Objectified is the most anticipated movie of the year, at least for me.It is actually a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. The graphic design studio Build designed the logo and this poster. The logo is hidden in the 6th row, the bottom row shows you the products used to make this film.
Doppio Gioco (= Double Play) is new table designed by 5.5 designers. It is part of a collection they did for coincasa, which will launch at the Milan design week in April. This table only has 2 legs, you can choose between a book stand, a birdcage or light stand to be the third one.
BadKast is a combination of a bath and a closet. Anna van der Lei was inspired by the Finish saunas who have 2 rooms, the sauna itself and a dressing room. You can open the doors on both sides and place this piece of furniture anywhere you want.
This is the Prince Charles Side Chair, a collaboration between Peter Shire and Modernica Studio. It does look familiar right? But still a little weird … the legs.
Some years ago, Modernica bought the original molds of the Eames Shell Chairs from Herman Miller. They just didn’t buy the rights to the name, so they can’t call them Eames chairs. Actually Modernica still produces the fiberglass version, Vitra on the other hand produces a plastic version.
This collection of bags, called Papier (= paper), was actually designed by Stefan Diez for Saskia Diez, his wife who designs really nice jewelery. They are made from the same material, Tyvek®, as his other bags A1 & A2. It is a synthetic paper made from PE which is extremely tearproof, lightweight, waterproof and recyclable. Like most bags, they become nice after some wear and tear.
Screw Table by Tom Dixon. Made from a cast iron tripod base with a white marble top. The industrial strength of the aluminium screw allows for multiple heights by simply spinning the top.
“A Study Of Three Mirrors” by rAndom international are not really 3 mirrors. Above each so called mirror there is a small camera which captures the person in front of the mirror. That image is then printed with light (LED’s) on a light reactive surface. After a few minutes the images starts to fade away again. Yeah, I would like one of those.
