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).

We take a closer look at 3 projects of Master of design graduates from the Design Academy Eindhoven. Their projects seem to be focussed on life’s rituals and typical behaviours. Ryou Jihyun’s project shows us techniques used in the past for storing food without the use of a fridge. In a society where energy consumption becomes an entire nation’s problem, these age-old methods get new life when applied to a modern day design and thought process.
People increasingly suffer from depression, anxiety and tension because of their inability to deal with death of their loved ones. Wing Lam Kwok takes a closer look at bereavement and the process that surrounds it. By designing a new ritual she hopes to address grief not only in terms of psychology but also as a new task in the humanitarian design field.
And lastly we take a look at a custom most of us have become used to in the morning, that first cup of coffee. Jo Nakamura took an extensive look at the many existing coffee makers in the world, and took the most inspirational ones to further develop them into a brand new ritual of making coffee. Resulting in a unique appliance giving ode to the extraction process which has been around for over 300 years. It’s not just about functionality.
