Maarten Baas, designer of the year 2009

Friday, February 19th, 2010


YDN designguide visits Maarten Baas at his retrospective exhibition in Miami. At just 31 years old, he managed to change the general view on design by constantly rethinking the design process and introducing new disciplines to his work. The organization of design/miami recognized this and awarded him the prestigious Designer of the year award. The exhibition had an overview of his work as well as several live performances of his Real-time project. Maarten also took this moment to create one of his most difficult pieces to date, the Shell cabinet.

Experimenta Design 09: Lapse in Time

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

YDN Design Guide travels to Lisbon, Portugal for the Experimenta Design Festival 2009. Our first visit there is the Lapse in Time Show curated by Hans Maier-Aichen. Lapse in time highlights several young designers who have chosen to explore something new, on the crossroads of design, thought, science, environmental concerns and cultural exchange.

Short quote from the show “In an increasingly global production scenario, speed and acceleration are synonymous with “added value”. Eager to maximize cost-effectiveness, mainstream production is reduced to churning out irrelevant variations on existing models, old ideas with a revamped look.”

Featuring works of: Constantin & Laurene Boym (us), Eric Klarenbeek (nl), Jason Miller (us), Jerszy Seymour (de), Julien Carretero (fr), Katherina Wahl (de), Katrin Sonnleitner (de), Nacho Carbonell (es), Pieke Bergmans (nl), Studio Glithero (uk,nl), Susana Soares (pt).
