the door to a world of design invention and innovation. Presented in a compact, beautifully illustrated format, this volume will be an essential resource for designers and hip consumers everywhere.

Book excerpt: Pieter Vermeersch (Belgium, 1973) is well-known for his gradual wall paintings that create powerful visual experiences. Vermeersch combines painting with architecture and works on a variety of surfaces such as canvas, marble and photographs. Beyond the traditional borders of the canvas, his investigations result in large-scale spatial interventions that manipulate the space. Time, colour and space are the building blocks of his oeuvre: these concepts lie at the foundation of his gradual murals and architectural interventions. 17 Signatures presents a complete survey of Vermeersch's work, from the beginning of his career until his recent solo exhibition at Museum M Leuven, and includes a broad selection of painted works (canvases, stones, photographs, walls), installations and sketches. The book is organized by theme and is beautifully designed by the Dutch design studio Mevis & Van Deursen.
