Curating design Talent with Li Edelkoort

Friday, May 8th, 2009


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
