157+173 designers: LINE_01 book
whois: 157+173 designers 157+173 designers is a design studio run by Babis Papanikolaou and Christina Tsirangelou, settled in Thessaloniki since 2009. 157+173 designers design and manufacture products, of high aesthetic and quality and they constantly aim to experiment with a variety of forms, materials and construction solutions. Ideas are tested, redesigned and therefore developed into real objects, by using the local light industry, as means of production, while the items are treated with the care of a handmade object during montaging. Their products are seen as simple and useful, yet designed with a smart way, to be compatible with a contemporary view, and be accessible to the modern era public. These are, both mass produced -upon order- objects, as well as limited or special one-off copies. They mainly participate with their work, in commercial and promotional design events, both in Greece and around Europe. Along with product design, they also take part in exhibitions, with artistic work and installations. They also intend in running design related workshops, as well as taking part in architectural and product design competitions. Their work, has been presented so far, through a long catalogue of national and international newspapers, magazines and design issues, as well as in educational institutes.

Line 01: 2d* and Concrete* 157+173 designers The specificity of the first series, Line 01_2010, is the re-synthesis of -usually unidentified- objects’ forms, along with originally designed objects, through the two dimensional display logic. The bare construction materials, wood and metal, deliberately betray their origins, as a key part of the products’ aesthetic quality. Objects are made off simple materials and creative design, to derive a fresh disposal. 2d* products consist of wooden lights and useful household items, such as doorstops and serving trays. They are influenced by a surrealistic scene of the «modern times» movie, by Charlie Chaplin, where by a machine error, items are compressed by the baler, thus creating two-dimensional forms of objects. Through this humorous approach, the 2d* products are designed in a way that where its basic form looks two-dimensional, while in the back-where necessary- the operational structure of objects is visible. Concrete* products, consist of concrete lights, which can be also used as pencil boxes. Concrete is used as forming material, of small scale objects of the series, thus it stops to remind the busy urban landscape aesthetic, and gets a new dimension.
