Copy is a project by Sarah Kueng & Lovis Caputo. The idea behind is the fact that a copy of a design object makes the original available to the masses. Kueng & Caputo took some recent designs and tried to plagiarize them to the maximum.

Powered by nothing but sunlight and some threads, Thomas Traxlers‘ “The idea of a tree project” shows us how objects can grow during the course of a day. The installation is powered by a couple of solar cells which power the entire device, causing the process to move faster or slower depending on the amount of available light. The speed of the process determines the amount of saturation of the thread, giving a visual recording in the resulting object. Thomas Traxler just graduated from the IM Masters department of the Design Academy Eindhoven, 2008.

It’s called ‘Twilight’ and it’s an urn for a placenta in pink gold. It was designed by Benjamin Graindorge, he is part of the design collective Duende. They are having this exhibition with a collection of objects that explore the sharing of food between mother and child, really strange stuff if you ask me.

Pieces by Daniel Enoksson.
My starting point in this project was to create a contrast between different colours and different materials. I wanted them to look like they where characters and at the same time would work with in a group. I used pine, MDF and steel to create a contrast in the composition between the pieces.
