About Drift:
Both graduates from the Design Academy Eindhoven, Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijn founded Studio DRIFT together with the vision of creating design that reacts to and questions human behavior in 2006. Nauta's expertise in crafts, materials and production techniques, and Gordijn's sense for shapes and strong concepts complement one another. Their designs amalgamate nature and technology, ideology and reality. Their aim is to make original and passionate designs, using the best materials and the latest production technologies.
Highlights of Design Days Dubai:
Performance Carwan Gallery presents Gradient Mashrabiya consisting of 650°© wooden pieces found by 2 Austrian desigers put together and produced by a Lebanese carpenter. Booth Number: A12
“In this time of information overload and exaggerated senses, we hope that our work emphasizes the metaphysical quality of human sensations, that it establishes a point of balance in the midst of the contradictions of daily life, and that it stresses immaterial spiritual and emotional values. Because of these goals, light has been one of our favourite mediums; light expresses emotions in a very direct way.’’
A research exercise by Pink Tank and Fikra into open/collaborative forms of design in the Arab world On the occasion of the first edition of Design Days Dubai, Pink Tank and Fikra will be launching ADaM v1.0. The Arab Design Map project maps out collaborations and connections between designers in the region. ADaM v1.0 will be an investiga=tion of the relationships between designers in the region and their community to discover connections and what comes out of these connections. At Design Days Dubai, the methodology of the mapping project will be explore through an installation. ADaM is the first visual representation effort of design networks in this region.
Performance: Drift Design presents ShyLight Booth Number: A13
“We are curious about the future, not only the new technologies that are changing design, but also the evolutionary developments in nature and human culture. We strive to find the perfect combination of knowledge and intuition, science fiction and nature, fantasy and interactivity. Our goal is to create a dialogue between the viewer and the objects we create, embodied in tangible objects that refer to realities that are often impenetrable and difficult to understand.’’ Ralph Nauta & Lonneke Gordijn.
Studio DRIFT’s work includes the Flylight, Fragile Futura 3 (FF3), Shylight, Dandelight and the Ghost collection. Their most widely known work FF3 is made with real dandelion seeds that are attached to the light by hand, one by one. Since 2006 their work has been exhibited at leading museums and fairs worldwide, including the Victoria & Albert Museum London, Salone del Mobile Milan, World Expo Shanghai, Design/ Miami, Boijmans van Beuningen museum, Design Week Tokyo, Design Act Moscow, Museum of Arts & Design New York and The Israel Museum. DRIFT has been awarded several times for their designs, including ‘Light of the’ from the German Design Council in 2008 for Fragile Future. In 2010 Nauta and Gordijin’s Fragile Future Concrete Chandelier won ‘The Moet Hennessy Pavillion of Art and Design London Prize’ and was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in Lodnon. Most recently, Fragile Future 3.5 won the 1st prize (audience award) at the ZomerExpo, Gemeentemuseum The Hague. DRIFT’s Fragile Future series is developed in collaboration with the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London and Paris. The GHOST collection is represented by Patrick Brillet Fine Art Gallery.
American University of Sharjah (Booth Number A38) College of Art, Architecture & Design, Sharjah, U.A.E. The College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) at the American University of Sharjah (AUS) is committed to redefining education and creative practice in the region. Design faculty and students at CAAD have a history of making in applied and aesthetic contexts that contribute significantly to the regional and international material culture made in the Gulf. The cross-disciplinary special topics course Form, Furniture and Graphics integrates principles ofgraphic and typographic form with furniture design. The goal is to expand the definition of furniture beyond normative function toward
Studio mischer'traxler teamed up with a Lebanese woodworker to redefine the constructive system of the mashrabiyas. Mashrabiyas are delicate wooden screens often found in Middle Eastern architecture. Made of many small lathed wooden elements connected together, these fine lattice works are realised by skilled woodworkers and thus form an important position within traditional Middle Eastern craftsmanship. Inspired by the process of lathing the small wooden parts for mashrabiyas, mischer'traxler focused on representing all steps of production, to make the craftsmen's work visible and understandable to the observer. The result a sideboard is composed of a network of more than 650 different single pieces of manually hand carved wood. It shows all production stages from rectangular slat to refined lathed decorative elements within the one object. With each stage, the sideboard's pattern gets more and more defined, detailed and fragile but at the same time more and more three-dimensional. A transformation from a quite simple table to a complex, detailed and decorative piece of furniture.

Exhibitions:
Tashkeel, Dubai, U.A.E. (Booth Number A37) Since October 2011 Tashkeel has offered three projects which exemplify its commitment to promoting the work of artists and designers in the region, facilitating cross° cultural dialogue and bringing art and design to the wider community. The Khatt Foundation Type Design Workshop provided an opportunity for thirty graphic design students and practicing professionals to develop contemporary Arabic fonts. Design Road Dubai was a five-day programme, which included an exhibition, seven parallel workshops and a series of seminars. The “Skate Biladi’’ project represents an initiative specifically designed to raise awareness of art and design in the wider community, and to encourage both creative and physical activity.
The university is a hub for excellence in education & research in Art & Design that envisions a Qatari society which advances through art and design. VCUQatars educational focus on design thinking & creative processes to sustain successful economic & cultural growth. Furniture collection by Director of Fine arts, Constantin Boym and Laurene Boym uses as starting point the Autoprogettazione concept by celebrated master of Modernism, Italian designer Enzo Mari. In 1974, Mari published a set of his design drawings, calling on consumers to make furniture on their own, and to customize it according to one’s personal cultural tastes. Working with local craftsmen and students, we overlay Mari's designs with motifs of traditional Arabic craft: henna decorations, patterns of brass tacks, sadu cushions—to achieve unexpected and provocative results.
ECAL, Ecole Cantonale d’art de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland (Booth Number A37)
The ECAL/University of Art and Design features among the world’s top 10 Universities of Art and Design. For its first ever show in the Gulf Region, ECAL has chosen Design Days Dubai, in order to present a selection of projects created by the students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design and Luxury Industry. Made in collaboration with major international luxury brands such as Baccarat, Swarovski, Bernardaud, Hublot, Christofle or TAG aviation, the students’ works show a fresh take on the future of luxury and craftsmanship.
