Coordinated by the contemporary design platform DMY Berlin in collaboration with Create Berlin, seven designers and creative labs from Berlin gather during Milan week of design 2010 showed us new prototypes and innovative concepts for future living spaces.
Set up in the environment of a garage where tools, machines and materials reflect the daily work life, Made in Berlin – Open Process exhibition provide a closer look at the design processes, going from the very first inspiration and
concept, beyond various testing phases to the prototypes.
NETwork 3D stitching furniture – lamp, stool, armchair and bowl series
The „NETwork 3D stitching furniture“ project combines new high technologies, applied to traditional stitching techniques, with a collection of edited textile objects.
The objects of the „NETwork 3D stitching furniture“ collection – armchairs, stools, bowls and lamps – are “plotted” onto a carrier by the means of a programmable stitching machine in order to create a “pop-up-object”, that raises from the surface as if it was extruded into its third dimension. The stitched textile honeycomb structures are resin-impregnated in order to make them rigid and constructive.
The result is a series of extremely light and transparent objects, that seem to float in the space as textile 3D-meta-network.
Lift – occasional roto mould tables
Fascinated by plastics and the possibilities offered by roto moulding technologies, Mark Braun designed Lift, an occasional table series. Each table has two areas for flexible use – for example one for a pack of books you want to read and the other for the book you are currently reading. By using pure geometric forms the design of Lift communicates the beauty of plastics in colour and surface finish, combined with the great possibilities of large roto mould plastic shapes.
e27: Pit – floor- and table light
The Pit lamp is based on a simple idea: e27 have analysed and abstracted the principle of tilting, searching for a way to integrate it into the design of a product.
As a result, the Pit lamp can easily and smoothly be swivelled in all directions. Manufacturer: Domus Licht zum Wohnen GmbH, www.domus-licht.de
OLIVERVO: Spherology – installation and design process
Spherology is made with polyethylene nets, cotton, aluminium and rubber. A prototype and a design process.
