Monday’s quick start: Young designers at Fiera Rho

Fiera_eikels

A little while ago I told you how my friend Lisette Scheers, who lives here in Kuala Lumpur had visited the Milan Furniture fair and she made some fantatsic images of the things she liked. You might remember this post about Paola Lenti's new collection or Ventura Lambrate…  today just a summary of all the designs she saw  at Fiera Rho, in lIsette her words: "This year not so inspiring – a lot of the same – and everyone uses the same colours : fluo, light blue, ocre yellow and light green" … not sure of you agree ? I hear what she is saying but I do like these warm and cozy little stools… called the Bambi chairs by Takeshi Sawada.

Milan 2012: Studio Zeta

Copper_bike

And speaking of copper … how about a whole bike made of copper! While Lisette was in Milan visiting the Milan furniture fair 2012 she spotted Dutch designer Bart van Heesch at Studio zeta. He was one of fifty recent Design Academy Eindhoven graduates chosen to exhibit in Milan. And although he was there showcasing his luxaflex made from circles of brass  (see the images below in this post) . I also love to show this incredible bike and the cool accessories from him.

Another graduate who made it to THE '50' in Milan is Eva Smeltkop with her Refrigerator 02. A small, transparent storage appliance, in which sweets and snacks not only keep well, but also look good. Thank you Lisette for the images!

… the amazing outdoor collection by Paola Lenti blew Lisette away! And it confirms one more time how important colors are. The ton-sur-ton styling works just perfect and I wish I could have walked around in this garden myself. 

If you could choose which gaden set would you get, the fuchsia, the blue or the ocre? I am in love with the pink wall. 

I will leave you just with these images today … enough inpsiration I believe

Milan 2012: The French in Milan Ich & Kar

Notebooks

Friday at Zona Tortona or Spazio France … according to Lisette ( who visited the Milan 2012 furniture fair for us) the graphic presentation by Ich et Kar was fabulous and probably the best thing at the French design street.

We love Graphic design here at Bloesem, so this is a welcome contribution to our Milan 2012 report.

At Ventura Lambrata Lisette spotted these beautiful Porcelain lamps by Dutch designers Studio Wendy Maarten for us. The lamps are – inspired by the harbour of Rotterdam and shipbuilding, this handmade lamp is adjustable in height with a pulley system. The use of black porcelain gives this old mechanism a sturdy new look – .

Dmosch

Beautiful lamps by dmoch called the Teresa lights.  dmoch are David Ericsson, Ania Pauser and Marcus Berg. dmoch's studio is situated in Stockholm and their work is a reflection of them. – One of the key elements for DMOCH is to find the balance between life and honest objects from a holistic point of view. To combine poetic ideas in the future, contemporary and historical ways

to find unexplored areas of design. Humour is an important ingredient that permeates the work of DMOCH, both to develop in the profession as designers but also and to keep their insanity. –

Dmoch.se

dmoch's Teresa's lights and mobiles:

"The idea of the lamps is to add new values through interaction with different levels in the room. Allow the lights to become a part of the interior and the architecture. To elaborate how the shapes interact with their environment. The wall can be connected to the ceiling, the floor or other elements in the room. It’s not just light, but an object that connects other things. The user can take control over the lamp by changing its position each day, and at the same time change the environment it’s in.
Two counterweights in fabric with two different shades, two pulleys included. You can move the lamps as you please just fix the pulley where you want to have the light, together or apart, high or low."

Lisette Scheers from La Scheers & Co visited the Milan Fair and shared her impressions with BloesemLiving. 

Lisette reporting from Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012

Weareamarvellousproject

This whole week I will be sharing many many images from the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012 in Milan. No I didn't visit it my self (unfortunately, next year I will …) but a friend of mine who lives here in Kuala Lumpur did. Her name is Lisette Scheers and she is sort of a local celebrity due to all her creativeness she brings at the shopping and dining scene in KL via her own company La Scheers & Co.  

La Scheers & Co… is Malaysia's best design/advertising agency. And Lisette has her own stationaery label called nala collections and she recently launched her first collection of pillows. I will be showing them too later this week. But first let's have a look at the images she emailed me from Milan. 

Starting with some general impressions. According to Lisette still lot's of FLUO in the windows and accessories, which we bought thought was a bit disappointing. Luckily Vitra showed a lot of copper and brass in their accessories, which I believe is the new trend in interior design for the years to come. 

The chairs below are by Martino Gamper for Nilufar Unlimited, called Post Mundus.
