Here & There is a collaboration between MU and KOP. They invited 20 promising artists and designers from Breda and Eindhoven to present themselves in 2 groups, one at Mu and the other at Kop. Between both organizations there’s a kinship that expresses itself in the way of which they perceive the art world.

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
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
Atelierdorp is located in an abandoned church in the city of Eindhoven. Founded 3 years ago by Otje Bastiaanse, Hilbert Tjalkens, Djim Berger, Rocco Verdult and Vera Teunen with the aim to offer space for designers to grow. Over the years the church has developed into more then just simply a space for designers, it has evolved into a design family where people get a chance to explore their true creative potential.
Currently designers in the church are working new works for Droog Design, Rossana Orlandi, Art Basel, ICFF and the Salone di Mobile in Milan amongst others. People like Bas van Raay, Nacho Carbonell, Julien Carretero, Ontwerpduo, Djim Berger, Joni Neelen, Veronique Lorne, Vera Teunen, Hilbert Tjalkens are proud to call it their working home.
