Deuxième volet de ma sélection au DMY International Design Festival de Berlin. Voici les dix projets que je retiens aujourd’hui. Suite et fin demain.
À propos du festival:
« DMY Berlin is an international design network for contemporary product design. At the yearly DMY International Design Festival Berlin both renowned and young, experimental designers launch new products, prototypes and foresighted projects. The exhibition is accompanied by a wide program of symposia, designer-talks and workshops, able to reflect current topics of contemporary design and to reveal necessary future trends of design and its related disciplines.
Furthermore DMY yearly assigns the DMY Awards for excellent projects. With international exhibitions and activities in Europe, Asia and South America, DMY gives visibility to unconventional and innovative projects and products that go beyond the mainstream. »

Studio Joon & Jung (Joonsoo Kim and JungYou Choi) tabouret Cloud, collection ‘Form from Everyday’
Based à Eindhoven aux Pays-Bas et en Corée du Sud
http://www.joonjung.com
« Nature is making relations and keeps alive in everyday. It creates a constant surprising composition of shapes and colors. People are individual but they share a common sense with groups, and it makes them unique and uni ted. Cloud Stool is inspired by the flexibility and softness of a cloudscape. It can appear singular or become a group. It gives the illusion that they are alive by using irregularity, flexibility and subtle differences in tone of perception. Conclusively the form interacts between objects that might be explored. »
Pour les Alpes (Tina Stieger et Annina Gähwiler), pot pour plantes Kristall
Zurich, Suisse
Tina Stieger, Annina Gähwiler
http://www.pourlesalpes.ch
« Kristall is a plant pot made out of oak. As part of the sculpture the plants grow out of a crack which runs along the faceted shape. The mountain crystal served as inspiration for the design of the object: arisen from the depths of nature, legendary stories of its discovery and sculptural in its appearance. Due to the uncommon combination of shape and function‚ Kristall becomes an alpine treasure in an urban environment. »
Bureau Purée (Miriam Frei, Thomas Frischknecht et Hans-Kaspar Schreiber), suspension WRAPPED GLASS
Zurich, Suisse
http://www.bureaupuree.ch
« The lamp WRAPPED GLASS was inspired by the Czech Sumperak House, whose architecture recalls a modernist style, an untypical design for the 1960s. The initial idea to improvise and arrange glasses around a source of light has developed into a style in its own right: The glasses are now distinct lamps that can be arranged as desired.
The radial light refraction of the glassware creates a crystal-light effect. »
Guderian & Klingmüller (Felix Klingmüller), tréteaux Toro
Freiburg et Cologne, Allemagne
http://guderianundklingmueller.de
« The scalable trestle Toro can carry one-piece table tops as well as single planks. The horn-shaped elements holds them tight, so that they can not fall of. The distance between the horns is scalable from 65 – 90 cm. Thereby Toro allows the user to spontaneously vary the width of the table. Toro is made of CNC-milled plywood and sheet steel. »
Argue Design (Matilda Nordgård, Patrik Nilsson) MyAnimo et A4, collection HOMESICK
Stockholm, Suède
http://www.arguedesign.se
« Furniture made for children are either small versions of furniture for adults, or they tend to have strong colors and crazy shapes that leaves little space for imagination. This notion became the starting point for a new furniture concept. The aim was to create furniture that could work in a space that adults and children share while keeping a playful spirit. Giving the furniture strong characters without being gender orientated.
MyAnimo bench and A4 screen are imaginative furniture for children between the ages of 3-6. They are lightweight and inspired by the way children see the world. MyAnimo’s abstract shape wants to encourage imagination and can be a hippo as well as a cave. They can be connected together to create a longer curved bench or a tunnel.
A4 screen wall has got it’s name and proportions from a standard paper. The different cuts gives a playful expression and makes them easier to carry. The screen wall can give privacy for bedtime stories or become a house or a fort during play. Both A4 and MyAnimo can be stacked tightly and take little space when stored away. The felt is a good sound absorbent and has a warm tactile feeling similar to wool, which makes it perfect for environments were children play.
MyAnimo & A4 are solely made in mouldable felt from recycled PET. »

« With Sailor’s Dream, Jonas Klein from Supershape would like to show that you do not have to reinvent the wheel each time. By using well-known materials and objects that already exist and already have a purpose, Jonas Klein creates new products out of old objects and material. It gives life to old objects and it allows us to look at them in a new way. »
Superequipe (Jan Regett, Gesine Hillmann, Tjark Pfeiffer, Lisa Hillmann et Julia Fellner), tabouret Eins, collection Fabulous
Berlin/Zurich/Munich, Allemagne/Suisse
http://www.superequipe.com
« Stuhl Eins » plays with our understanding of comfort. In spite of its rough chiseled form it is comfortable. Each facet allows for a multitude of possibilities. The chair becomes a playground. The modern manufacturing technology revives the rather dusty but sustainable material of the fir wood. The spruce wood achieves a unique quality through modern manufacturing technology »

Sascha Nordmeyer, Artifical Flowers
Reims, France
http://www.saschanordmeyer.com
« Last year, I travelled to Singapour where I was very impressed by local flora! Back to France, I started wondering wether it would be possible to design small objects that would have a similar emotional impact to me that tropical flowers. Thus I started creating a range of hand-crafted complex shapes made out of colored, printed, punched and cut paper in order to set up an artificial leafage that would delight my mind. »
