Aesthetic School Cafeteria Scenes by Maria Svarbova

La photographe Maria Svarbova nous offre une nouvelle série intitulée Dining Rooms. Elle nous transporte dans un univers rempli d’esthétisme et place ses nouvelles créations dans le cadre scolaire.

On y découvre cinq élèves, qui se retrouvent pour un repas à la cafétéria après une séance d’éducation physique. Pour recréer l’ambiance de ses images, elle s’est entourée de la set designer Zuzana Hudáková.

Nous voilà plongés dans un autre temps. Les couleurs vives des tenues des protagonistes contrastent avec leur environnement. Nous nous surprenons à imaginer leur histoire dans ce lieu d’habitude rempli de monde et qui là offre un cadre unique aux compositions de la photographe. 

Maria Svarbova a pour habitude de sublimer des situations de la vie quotidienne, et cette nouvelle série d’images ne déroge pas à la règle.

"Our priority is to play our part in society at large" says Ben van Berkel

UNStudio founder Ben van Berkel says the architecture firm is researching “how design can support the sectors that are in need” after the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, in a video message for Virtual Design Festival.

“Our priority is, of course, to safeguard our employees, our business and our running projects, but also to play our part in society at large,” van Berkel said.

The Dutch architect explained how the coronavirus pandemic has changed his mindset when it comes to his work. “Personally I have shifted my thinking from ‘what can we build?’ to ‘how can we be more resilient?'” he said.

In the video, van Berkel poses several questions about how technology can assist in making the built environment safer in the context of the Covid-19 crisis.

“How we can use data to track the spread of disease?” he asked. “How can we make the built environment healthier with technology?”

“17 video calls a day”

Van Berkel explained how UNStudio has adapted to working during the lockdown, including using sharing platforms instead of physical design sessions.

“At UNStudio, our daily routines have completely changed: we have switched from an average of 40 hours of travel a week to 17 video calls a day,” he explained.

“Instead of hands-on design sessions, we are now using online sharing platforms. It’s amazing to see how resilient everyone has been to all these changes,” he said.

Van Berkel’s video message also features in the VDF launch movie alongside contributions from 34 other architects, designers and artists in lockdown around the world, including Stefano GiovanniEs DevlinIni Archibong, and Bec Brittain. You can watch the full movie here.

Founded by van Berkel and Caroline Bos in 1988, UNStudio is a Dutch architecture firm with a particular focus on sustainability.

The firm recently developed a design for a neighbourhood in the Netherlands, where residents produce their own resources and control the use of their data.

UNStudio associate director and senior architect Marianthi Tatari spoke about the firm’s work on smart neighbourhoods in a lecture streamed earlier this week as part of VDF’s collaboration with Prague conference reSITE.

Working on a COVID-19 Related Product Design? Apply for This Innovation Grant

Earlier this month, the IDA Design Awards and the European Product Design Award teamed up to create the “COVID-19 Design Innovation Grant” in an effort to support and encourage designers currently focused on designing solutions to assist with the COVID-19 crisis.

If you’ve already been working on a design for ventilators, architectural solutions that are responsive to the social distancing order, informational posters, or face mask designs, this could be a great opportunity to get a little funding to bring it to reality.

Here are some of the grants available through the Design Innovation Grant program:

One $5,000 Grant for Product Design

The ventilator is the difference between life or death for people with acute symptoms of COVID-19. We invite product designers to design ventilators or other life-saving equipment that can be produced at a cost of less than $1000. The winner will receive a $5,000 grant to produce their prototype.

One $5,000 Grant for a collaboration between Architecture and Interior Design

A big challenge facing many during this pandemic is isolating a sick person from the healthy members of their family when they have to remain under the same roof. This $5,000 grant will be for a simple, practical, innovative solution for an in-home isolation pod that would allow those with COVID-19 symptoms and others to safely co-habit without transmitting the virus.

One $2,000 Grant for Graphic Design

Our modern interconnected lifestyle has allowed COVID-19 to spread around the world at unprecedented speed, sending billions of people into lockdown as health services struggle to cope. We invite graphic designers and illustrators to submit their designs for a resource to help the public protect themselves, prevent spreading the virus to others, or deal with the psychological effects of isolation.

One $2,000 Grant for Fashion Design 

As the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 continues to rise sharply, some health experts have begun suggesting that we should all be wearing masks of some kind. We invite fashion designers to create fashionable and reusable masks protective gear to help stop the spread of the virus.

It’s important to note that there isn’t much time to get these applications together as the application deadline is Thursday, April 30—so don’t wait, work on your entry now.

Four Anti-Virus Design Changes for Elevators We'll Probably See in the Near Future

Pre-pandemic, we thought nothing of getting into a packed elevator; indeed it was considered a luxury over having to climb stairs. And for wheelchair users, elevators are often the only way to go up or down. But now that we’ve all learned more about how viruses are transmitted, no one will be happy to walk or roll into a closet-sized space filled with other people. What can be done?

Design changes are certainly in order, and at least two Chinese companies have (independently of each other) proposed some solutions. Here are four changes we’ll likely see in elevators in the coming years, as envisioned by both HVAC company Freedom Industry Co. and the Chinese division of Thyssenkrupp Elevator.

1. Active Air Purification

Image: Freedom Industry Co.

Both companies are proposing active air-filtering systems for when people are in the cars. Thyssenkrupp Elevator China’s description is vague, whereas Freedom Industry Co. specifically refers to a “Matrix air curtain ‘isolation’ above and within the head area to cut off/block the transmission of viruses caused by breathing, droplets, or aerosols and avoid cross-infection in elevator cars.” (It is not clear whether “within the head area” will include the heads of those at wheelchair height or children.)

2. Automatic UV Disinfecting When Cars are Empty

Image: Freedom Industry Co.

Image: Thyssenkrupp Elevator China

Both FIC and TEC propose installing disinfecting UV lights that bathe the car interiors when empty. TEC says this will “ensure a full sterilization of the car.”

3. Facial Recognition

Image: Thyssenkrupp Elevator China

I didn’t see this one coming, but companies these days–particularly Chinese ones–do seem obsessed with getting our faces into their databases. TEC’s proposal for how the technology can help:

“Our intelligent face (sic) recognition control panel allows users to operate the elevator without having to touch any button (sic). When in front of the panel, the high-definition camera recognizes the passenger and automatically places a call (sic) to the designated floor.”

There is no mention made of how facial recognition would work if we’re wearing face masks.

4. Voice Control

Image: Thyssenkrupp Elevator China

Also proposed by TEC, this makes a little more sense than face-rec. Being able to summon an elevator and select a floor without touching anything will surely appeal to the germ-conscious.

___________

I think changes 1, 3 and 4 make the most sense, and because the technology already exists, I believe we can expect to see these modifications arriving shortly. Property managers hoping to keep their facilities full will have no choice but to install them.

This transformative furniture lets you lounge on your desk during WFH

I am a huge foodie, and I have noticed this in both cuisine and design that the French love taking what you know, flipping it on its head, and giving you a crazier yet better version while you just sit there wondering “How do they do this every time?!”. The latest product to fall in this category is the ‘Chaise Renversée’ – a desk that can also transform into a long chair by the famous French architect Pierre-Louis Gerlier. The literal translation of Chaise Renversée is ‘chair overturned’, I love how simply the French put everything.

Since we are all cooped up in our homes, we are constantly finding ways to optimize space. Especially if you live in a city, you are likely to have everyday objects that are modular so that you have a functional space. Our current situation and the need to be flexible within a small space is exactly what inspired Gerlier to design the Chaise Renversée. It is the perfect blend of work from home and Netflix from home into one piece of modern furniture, it provides a stable table area to work and can then transform into the ‘Chaise Lounge’ when you want to relax.

“Chaise renversée is a desk for those who do not wish to have a desk,” says the architect, and I think that makes sense! If you only use your desk to reply to emails or pay the bills then it is inefficient to have a rigid, barely-used piece of furniture occupying space in your home. What we need is for our flexible lifestyle is what Gerlier gives us, a lounge chair that also works for work – if our 2020 mood could be translated into furniture, this is it. Sleeping on your desk has a whole new meaning.

Studio Seilern Architects perches restaurant on top of Mount Gütsch in the Swiss Alps

Gütsch restaurant complex at Mount Gütsch, Andermatt, Switzerland, by Studio Seilern Architects

Studio Seilern Architects has built two restaurants at the top of Mount Gütsch – The Gütsch by Markus Neff and The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt – at the Andermatt ski resort in Switzerland

Located 2,340 metres above sea level, the pair of restaurants along with a kitchen occupy three volumes that Studio Seilern Architects designed to resemble the grouping in a Swiss hamlet, or hameau.

“The mass studies took inspiration from hameau vernacular Swiss Alpine villages; where several pitched roof houses sit against one another to form a cluster of stone walls and roofs nestled in a mountainous landscape,” Christina Seilern, principal of Studio Seilern Architects, told Dezeen.

Gütsch restaurant complex at Mount Gütsch, Andermatt, Switzerland, by Studio Seilern Architects

Built between two ski slopes, and at the top of two cable cars, the restaurant complex is the highest to be built in the Andermatt resort, so the studio wanted it to have an impact.

“The Gütsch restaurant is the first fine dining in the area to be built at such altitude,” explained Seilern. “The idea was to create the same sensation of awe and excitement one gets when reaching the peak of a climb.”

Gütsch restaurant complex at Mount Gütsch, Andermatt, Switzerland, by Studio Seilern Architects

The building’s restricted and unaccessible site helped inform both the form and materials of the restaurant complex.

“The site was very restricted, between two ski lifts, an avalanche zone, and two ski slopes, the placement of the restaurant on a steep slope was tricky,” explained Seilern.

“There were also remnants of small underground army bunkers to be mindful of when designing the foundations. We used these restrictions in a way to create a dramatic intervention.”

Gütsch restaurant complex at Mount Gütsch, Andermatt, Switzerland, by Studio Seilern Architects

Each of the two restaurants – the 44-seat The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt and the 66-seat The Gütsch by Markus Neff – is housed in a mono-pitched volume, with the kitchen occupying the third similar-shaped form.

The structure’s basement contains public toilets and a mountain rescue station. Both of the stone-clad restaurants have large windows to take advantage of the mountain views, and are finished with steamed roughened pine wood panelling that matches the ceilings’ glulam timber beams.

Alongside the restaurants are three terraces, supported on seemingly randomly arranged columns, that have space for an additional 190 outside seats.

“The solid stone wall emerges vertically at a great height from the slope,” said Seilern. “Balconies are then attached and lightly supported by slim columns. These columns are organised in a seemingly random manner in order to find their right footings between the rocks and bunker existing on the site.”

Gütsch restaurant complex at Mount Gütsch, Andermatt, Switzerland, by Studio Seilern Architects

The building has a concrete foundation with a cross-laminated timber and glulam structure built on top of it. Using prefabricated timber meant that the building could be constructed relatively quickly.

“The base of the building consists of concrete foundations and base, with a prefabricated CNC timber structure on top allowing the building to be constructed in two seasons only,” said Seilern.

“In Summer 2018 the basement concrete structure was poured allowing for a speedier construction of the prefabricated timber walls and beams above ground in 2019.”

The restaurant complex is the second project designed by Studio Seilern Architects, which was established by Seilern in 2006, for the Andermatt Swiss Alps company. Last year the studio completed a submerged, 650-seat concert hall in Andermatt, as part of the ongoing development of the town.

10 Technical Masterpieces From Watches & Wonders 2020

More than eye-pleasing inventions, timepieces that advance expectations of an industry

Formerly known as Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) and widely regarded as Switzerland’s most illustrious watch event, Watches & Wonders 2020 intended to open its doors this week to a select few. Instead, what was once an elegant in-person experience in Geneva for collectors, buyers and media has become online viewing rooms housing the latest milestone releases from Richemont‘s brands and select independent partners.

Technical and aesthetic developments will continue to deploy this week and although we typically assemble our highlights after holding the novelties, this year we’re relying upon our knowledge of the industry, its materials, each brand’s movements, and what we can glean from imagery to make our assessments. Even from afar, there’s so much to be excited about, as these 10 masterpieces make clear.

Hermès Cape Cod Martelée

An update to the iconic “a square within a rectangle” shape of Hermès‘ Cape Cod wristwatch, the exquisite Martelée incorporates the sophisticated jeweler’s skill of hammering. This hammering extends from the case into the (lacquer-covered) dial—crafting an unexpected patina-like effect across both. Though it’s primarily the aesthetics that benefit from technical development, this Quartz timepiece impresses none the less.

Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique 9623 MC Skeleton Movement

The Tank Asymétrique made its debut in 1936. Today, as part of the Cartier Privé collection (wherein the luxury brand honors its legendary watches with limited variations), the mesmerizing silhouette returns as an 18K pink gold skeleton. Inside there’s a new manual-winding 9623 MC skeleton movement that’s been developed specifically for this asymmetrical stunner. Cartier will limit its production to 100 pieces (though there are two other Tank Asymétrique skeletons, also limited to 100, and three solid Tank Asymétrique models, too).

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication

Limited to eight pieces, Jaeger-LeCoultre‘s Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication marries two of the most technically challenging complications in horology: a celestial vault and a minute repeater. The latter, of course, is the complex mechanism that allows a mechanical watch to chime, which happens here through the brand’s patented “crystal gongs.” As for the celestial vault, it charts the Northern Hemisphere night sky, as seen from the 46th parallel. One final touch, an orbital flying tourbillon, affirms this to be the most compelling of all the releases.

Montblanc 1858 Automatic 24H

With an uncommon 24-hour display, Montblanc’s 1858 Automatic 24H draws inspiration from a heritage timepiece by the historic Minerva manufacture. It relies on a single hand to tell hours and minutes—and also offers compass guidance laid atop the dial’s map of the Northern Hemisphere, with 24 meridians crafted from luminescent material. All of this is powered by a new automatic Calibre MB 24.20 movement, inside a 42mm bicolor case of stainless steel with a bezel made of a special bronze alloy.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton

Its name alone conveys the engineering barriers broken within Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton—where one extreme complication follows another. The ultra-thin 41.5mm pink gold automatic wristwatch derives perpetual calendar functionality from its 276-part openwork movement. It’s a wonder to look at, especially knowing that it includes a moon phase and 48-month counter with a leap year indication.

A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus

A. Lange & Söhne’s new Odysseus, visually defined by its 40.5mm white gold case and grey dial (with outsized day and date indicators in the brand’s classic double apertures), powers along on a 312-part Lange manufacture calibre L155.1 DATOMATIC movement. It’s only the second model in the brand’s sixth collection and as with its peer, it’s the meticulous attention to detail (including the fact that the movement is assembled twice) that defines it.

Panerai Luminor Marina Fibratech

Panerai debuts a new in-house developed material for the bezel of their 44mm Luminor Marina Fibratech. This material, Fibratech, is a composite of recyclable fibers—derived from molten volcanic rock and mineral additives. Paired with a titanium back and a sun-brushed Anthracite dial, the components come to life in an automatic watch limited to only 270 pieces.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Twofold

Modeling not one but three world premieres from Roger Dubuis, the Excalibur Twofold is a technological playground. First, and perhaps most obvious, is the (45mm’s worth of) unexpected case material: an in-house developed Mineral Composite Fiber (MCF). Second, the luminescent FKM rubber strap draws from a world-first technology named LumiSuperBiwiNova. And finally, Dubuis patented a process to illuminate every angle of the movement’s upper plate. Altogether, this means that this is the brightest release from the innovative brand.

IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Yacht Club Moon & Tide

With IWC Schaffhausen’s Portugieser Yacht Club Moon & Tide, the brand incorporates both tide indication and a double moon phase (including both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere) through separate integrated sub-dial displays. This 44.6mm gold, self-winding watch draws power from an 82835 Calibre IWC-manufactured movement. The rotor of its Pellaton winding system can be observed through its exposed caseback—a nice touch for such a technically driven timepiece.

Piaget Altiplano AUC G0A45502

The world’s thinnest mechanical watch, Piaget’s Altiplano Ultimate Concept fuses a Cobalt allow case with the Manufacture Piaget 900P-UC ultra-thin, hand-wound movement. This unbelievably slender 41mm (in diameter) feat of engineering measures only 2mm thick. For all the technical magic, it also epitomizes industrial chic design.

This smart bag with an automatic internal light will put your favorite bag to shame

NALPHI flips a conventional tote bag on its head, by being the most ‘usable’ and stylish luxury bag out there. From re-imagining the interior compartments based on what a woman needs the most, to auto-illuminating light to help us locate things faster, to charging our devices and theft detection, the NALPHI offers a holistic ‘solution’ in the form of a stylish full-grain luxury leather tote bag.

Solving an age-old problem with an ingenious solution, the NALPHI tote bag overcomes the hurdle of rummaging through a crowded bag by simply doing what refrigerators have been doing for decades now… lighting up! Thinking about it, the NALPHI tote bag may just be the most literal representation of the eureka moment!

If you’ve never scrounged around in your bag for a loose pen, some change, or a hairclip, there’s a 100% chance that you know someone who has. Tote bags, backpacks, purses, all share a common problem of eventually getting cluttered just because they’re relatively large vessels for a bunch of smaller products… quite like a fridge. However, for as far as I can remember, fridges have had an activated light inside it. The NALPHI is bringing that potentially game-changing convenience to the tote-bag.

The NALPHI simply uses a set of magnet-activated lights, that illuminates the inside of your tote when you open it, allowing you to easily spot even the smallest items or your keys. Two downward-facing LED lamps brilliantly brighten the bag’s interiors, without blinding you.

Its killer feature aside, the NALPHI looks like any top-of-the-line tote. Made from full-grain leather on the outside and can easily house most of your belongings inside, along with a 13″ laptop. It comes with a variety of compartments for your individual belongings letting you separately store everything from a bottle to a paperclip in its respective space. The insides come with a well-planned set of compartments from scratch-proof pouches for your phone and sunglasses, to a spill-free loop for your bottle and a retractable belt to secure your keys… there’s even a removable cosmetics pouch on the inside for good measure! Additionally, an internal power-bank lets you charge your devices and if you thought the designer ever ran out of good ideas, the NALPHI even comes with an anti-theft alarm to alert you if someone else opens your bag without your permission.

The fashion-forward tote is a perfect example of form, function, and fashion all bundled into one. Designed as a chic bag that replaces your need to carry both a laptop bag, shopping bag, as well as a purse, the NALPHI lets you store all your belongings safely and securely. The bag can be carried as a tote, or can be strung around the back like a conventional backpack. The SBS zippers and a durable leather exterior extend the NALPHI’s life, aside from protecting the contents inside, and you can even spring for an optional set of perfume-pods that you can throw into the bag to keep it fragrant at all times.

Designed around a business model that cuts out middlemen, retail outlets, and luxury markups, the NALPHI manages to offer its impressive list of features for a “Yanko Design Special” discounted price of $199, if you buy directly through the “buy now” link on this page, which sounds even more amazing considering it literally illuminates on the inside every time you open it… which, in and of itself is a priceless feature!

NALPHI – Light-Up Luxury Tote Bag

Complete with luxe leather, an automatic internal light, smart design, phone-charging power bank, and built-in security system – NALPHI is smart luxury done right.

The InnerGlow LED That Illuminates Your Interiors

NALPHI uses patented technology to automatically illuminate the interior of your bag when opened — making it easier to find what you need. The built-in InnerGlow LED light turns on the moment you open your bag and turns off after a few seconds.

No need to find a switch or hold up a flashlight, InnerGlow will flood your interior with light exactly when you need it, without hassle or frustration.

High Quality Luxury Leather

NALPHI is made from genuine full-grain, natural pigment leather — the same leather used by Europe’s most prestigious luxury houses. This incredible leather is the highest grade possible and boasts exceptional durability, lifespan, and texture. It is what separates the average bag from top-of-the-line luxury products.

Compartments for Every Care

From bottles to keys, keep your everyday items organized and quickly accessible no matter what. The non-spill bottle loop keeps your water bottle secured inside your bag and easily accessible.

The detachable key loop makes sure your keys are always available within hands reach.

The cosmetics pouch neatly stores all your makeup needs —keeping them consolidated and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Scratch-proof pockets protect your phone and sunglasses from your other items in your bag. No more surprise scratches on your screens and lenses!

NALPHI is also big enough to easily fit a MacBook Air, iPad Pro or even a 13” MacBook Pro.

The SecureMe Warning System

Simply switch it on when you want to secure your bag. If anyone opens the bag, NALPHI will detect it and alert you via a chirping alarm. The sound will also help ward away any potential pickpockets.

Alarm Switch.

EverPower – Charge on the Go

Keep your phone and mobile devices charged with EverPower, NALPHI’s 5,000mAh power bank.

A two-way USB-C port allows you to charge EverPower, as well as any USB-C enabled devices, while a USB-C to USB-A adapter port lets you charge earlier-generation devices.

To recharge the EverPower power bank, simply plug the USB-C charging cable, with its own LED indicator, into the USB-C port. When the power bank is fully charged, the indicator changes color to let you know that it’s ready.

Designed for Comfort

Wide shoulder straps distribute the pressure on your shoulders, while lightweight materials make sure you don’t have any extra weight from the bag itself.

Wear it on your shoulder, or turn it into a beautiful backpack.

ForeverFresh Perfume Pods in the Bag

NALPHI includes ForeverFresh perfume pods that are easily removable and replaceable. The pods hide in a tiny concealed compartment inside the bag, so they stay out of your way. If you ever need to remove them, simply slide them out.

Keep Everything Inside

NALPHI uses two mechanisms to keep your belongings secure — high-end zippers and magnetic closures. Magnetic closures let you quickly, easily, and securely access your bag without hassle. The magnetic closures connect with both your InnerGlow light and the SecureMe system, activating them upon opening. They also serve as a secondary, no-thought, automatic seal — that way you can access what you need quickly.
