Stitching Furniture, Studio Aisslinger
During Milan Design Week (April 14-19 2010), seven designers and creative labs from Berlin gathered for the exhibition Made in Berlin – Open Process. Coordinated by the contemporary design platform DMY Berlin in collaboration with Create Berlin, the exhibition revealed new prototypes and innovative concepts for future living spaces.
The participants in Made in Berlin- Open Process were Culture Form, e 27, ett la benn, Ilot Ilov, Mark Braun Design, Oliver Vogt and Studio Aisslinger; all of whom were selected by curators Mateo Kries (Vitra Design Museum), Flip Sellin (Create Berlin) and Ake Rudolf (DMY Berlin).
The Stitching Furniture project combines new technology with traditional stitching techniques for a collection of textile objects. The objects of the collection – armchairs, stools, bowls and lamps – are plotted onto a ‘carrier’ surface by the means of a programmable stitching machine in order to create a ‘pop-up-object’, that raises up from the surface as if it was a 3D extrusion.
The stitched textile honeycomb structures are resin-impregnated in order to make them rigid. The result is a series of extremely light and transparent objects that seem to float the space as textile 3D meta-networks.
Malva, ett la benn
Malva is a furniture collection inspired by the natural qualities of cellulose and viscose: the objects are generated by the shaping of moistened sponge cloth and its subsequent air drying over a mould. By simply compressing or connecting several components, numerous variations and extensions of Malva can be generated. Translating the material into design pieces through basic processes makes it rate high for sustainability. All the objects are not only compostable, but also reversible by merely immersing them into water.
Pit, e27; Clark, llot llov
The function of Pit lamp designed by e27 is based on the physical lever principle, making it an easily adjustable task light.
The Clark desk provides storage which is not about filing or sorting, but simply stacking. Everything stays within reach and does not disappear in drawers or cupboards. Clark is a well organised desk for keeping objects in and enables you to do this in a variety of ways.
Contrast, Culture Form
The porcelain series Contrast by Culture Form expands the possibilities in presenting food, through a design series reminiscent of shell fragments that have been cut open.
