Collaboration-S: Out of home
‘Satelliet Meubelen’ challenged students and graduates to design a furniture concept with the material Resysta. Resysta is a technical and ecological alternative for wood; made out of rice brans, halite, and mineral oils. The jury, with among others Simone de Waart from Material Sense, judged the submissions and selected the 11 finalists. On Saturday the 19th of October, the winner of the challenge will be announced and the exhibition of the results can be visited.
Moving Materials: The Laser Cutting Edition
What are the possibilities of laser cutting within the world of design? In a master class in Lancaster (UK), participants experimented with engraving, flexibility and the creation of connections through laser cutting. The Moving Materials master class was developed and guided by Simone de Waart from Material Sense in collaboration with the Dutch company Snijlab. During the DDW you can see experiments of the master class and new materials from ‘de Factorij’ in Eindhoven (NL) Read more > Agenda
