Carbon Assimilating Structure
Posted in: UncategorizedThe Propagate Tower explores carbon-capturing technology that would allow harmful greenhouse gases to be converted into usable building materials! It starts as a simple vertical scaffold of carbon-capturing material. Required ingredients for propagation are supplied through the scaffold, while its actual pattern of growth is defined by environmental factors such as wind, weather & the saturation of carbon dioxide within the immediate atmosphere. Each resulting structure is sui generis in its formal expression, while maintaining a regular spatial organization for ease of adaptation.

Nika Zupanc bases furniture collection for Sé on “an imaginary private sports club”
Posted in: Milan 2014, Sé, slideshowsMilan 2014: Slovenian designer Nika Zupanc has created a collection of furniture and products for London design label Sé, influenced by Modernism and sporting motifs (+ slideshow).
Zupanc designed pieces including an armchair, sofa, cabinet, table lamp and a mirror for the collection, which is the third to be launched by Sé since it was founded in 2007.
Sé cofounder Pavlo Schtakleff first came across Zupanc’s work in 2011 and said he was keen to work with her because of her “distinct design language”, but also because he wanted to work with more female designers.
“I was particularly interested in collaborating with a female designer,” Schtakleff said. “Sometimes overlooked within the industry, I felt this would introduce a fresh perspective to the collection; however Nika’s creativity and approach spoke for themselves.”
Last week Dezeen columnist Kieran Long criticised the dearth of work by female designers on shown in Milan and included Zupanc on a list of women who design brands should consider working with in the future.
For this collection, Zupanc drew on the simplicity of 1950s Modernist furniture and combined this stylistic reference with forms intended to evoke a fictional private sports club.
“With Collection III, I wanted to blend timeless elegance, sensitivity and tenderness with a splash of smoky, determined and even masculine reality,” explained the designer.
Materials including marble, brass and wood are used throughout the collection to add a sense of luxury and emphasise the craftsmanship involved in the production of the pieces.
The collection includes a dressing table – the first to be produced by Sé – which features a mirror comprising two offset intersecting circles and a straight central section that provide reflections from different angles.
A curving sofa upholstered in a textured gold fabric is supported by solid brass legs, while mirrors are framed in metallic laurel wreaths in reference to the prizes awarded to athletes in ancient Greece.
A monumental cabinet featuring a grid of shelves behind curved glass doors is embellished with brass details, including handles formed from interconnecting circles.
Marble-topped tables of different heights with slender metal legs can be grouped together as a family.
Some of the rectangular tables feature ceramic surfaces with raised compartments that surround containers topped with spherical handles.
A ceramic table lamp houses its light source inside a dome-shaped shade with a metallic interior. This joins the Full Moon Lamp, which was first exhibited last year and features a round, flat light source mounted on an adjustable arm.
Sé presented the new products at Spazio Rossana Orlandi in Milan last week. The brand’s previous two collections were designed by Jaime Hayon and Damien Langlois-Meurinne.

MC Escher illustrations inform stands for glass lamps by Note Design Studio
Posted in: Milan 2014, Note Design Studio, slideshowsMilan 2014: Swedish collective Note Design Studio has designed glass lamps mounted on wooden frames that resemble mind-bending illustrations (+ slideshow).
Stockholm-based Note Design Studio created the MCE Lamps for Belgian design brand Per/Use.
The design for the bases was influenced by illustrations and optical illusions by Dutch graphic artist MC Escher and Swedish graphic artist Oscar Reuterswärd.
The solid oak frame balances on three points and allows the globe-shaped lamp to rest on top.
A small circular opening at the top of the shade can be pointed in the desired direction by swivelling the ball.
“Depending on how you lean or tilt the bowl you can direct the light like a soft spotlight,” explained the designers.
The lamps come in gradated pastel shades in three different sized globes and frames.
They were displayed at Per/Use’s exhibition in Milan’s Brera district during the city’s design week, which concluded yesterday.
Here’s some information from Note Design Studio:
MCE Lamp for Belgian design brand Per/Use
The design of the wooden frame was inspired by the mathematical illustrations and optical illusions by M.C.Escher, Oscar Reuterswärd and their likes, hence the name MCE Lamp.
Of course this “impossible” frame is nothing but possible and it’s sturdy construction allows the big glass bowl to rest safely. The glass bowl is blown in three different sizes as the frame and the generous bowl elegantly hides the light source. Depending on how you lean or tilt the bowl you can direct the light like a soft spotlight.
The lamp was launched during Salone del Mobile 2014 by the Belgian design brand PER/USE at the Per/Use own exhibition Brera Design District in Via Dell’Orso 12.
The MCE lamp was originally designed as a one-off piece for the Glass Elephant exhibition during Stockholm Design Week.
The exhibition was a collaboration between Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and ABB.
