Double Side by Matali Crasset Danese “At home today the structures are fixed, like a paused video with a paused picture, life is changing and it’s in movement and it reactivates the video so to speak. My projects work in the interstices of the activities, in passages between one paused picture to another in order to reattach them to one another and to renew the movement and the action in between the spaces�. www.matalicrasset.com/ www.danesemilano.com/

Osso Chair by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec Mattiazzi “As designers, we feel involved in supporting such valiant microstructures that are always on the edge as they try to adjust to a constantly changing market. That said, the Osso chair had to be the illustration of what Mattiazzi is in its roots. We designed an object in plain wood but not in regular plain wood, the quality of the wood literally makes the object, like the best piece of meat would make the refinement of a dish. Our intention was to let the sensuality of the wood material - from oak to maple to ash - express itself. The Osso chair invites to be touched, even caressed as it is extremely sculpted and polished thanks to the use of highly sophisticated digital control equipment. The high-tech assembling system of geometrical wood panels allows a quite singular strength while preserving a design balance of the object�.

TIME MIRRORS by Stefano Mirti (co-founder id-Lab) Stefano Mirti: Stefano, how is it to be interviewed by yourself? Stefano Mirti: Indeed, it is quite a strange feeling, I’ve never done before. Anyway, it could be nice. Thanks for asking me. SM: There is always a first time. Let’s see what happens. SM: Yes of course. Not to mention that I have known you for quite a long time and you know I don’t agree with many of your opinions on contemporary design. SM: Like what? SM: So often you come up with provocative statements made for immediate pleasure and fun, just to impress your audience or your reader. I have known you for a long time, I know how much you like it. You do it once, you do it twice, but then what? In the end, what’s your aim? SM: You could be right. Anyway you shouldn’t try to flip around the roles. This time, it’s me interviewing you. You have to answer to MY questions, you don’t have to come up with YOUR questions. This other exercise, if you want, we can do it another time. SM: Va bene. So, what do you want to know? Ask your questions and let’s get to the point. SM: Well, once again we are in the Milanese design week. The 2011 edition just finished last night. An opinion from your side? What did you like? What didn’t you like? SM: Mmmmmhhhh... Honestly speaking, what a boring way to start an interview. What do you want? A list? The twenty designers of the future? I am not Paola Antonelli. Why do you ask me such a silly question? SM: Don’t you agree with Paola Antonelli’s list? I think it was quite interesting... SM: I’m not so sure. Boop. If you want lists, please ask someone else... SM: Don’t escape my question... What did you find most interesting at the latest Salone? SM: You are insistent aren’t you. You really want the names, the list, I’ve seen this, I went there... Where shall we start from? A description of Eindhoven’s best students? Ingo Maurer’s latest trick? What do I think about Enzo Mari’s statements on the

death of design (while presenting his 1000th chair?). Dai... Don’t be so obnoxious.... SM: Why do you have to be so aggressive? I am simply asking you what were the most interesting things you saw during the week. Give us a list with some comments and remarks and there we are. SM: You want to know what I like about the Milanese week? SM: Yes, please. It’s very simple. It takes no longer than five minutes. SM: I liked the Fuori Salone very much because it’s like being in Groundhog Day. Do you remember it? The movie with Bill Murray and Andy Mc Dowell. One of the greatest movies ever. SM: The one where they are stuck in some mountain town and every morning Bill Murray wakes up and it is the day before? Waking up everyday and understanding you are once again living the same day over and over (and being aware of it)? SM: Yes indeed. Wasn’t it great? I watched it so many times, there was a moment I felt being Bill Murray myself. It looked like an Hollywood movie, but it was (all in all) a flabbergasting philosophical concept. SM: Checking Wikipedia from my phone, it says: “the phrase ‘Groundhog Day’ has entered common use as a reference to an unpleasant situation that continually repeats, or seems to”. SM: Welcome to the Salone del Mobile di Milano, darling. The most exciting element is this total, complete and absolute repetition. A never ending loop. I enter the exhibition of the young brilliant designer from London and I love this feeling of entering the exhibition I went to last year, the exhibition I went to five years ago, the exhibition I will see next year, the next and the one after that. It is an absolute feeling. Very powerful, very impressive. Pure teleology. The condition where you can’t escape thinking about the final causes of setting up a relation between ourselves, other people and nature. SM: I follow your description and excitement. Yet, in common language “Groundhog Day” it has a negative connotation. It refers to an unpleasant situation. SM: This could be. Actually it could be considered un-

pleasant. Indeed, I love it. Milano’s week looks like a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. You are at Bar Basso and you feel like being in One hundred years of Solitude. Places, situations, characters repeating themselves over and over. Day after day, glass after glass, chair after chair. This is why it is so successful and why we all like it so much. I love this feeling. You feel timeless, don’t you? SM: Actually, I never thought about it. You mean being in Milano is like being in Macondo? SM: Yes. The design world could be intended as the Buendia family. We all live in this fictional Mediterranean village (a very special village: although we are in the South, every time there is this f*****g week, it rains all the time), we all spend our lives busy in multiple incests, births, love, deaths. If you are not part of the big Buendia family you find all of this quite entertaining and charming (although it is nothing more than being very spooky). SM: And if you are part of the Buendia family? How do you feel? SM: I told you before. If you are part of the family, the only thing you can do is to accept your destiny and happily play your role again and again. Year after year. Meeting the same curator over and over (although he or she will have a different face), answering to the same journalist, going to the same exhibition. SM: Same exhibition? SM: Yes, a life where you are condemned to go to the same exhibition. The jury met, and after several hours the judge condemned you to Milano Fuori Salone. Fifty years of it. One week per year, like the Swiss when they go to the army. Fifty years straight. Year after year. Over and over. The same exhibition, with the same opening where you will meet the same people, where you will drink the same wine, where you will share the same gossip. Talking with the same students, reading the same magazines and of course being completely aware of this. But pretending it is about “new” things. Not even Ionesco or Beckett could have imagined such an incredibly story. SM: But this is quite horrible, is it not? It sounds like Dante’s Inferno. SM: Yes, a mix between Garcia Marquez and Dante’s

Inferno. Eventually engraved by Gustave Dore’. To live in a Gustave Dore’ wooden engravure (dreaming of Andy Mc Dowell when she was young). Indeed, if you think about it for a second it is a great condition. SM: Not so sure I like it. It is quite challenging indeed. SM: No. I don’t think so. Groundhog Day, Macondo... They are nice references. I could have answered to your question going to Festen (The Celebration). Do you remember it? it was that Danish movie, Dogme #1. The family reunion with the nasty old man... SM: Upon your thinking, Fuori Salone is just like that. Isn’it? SM: Undoubtfully. It is like a family celebration with all kind of different problems. Where everyone hates each other. Still, you are part of the family and there is nothing you can do about it. This is. Nothing more. SM: I am much more positive about Salone. It is like a festival, a celebration, a week-long party. SM: Yes. A celebration. I just observe that it is a quite peculiar celebration. Not so dissimilar from Festen. But then, this is a minor thing. The really exciting thing is the exact repetition year after year. This time element and its mirror feature really fascinates me. I think it is actually very nice. Very exciting. As I said, it’s like being Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Not wanting to repeat myself, but I like Andy Mc Dowell very much. If, at the end of this game of multiple repetitions, mirrored in a never ending loop, I will finally get my Andy Mc Dowell, I will be quite happy. I know this will never happen, still, it is a quite sweet idea to my mind. SM: Thanks. Of course I find your ideas ridiculous, but I understand your point. Thanks for your kindness and see you again next year. SM: Yes. To give, once again, the same answers to the same questions. Jolly good! By the way, have a nice day. SM: You too!

Conversation Piece Chapter 1 On the Doorway Galerie Caroline van Hoek www.conversationpiece.co/

“All handles, no matter how diverse, revolve around the same standard: a steel, oblong, squared profile with base 0.75 x 0.75 cm. This profile, this strandard, was the strartign point: the measure unit around wich “going wild” in making sculptural, unique handles. Materials have great importance when it comes to let the pieces communicate and are used across hierarchies of value. The diverse selection of materials, is to stress the many concepts, feeelings and ideas related to “home”, Home is both a physical and emotonal space. It very private but also pubblic. It is the place of affection but can also be very anonymous, changeable, an empty shell. The door handles, in their diversity, are metaphora of varius, simoultaneous definitions of homes”.

esterni designing a city for all by Lorenzo Castellini (co-founder esterni)

In a week where the best interior design from all over the world is shown, esterni speaks about the design of the public space with its Public Design Festival: 6 days to build everyone’s city – a city that pulses with life from centre to suburbs, that welcomes foreigners and offer services, that features places where people can meet, share and socialize. Among the venues involved by the festival two in particular have had a strong meaning for esterni. The Cavalcavia Bussa (in the Isola district), an urban void over the Garibaldi Rail Station, was transformed into a street public lab, a place where citizens were invited to build a new public space. At disposal pieces of wood cutted in three different lenghts (35; 37,5

and 80 cm), nails, screws and hammers and very simple assembly instructions. After one week the output is terrific. People started from the instructions given by esterni and developed them into new unexpected street furniture. For a week, this space had become the center of the neighborhood life. In Ventura Lambrate district, between via Rubattino and Via Caduti di Marcinelle lies the widest outdoor/covered urban space in the city of Milan, right under the access road of the eastern bypass (Tangenziale est). The area was turned into an accomodation and reception spot open to everyone. The Public Camping is a nomadic service conceived to fit different places in the city, like

empty urban spaces, abandoned factories, public parks. Thanks to this simple and flexible solution (wooden platform used as camping site), a camping with 100 tent sites can be built up in less than 48 hours. Almost 200 young designers from all over the World (China, Brazil, Mexico, Korea, Netherlands, UK and many other countries) were hosted by esterni in the Public Camping.

EIGHT TIPS by Prof. Kuno Prey (designer)

The nature of designers is characterized by curiosity, which turns many of them into passionate collectors of little and larger things. Designers are eager to experience, which – ideally – is the basis for their attitude and personal approach to project. Here some advice, which was gathered from my personal experience and which I would like to share with young designers

1_Be curious: explore and take apart things to better understand how they work 2_Question everything, even the questions you are asked. Question yourself 3_You do not know everything, therefore ask 4_Be generous and fear no imitators 5_Talk to people, even in languages you are not familiar with 6_Try everything before you claim to know.Document what you do 7_Ask a lot from yourself. Never be satisfied with the first solution 8_Educate yourself, listen and read

Stitched Chair by Tord Boontje Moroso “For a long time, I have been interested in sewing and embroidery. When I was a child, my mother would show me how to sew and I made some clothes for myself (with her help). More recently I have used embroidery in my work on textiles and fur niture. This time I started to think in a more functional way about sewing, the idea of creat ing holes in materials and connecting pieces with yarns. I realized that by stitching plywood components together it would be possible to create strong structures for furniture�. www.tordboontje.com/ www.moroso.it/

SCOUTING Dominic Wilcox

Speed creating London, Uk variationsonnormal.com/speed-creating/

“Each day for 30 days I will make a new object, installation or creative intervention while going about my daily life. At home, in the studio, on the train or wherever my day takes me, I will attempt to make something that interests me creatively and then quickly document it on the M&M website (and here) via photographs, drawings or video. Each day I will receive a small budget of £10 for materials. I believe that this self-imposed project with it’s constraints on time and money will force me to take an instinctive and experimental approach. The fear of failure and the usual time spent thinking through the potential pitfalls of a project will not be an option and I will need to react swiftly to my thoughts, observations and experimental outcomes discovered along the way. I am not focused solely on the final objects or images but on the creative journey I take. Complete failures are expected and embraced. I will document each day on this site but more pictures and details will be on the soon to be launched www. mestakesandmanifestos.com/”.

OK by Fabio Novembre Kartell “Some say it comes from the language of some native American people or from the Bantu of African slaves or even from the American civil war but others maintain that it is simply the opposite of KO. The fact is that OK has become the universal positive principle associated with the gesture of the closed hand with the thumb pointing upwards. That opponent thumb means that man is capable of any kind of grip and it distinguishes primates from the other animals. In this moment of darkness, trying to freeze that gesture by pressing it into a cube of transparent polycarbonate produced by rotational moulding has propitiatory worth… thanks, Monsieur Baldaccini, it’s all OK!” www.novembre.it/ www.kartell.it/

SPECIAL GUEST FORMAFANTASMA Botanica for Fondazione Plart Eindhoven, nl www.formafantasma.com/ www.plart.it

“Botanica is the latest project by studio FormaFantasma, commissioned by Plart, an Italian foundation dedicated to scientific research and technological innovation in the recovery, restoration and conservation of works of art and design produced in plastic. Maria Pia Incutti, founder of Plart and Marco Petroni, curator of the project, commissioned the studio to create their own personal interpretation of polymeric materials. The perception of plastic materials has drastically changed over time. Initially considered the material of the future, synthetic polymers are now seen as the symbol of a not anymore exciting oil era. Scientific research is increasingly looking to find sustainable alternatives or ways to make plastic biodegradable. In opposition to this, the Plart foundation is addresses another necessity with its activities and research: to preserve plastic-based art and design pieces. The tension between the need to find valid alternatives to an extraordinary material, and to preserve the artworks of the last century underlines how deeply both the qualities and disadvantages of plastic have penetrated into our culture. Most of the objects we use daily are made of plastic, and though the material may take a different form, plastic will remain relevant as we move forward. With Botanica Studio Formafantasma is giving its personal homage to plastic materials by investigating the history of polymers. Botany, as a discipline, began with early human efforts to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making it one of the oldest sciences. More

then two centuries ago plants started to be categorized also for their secretions, a possible source of material. The objects displayed in the Botanica collection are designed as if the oil- based era, in which we are living, never took place. Almost as if historians, Studio Formafantasma investigated the pre-Bakelite period, discovering unexpected textures, feelings and technical possibilities offered by natural polymers extracted from plants or animal-derivatives. The designers researched and hunted for information, digging into the 18th and 19th centuries, when scientists began experimenting draining plants and animals in search for plasticity. Rosin, Dammar, Copal (a sub-fossil state of amber), Natural Rubber, Shellac (a polymer extracted from insect excrement that colonize trees) and Bois Durci (a 19th century material composed of wood dust and animal blood), are amongst others, materials investigated by the studio. The organic details and plant-like forms of the pieces underline the vegetal and animal origins of the resins, while the palette of colours is based on natural amber tones in combination with traditional materials such as wood, ceramic and metal�.

Mitose by Amba Molly This Way Design Academy Eindhoven “Can products, like people, fertilise each other and grow into something new? Amba Molly has designed a system of moulds based on human cell division. She started with four products that came from two worlds; the industrial and the traditional world. A plastic bottle merged with an oil jar and a Tupperware pitcher connected with a hand-turned earthenware water jug. By dividing her moulds systematically, Amba has created sixty building blocks that can be stacked to form new products time and again. During four stages of mitosis the products will keep on blending, creating a new family called Mitose with a new DNA along the way. SM’s - Stedelijk Museum ‘s-Hertogenbosch / NL”.

He was pensioned off after a 140,000 hour non-stop career in a Chinese production line. Dirk van der Kooij has given him new software and with that, a new lease of life as a prototyping machine. Normally speaking, rapid prototyping is unsuitable for large-scale production: constructing 3D-models in extremely high resolutions is too time-consuming and costly. But Fanuc has a much lower resolution, which allows him to produce robust models at a steady pace. The coarse structure reveals how the product has been constructed layer by layer. Endless combines the flexibility of traditional workmanship with the speed of industrial production”. Photo René van der Hulst www.dirkinvorm.nl/ www.designacademy.nl/

Hemp house and Hemp Chair by Werner Aisslinger Poetry Happens “Design history is driven by new technologies and material innovation. For us designers, the advent of these technologies has always been the starting point for new objects and typologies in design. The sustainable sheet material of the *hemp chair* allows the use of more than 70% natural fibers in combination with BASF’s water- based acrylic resin Acrodur. Unlike with classic reactive resins, this method releases no organic substances such as phenol or formaldehyde during the cross- linking process. The only by-product of the curing procedure is water. Furthermore, the industrial process of compression molding accounts for low-cost mass production of three-dimensional objects with high mechanical resistance and very low specific weight. This production method is widespread in the automobile industry. Natural fiber composites are often used in lightweight components such as door linings, glove compartments or rear shelves�. www.aisslinger.de/ www.poetry-happens.com/

SCOUTING Innovo Lei Christoph Jovana From Yuhang Paper Umbrella Yuhang,Hangzhou,China www.innovo-design.com

“In august 2010 we visited a small village in the Yuhang area, China. There we met 4 craftsmen who were producing original Yuhang paper umbrellas. But actually, those umbrellas disappeared already for about 50 years from the public society. According to the today’s requirements they are too heavy, too low quality and just too old-fashioned. So our goal is to help them, to change it. Right away we started this project. For 2 moths we were living and working with the craftsmen, using all their techniques and learning from their experiences. Finally we created new designs by keeping the traditional roots. During this process we also found some details, materials and functions which we transferred into other products such as lamps, storage, trash bin and even chair. We are searching for the future of the traditional paper umbrella”.

Daily Haptics by Marie Rouillon Textile Futures “In the digitalized world we live in, our senses are less and less triggered. The interactions that we entertain with everyday devices are lacking sensibility, tactility, sensory experiences. Senses are just like muscles, if we don’t exercise them, they loose strength ! We might end up in loosing them if we loose our awareness of their importance. Skin is our largest sense organ, and we experience the world through it. As a textile designer, I am particularly interested in what we call the sense(s) of « touch ». (Which probably includes hundreds of different senses : our fingertips for instance can feel warmth, cold, pleasure, pain, pressure, and an infinite array of textures). How sad is that we are loosing our awareness of this plurality? Moreover, the sense of touch is critical for human functioning at many different levels, from controlling the body to perceiving the environment. Through my design, I am creating tactile experiences in order to reconnect people with tactility, and make them aware of this ability they don’t pay attention to anymore”. www.marierouillon.com/

SCOUTING Maarten De Ceulaer The Balloon Bowls Brussels, Be www.maartendeceulaer.com/

“The Balloon Bowls are created by casting mass-colored, strong synthetic plaster into a balloon, after which a second balloon is inserted, and inflated. These two balloons act as flexible moulds, resulting in always unique shapes for the bowls. Once the plaster is hard, the balloons are removed, and a bowl appears. The colorants come out completely different each time again as well, with spectaculair and uncontrolled colour patterns as a result. The bowls are finished with a special coating which reinforces the plaster, makes it waterproof and usable. The process is an experimental review of a traditional ceramic practice; instead of using porcelain or clay, it takes plaster as an end material, not just as an inferior material to make moulds with. The project is all about serendipity; the parameters that influence the process are known, but still the result is always a guess, and never turns out exactly the way you want it. A simple technique which creates unique items over and over again�.

Domestica by Formafantasma Dilmos “The reference is to the Gerla Basket, a container usually used by farmers to collect harvested cereals and transported as a bag-pack. In some region of north of Italy, the Gerla basket has in time assumed other connotations and it is often considered as a symbol of the Italian resistance movement during World War II. Woman were in-fact using the basket to bring foods and ammunition to partisan forces formed by proAllied Italians. As a reference to this historical connotation a little Italian flag is stitched on the military-green blanket that finish the upper part of the basket. The design of the seat refers to a small stool used as a support to help take off the Gerla basket once it is full. More then designed, Domestica appears as the result of a natural gesture, as if the basket is hung on the back of a chair and, as time passes, the two objects are fused together. The design of the object and its undefined functionality invites the user to invent new gestures and rituals. Such rituals are stimulated by ancient memories evoked by the familiarity of an object rooted in tradition. As with the previous work of the Studio, Domestica re-introduces objects from rural culture into contemporary life�. www.formafantasma.com/ www.dilmos.com/

black thick glasses as cavour by Beniamino Marini (news editor Vogue.it)

When I was still a student in high school, true snobs didn’t even care about the Salone del Mobile. Even the word “Mobile” (which means “furniture”) made people think about provincial carpentries and TV promos for furniture department stores – those with cheerleaders doing choreographies that aired on minor networks. Then the ‘90s came (and also the Dutch architects dressed in black), and so the people from Milan, with red pants and boat shoes, realized that the Salone was “in”. Perhaps even more “in” than fashion. So Italian designers, journalists, workers of the field – but even simple “crashers” – starting dressing in black too. Black, thick glasses, like Cavour or Le Corbu. Ten years of total black.

A geological era, if you compare it to the fashion weeks, where trends last a semester. Year two thousand: everyone becomes free. A self-imposed concession that has lasted until today, where the new casual entries and beginners in jeans and t-shirts, like Yves Béhar, coexist with fashion revelations that look eclectic and all-embracing, like Bethan Laura Wood, young woman from London that puts on the Memphis-meets-Gilbertand-George geo-prints not only on the rolled sections (by Abet) of her creations, but also in the clothing she wears. But it’s the so-called “fixed points” that are the true arbiters of the Milan style during fashion week. Those characters that will never stop being

fashionable at the Salone: observers, dealers, and heirs of great fortunes – at least artistic ones. The ones that are around the design and social scene all year long. And that season after season built an original image, taking from fashion just what they need. That’s the ethnic ultrachic of Nina Yashar, owner of the Nilufar gallery, who gives eastbound interpretations of her friend Miuccia Prada’s creations. The rough dandyism of Barnaba Fornasetti, son of the genius Piero, who always wears striped jackets and ultra decorated scarves. The structured and conceptual jackets matched with wide Alaia-like skirts of the design critic Cristina Morozzi, the always present design-doyenne in every respectable opening, unmistakable with her white hair.

He has created a scale model of Eindhoven and assigned it the role of sound recorder; the buildings create the score. Placed on a revolving wooden cylinder the buildings set little hammers in motion that play the keys of a piano. And turning and turning, the city makes its voice heard: from loud to soft, long to short, highpitched to low, translating the urban developers’ three-dimensional reality into an aural experience.

we wish achille was still with us... by Fabio Cocchi and Luigi Rotta (founders dovetusai)

Salone del Mobile is certainly one of the most exciting experience to live in Milan. In those days the city is really amazing, a beautiful melting pot of visitors. It’s New York... but in Europe, it’s Paris or London... but in Italy. This year, celebrating its 50th Anniversary, we could have expected great installations and settings. Thanks God this did not happen. “We all want products” everybody seemed to say up and down the streets, among the thousands presentations. Good new products from established companies and inventive projects from young designers, this is the request... Trying to recover from the economic downturn some companies hired famous designers. As we know, this does not always work. On the

contrary, you get the idea they all look the same. Only in a few cases, when the art direction was very precise and coherent , brilliant results were generated. As for young designers, it’s always magic to spot a few great talents among the hundreds who try to show their projects during the worldwide most important event of the year! Some foreign schools are really very good in teaching and directing their students.... We wonder what’s happening to Italian young designers though... Maybe we should all look back and learn from old masters... Technology is great, but we don’t have to forget what design means. Art is great but design implies function. And being professional...for sure. Maddalena De Padova used

to say “Not everybody understands how hard this job is, how difficult to be yourself...”. It really takes a lot of passion, poetry and professional attitude. We wish Achille was still with us...

The Story Vases by Front and the Siyazama Project for Editions in Craft Spazio Rossana Orlandi “The project began with a series of conversations in Durban between Anna, Sofia and Charlotte from Front and Beauty, Thokozani, Kishwepi, Tholiwe, Lobolile of the Siyazama Project, a collective of women working with traditional beadcraft. They told about their daily lives, their husbands and children. They shared their hopes and dreams, and talked about love, life and death. Their stories also touch on such serious subjects as the effect of HIV on their society, gender, poverty and unemployment. They talked about their businesses and what beadwork meant to them. Each of the vases tells a part of these stories, and documents the daily life of women in rural, post apartheid South Africa. Each woman formed their own story into text by threading glass beads on to metal wires. These wires were made into vase-shaped moulds, into which glass was blown. With the Story Vases, Front used its conceptual approach to design, material and narrative to explore new ways of working with Zulu beadcraft in collaboration with the Siyazama. This long-term project aims to broaden the market for the women’s craft and to let their stories, which are seldom told, be heard by more people”. www.designfront.org/ www.editionsincraft.com/
