EDITORIAL

The inside word

NEWS bite Check out the latest edition from the studio of Melbourne lighting designer Volker Haug. These ‘Daisy’ lights incorporate electrical wiring and, from what we understand, a big pair of knitting needles! See more online at volkerhaug.com.

It’s official: we, as a design community, have a whole lot going on. If it isn’t trade fairs and festivals, then it’s product launches and parties. And, if you think the first half of 2010 was busy... just wait for the second half!

In April this year, I was lucky enough to attend the Milan Furniture Fair (yes, volcanic ash and all), which was one of the most educational and exhausting experiences I’ve ever had. What was the best thing you saw? is the common question I encounter and, I have to say, it’s a hard one to tackle. The sheer size of the fair, not to mention the multitude of events, exhibitions, and installations throughout Milan, makes it impossible to name a single outstanding element. There were so many!

But, if I had to pinpoint one thing, it would be the people: the designers, their stories, their work, their dynamism and personality. We stole 20 minutes with Patricia Urquiola and – I’ll never forget – she said how impressed she was by the intelligence and business acumen of women in Australia. Another favourite was Thomas Heatherwick, who gave us the inside word on his ‘Spun’ chair for Magis (page 16), and the British Pavilion for the World Expo in Shanghai (page 12). In covering (or should I say containing!)

Milan within DQ, we have cut right to the chase, and brought you the products. It only partially captures our week of Milan madness, but provides a great overview of furniture, lighting, kitchens, bathrooms and installations. The coverage is not to be missed, page 46.

At this point we’d like to extend special thanks to Hansgrohe who sponsored DQ’s trip to Europe, touring us through their amazing headquarters and factories in Germany, before sending us onward to Milan. While visiting the Hansgrohe HQ we were introduced to some really interesting collaborations between world famous designers and Axor, Hansgrohe’s luxury brand. In particular was Patricia Urquiola’s bathroom collection, which was on show in Milan, and can be found on page 48.

And, if you think this is enough for one year, then think again. Saturday in Design 2010 is almost upon us, and will be taking Melbourne by storm, 6 – 7 August. Saturday in Design poses the perfect opportunity to visit the showrooms you never get to see, engage with the designers, specifiers and suppliers you’ve been meaning to meet, and connect with the creative community.

A major part of Saturday in Design is The Project, which joins designers and suppliers at the drawing board, to create amazing installations in showroom spaces. This year The Project is themed ‘Motion’, and we’re really curious to see what you’re going to come up with. So much so, that we’ve put it out there and asked you what ‘Motion’ inspires in you. Flick to page 54 for more.

Last but not least, we have some really big news for you. DQ magazine now has an online alter ego, that is, a brand new blog. We’re really excited about it, and we’re itching to share it with you. So, don’t delay, get online and check out our regular design updates! Visit designquarterly.com.au.

Stephanie Donald elates simple, everyday elements by playing with context and altering perception.

Andrea Stevens explores her ideas-driven approach.

S

tephanie Donald’s career as an object designer has seen her jewellery sold by Idée in Tokyo and Barneys in New York, her ‘Tangent’ table featured in Tokyo Designers Block, and her ‘Soft Cell’ wall tile at 100% Design. Locally, she has produced an acclaimed range of porcelain tableware, collectible handmade greeting cards, and is currently contract designing for two local furniture manufacturers.

“I don’t see myself as one thing. I am interested in objects and to see how far I can push an idea. I choose materials and scales that will express the idea.” She has incredible freedom in New Zealand to do this. Without the weight of tradition, a freshness and openness exists culturally. Her Kiwi ‘can do’ attitude underlies her approach and innovation. Donald has always found local manufacturers keen to try out new ideas, not put off by small runs. She has worked with boat builders, industrial carpet cutters and metal workers to achieve her conceptually driven designs.

There is a lot of playfulness in her work, and a transfer of ideas across genres.

Donald finds possibilities for 3D renderings in diverse sources – from flat-pack folding patterns, Agnes Martin paintings, to everyday objects.

In her ‘wallpaper’ and ‘wood’ tableware series, and ‘Anti-k’ lamps, she embosses wallpaper and timber patterns onto a porcelain surface. A paper-like appearance and translucency belie their weight and strength.

In 2009 Fletcher Systems approached her to rework her ‘Tangent’ table for commercial release. The triangulated metal defies gravity. Its skewed perspective and tiptoeing feet trick the eye. “The original prototype played with illusion so that it didn’t look like it was level, and that it may not be a safe surface to put a cup on,” describes Donald. “The difference between initially looking at something, versus the reality of physically engaging with it, is what interests me.”

Donald is currently designing another light fitting. The colours and forms of Ellsworth Kelly and John Drawbridge are inspiration for the folding paper light. Like 1960s Kinetic Art, its colours change as the observer moves around the object. “A light can be a dynamic, suspended piece in a room,” says Donald. “With this design I wanted to play with colour and form so that the two together make a simple but effective statement.”

Whether a taut geometrical play, an inventive surface treatment, or a new application of a material, Donald engages people’s imagination and cleverly shifts their perceptions. “I want to see how far I can push an idea, and to question our confidence in familiar objects.”

Are curvy surfaces set to be

the only outcome of these new techniques?

05

These are little arrows which the designers oriented along circulation routes and around the existing column grid which eroded a virtual solid (as required to fulfil the brief). UFO designed it very quickly. Setting up the initial script is the time-consuming part, they say.

Deploying it is the time-saver.

Architect Steven Hatzellis teaches digital design at the University of Melbourne (UM). Hatzellis is also Director of WSH Architecture, which is currently staffed by former students. The PhD facility fit-out for UM’s Arts Department demonstrates scripting and parametric design in two ways. First, a Grasshopper script written by a former student was used to design the four-storey fit-out in just one day. All that was left was to tweak the controls within Grasshopper to make whole rooms within the existing shell, or a ceiling treatment to conceal the services. Hatzellis and his team also wrote a script that used Flash and Photoshop in combination with a website called Kuler.com to generate the colour scheme.

Zaha Hadid once said, “the most important thing is motion, the flux of things, a non-Euclidean geometry in which nothing repeats itself: a new order of space”. Are curvy surfaces set to be the only outcome of these new

techniques? I asked Barata if any of his students ever came up with recti-linear designs using Grasshopper, and the answer was an emphatic “yes”.

What about other important things, like sustainable design? Barata gave the example of façades which are generated using the constraints of climate, site and orientation as parameters, creating intelligent surfaces which open or close to the sun and breeze as needed.

As these examples show, the world is on the precipice of achieving a synthesis between digital dreams and manufactured reality – and not just sexy curves!

Hungry for

77-88 Features.indd 83

“There is no food design,” said Pierre Hermé, creator of Paris’ most famously sculptural pastries, before a crowd of design-loving gourmets. This was at France’s foremost design fair, the Salon Maison et Objets 2010, which for the second year running devoted a conference, known as ‘Paris des Chefs’, to food design.

From Milan to Melbourne, no major design event seems complete these days without food crossing over into the world of design, from pasta saunas and landmark architectural jellies, extending all the way to edible make-up lessons.

So, while chefs like Hermé might be denying its very existence, the design industry is hungrily developing a taste for exploring edible materials.

Chef as Food Designer Contemporary chefs of the Ferran Adrià school of cooking have been engaging in their form of food design for some time, influenced by the study of food science. The head chef of El Bulli in Barcelona, widely regarded as the best restaurant in the world, is the creator of a highly influential food movement known as molecular gastronomy, which has been incorporating chemistry into the kitchen for the last two decades.

Flaming frozen sorbets and edible seashores featuring sounds of the sea played on shells fitted with iPods are the signature dining room experiences created by the 3 Michelin-starred chef, Heston Blumenthal. For Blumenthal (who is the owner of Fat Duck in Berkshire, London), food provides the means to design theatrical eating experiences.

Whether it’s tantalising diners’ taste buds by playing with the effects of aroma, or surprising guests with edible ‘plastic’ sweet wrappers that they pop into their mouths, when it comes to inciting sentiments in a chef’s subjects, food as a design material proves the most effective tool of all.

Eating Designer While chefs might be adopting design principles in their kitchens, a new breed of designer is approaching edible materials with much the same fervour. One designer renowned for her ‘createring’ is Marije Vogelzang, founder of Amsterdam-based Proef (meaning ‘tasting’ in Dutch).

Trained at Design Academy Eindhoven, Vogelzang refers to herself as an ‘eating designer’ as her designs focus around the verb ‘to eat’. She creates thought-provoking food experiences and installations played out at her studio-cumrestaurant and the world over, inspired by the origins and traditions of food, as well as its ability to arouse emotions in eaters.

At New York’s Performa, the annual performance festival which was themed around Futurism last year, Vogelzang sought her inspiration from the Italian Futurists who demanded a ban on pasta, which they believed made Italians indolent. Vogelzang’s response celebrated this very manifesto, calling on visitors to be as lethargic as they liked, immersed in a sauna created from the steam used in the boiling of the pasta.

designer and the viewers, food can prove an effective way of bridging that gap.

Such was the founding principle for ‘Food for Thought’, an ever-evolving project by Sydney-based architects Tom Rivard and Michael Lewarne, which will set sail for the Venice Biennale this September.

It is a migratory experiment that inhabits an urban space offering soup in exchange for answers to questions on urban planning. In this literal take on the ‘food for thought’ principle, food becomes the catalyst for ideas, discussion and action, as well as congregation in a community.

Appetising Architecture Jelly ‘mongers’ and trained architects Sam Bompas and Harry Parr are creators of whimsical worlds built from wobbling architectural icons.

The pair debuted their designs, made from bespoke jelly moulds, at the Jelly Banquet at the London Festival of Architecture in 2008, where they asked distinguished architects to design jelly replicas of famous structures. “Lord Foster’s entry was particularly ambitious, representing his notorious wobbly Millennium Bridge,” says Bompas.

Two years down the track and the concepts keep getting wackier. This year’s edition culminated in a gigantic punch bowl and a walk-in cocktail known as ‘Alcoholic Architecture’.
