MITTELEUROPA DESIGN… CONTRASTI
Young european designers introduced by Beatrix Donaubauer |
Beatrix Donaubauer presents the project Mitteleuropa Design…Contrasti, a selected group of young artists and designers of different nationality; italian, german, austrians and swisses unite themselves in this proposal after to be chosen from international fairs and events.
Mitteleuropea Design…Contrasti includes furniture and furnishing complements, sculptures, light-objects, porcelain, glass and jewelry.
The elements which unite all these very different objects, although used a very different language, is the strong creative personality, the ironic point of view, the citing of wellknown themes, and the recovery of forms and materials. The personal way of creating new forms, the use of traditional materials worked on with todays technics, nostalgic ornaments and decoration transformed by using todays signs and grafics, all these components are important for this group to create new objects.
Lucy D transforms traditional floral decoration of ordinary, everyday porcelain into ironic, very much todays look by changing the surfaces of the plates and by adding grafic signs. This idea to transform the same table from everyday use to a festive banquet scene is the principal objective of two designers, Barbara Ambrosz and Karin Stiglmair, that conformed this laboratory of Vienna. Two of their labors to the exhibition are: Tabula - the functions of the table are continually changing, festivity and dining, working and depositing objects on it, and Ryker - different shaped and sized parts of normal, daily-use porcelain, that it previews the application of graphical elements on the surface of the plate.
Markus Graf intervenes and modifies public and urban spaces with his colourful lean-on forms. Its new proposition is Club - a lean-on furniture for public and semi-public urban space. This author works together to Koelmel with the Design Office g: k. Rimini and Ruth are examples of this labors.
Mathias Bader interprets the luminous sphere like a possible alphabet of materials and aerial shapes. This architect and designer shows with Cap, Coco and Rudolph his interesting for the theme of light, in the participations of architecture and of product design.
Kay Thoss translates graphic elements into material with which he builds his lights, weightless seeming chairs and tables. In the projects of design it prefers the reduction of the materials thinking the own jobs like instruments in order to provoke reactions and to trigger emotions. With this idea, this author propose the small tables with structure partly covered by a semi-transparent glass-house textile.
Beat Karrer bends metal-sheets to make them become soft-feeling chairs and transparent bookcase. In the spirit of his own studio, Karrer plans and creates innovative interior and exhibition designs working on his own as well as in collaboration with a team of proven specialists. The approach to the design of Karrer privileges the reduction of the materials in the conceptual development of the product: one chosen of artistic nature and to save the resources.
Sandra Grandesso challenger the strength and hardness of iron by working on its surface adding strong, very personal ornaments and colours. The ferrous sculptures - that they take shape like silhouette, or as thread wrapped in ball that are closed in if same and in which the metal cohabits with materials several that they derive from the nature, from alimentary field or from that artificial one -, they are their sorgive mixtures in a position to assuming and to lose original I use assuming an other value. She loves to confront the material directly, using a few instruments to shape, bend and cut the iron that is often only some millimetres.
Beatrix Donaubauer changes the worthiness of jewerly by using silver and paper, transforming traditional necklaces into light, colourful and amusing ornaments. The illumination are born for introduce light, mediterranean taste and poetry; the bases are cut out of heavy steel tubes, left to rust outside, brushed down with a steel brush and treated with bees wax to stop them from rusting any further and to make them pleasant to touch. The other object presented is a jewel: a choker in cool silver with strongly painted, coloured paper that found a possibility of creating a light-jewel, easy to wear and light to feel.
