of contemporary design......

EXHIBITION OF NEW WORK BY PIET HEIN EEK
Seating units made from reclaimed pipes.
This collection of individual glass and metal showcases,
inspired by a vintage version,
create a single curving unit
when placed under a single piece of glass.
Collection of painted benches made from rough,
uncut,
reclaimed planks.
Size depends on the length of the planks.
Prototypes of vessels that were blown collectively
by three glass blowers ......
creating one object.
The original Dutch "Design God's" together........
Marteen Baas & Piet Hein Eyck.
BOTANICA, A Project by STUDIO FORMAFANTASMA
These objects are "designed as if the oil-based era,
in which we are living, never took place."
The designers are "investigating the pre-bakelite period,
discovering unexpected textures, feelings,
and the technical possibilities offered by natural polymers
extracted from plants or animal-derivatives."
JAMESPLUMB, "HOME FROM HOME" Project
Objects for this project were
created during a 2 month residency,
at Spazio Rossana Orlandi,
at the end of 2010.
Hannah Plumb & James Ruessll work together,
"with the overlooked and discarded,
taking time worn antiques & cast offs
to produce one-off assemblage,
lumiares, & interiors."
NACHO CARBONELL, "HOT KETTLE TRANSFORMATION"
This collection of kettles, created in Milan during the 201 design week,
was a collaboration with Mariana Relou.
For this project "various hot kettles were transformed
with layers of pigment textures,
giving a unique, one-off finish to each vessel."
