We had the chance to speak with Erwan Bouroullec about their new project for established & sons. Inspired by the ‘old chesterfields’ their new playful design uses ‘pockets’ of foam to create this quilted look. I can personally tell you they’re very comfortable. Here’s a 5 minute talk with one of the creators and our correspondent Jeanne Tan. www.designguide.tv www.bouroullec.com www.establishedandsons.com music courtesy of NVIN: www.n-v.in
We don’t usually post video’s from other creators here on designguide.tv but I found this movie by TU+ to be such a great piece of work, that I couldn’t resist doing so anyway. Here’s the synopsis:
“What would the world be like from an underground perspective?”
SURFACE is an experimental film, exploring the emotional journey from an underground urban perspective. This ‘urban symphony’ transforms human actions and street objects into beats that harmoniously compose a grand audio and visual composition. The film emphasizes the ideas of ‘point of contact’, ‘human identity’ and notion of ‘live footprints’.

The exhibit presents everything from furniture and tabletop objects to jewelry by 23 emerging Dutch designers and manufacturers and 1 photographer. Curated by Studio Jan Habraken and Alissia Melka-Teichroew in collaboration with Wabnitz Editions Ltd and Josée Lepage, the work draws an outline of contemporary design coming out of, and shaped by, the unique climate of the densely populated Netherlands, whose designers grow up below sea level and under heavy gray skies.
This video features talks with Alissia, Greetje van Helmond, Rob van Gijzel and Lucas Maassen. With works of Miriam van der Lubbe, Ilona Huvenaars, Willem derks, Frederik Roije, Anouk Omlo, Alexander Pelikan, Lara de Greef, Maarten Baptist, Dave Keune, Lotte van Laatum, Laurens van Wieringen and Jan Habraken.

For Spazio Rossana Orlandi, Li Edelkoort brought over a part of the Designhuis’ Talent show from Eindhoven. Matylda Krzykowski speaks with Li about the exhibition which shows 21 selected designers from 11 different countries, presenting an archaic view of design with an interest in radical primitive materials as earth, cow-dung, wood, cardboard, textiles, bone and hide. They try to escape from a world of over-consumption with unplugged proposals taken from the roots of humanity with humble yet forceful form. www.designhuis.com www.rossanaorlandi.com www.matandme.net www.designguide.tv music courtesy by www.visuaal.com
