YDN Designguide takes a look at the new projects exhibited at the Spazio Rossana Orlandi gallery, always a favorite amongst the Milan Design week visitors.

Some of the projects like the animals by Frederique Morrel really caught our attention. There’s always a high number of projects from the Design academy Eindhoven but more often these days we see projects from other schools such as the Konstfack from Sweden as well. BCXSY took their inspiration to Japan and worked together with craftsman on their new “origins” project. And Formafantasma showed their new adventure in the Autarky exhibition found in the basement of the gallery.

In the new “Diversity” series, Carbonell takes twenty iterations of the same form – a slender-legged chair attached to a narrow, covered desk – and creates distinct ?nishes for each with the result suggesting a demographically diverse neighborhood.   One is coated in “hair ?laments” that can be combed and groomed; another in shards of broken glass from used wine bottles; and, yet another in a granular concrete coating.  Arrayed in the vast and opulent 625 square meter exhibition space at the Palazzo Ferre, the works seem almost processional.

Designguide.tv was invited to follow the process of Nacho Carbonell’s new work: Diversity at his studio in Eindhoven. This is the single largest body of new work ever shown by Carbonell and will debut a broad array of recently created ?nishes made from gravel, thorns, resins, broken glass, mono?laments, and others. The Diversity” series is being shown at the Palazzo Ferre, a space otherwise used exclusively for Gianfranco Ferre’s fashion shows, in conjunction with the Salone di Mobile, and will be on view from April 14 , 2010 throughout the month.

Designguide.tv presents an interview with Arik Levy. Shortly after his lecture at DMY Berlin Matylda Krzykowski spoke with Arik Levy about the future of design, uncomfortable chairs and love.
