Copenhague Chairs by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

“Our wish was to present the furniture in very simple set-up without losing any atmosphere,” the company’s founder Rolf Hay told Dezeen, “focusing on the furniture and products in the best possible way, and letting the coloured walls define the room and giving it the atmosphere.”

Copenhague Round Tables by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

These items are set up to showcase individual products rather than link them together as a coherent range. “We don’t really consider it as a collection,” said Hay. “It’s very important for us that the products are independent.”

Renee Nicole Sander creates translucent plastic garments for her graduate fashion collection

Deficiency graduate fashion collection by Renee Nicole Sander

Industrial fabrics and hardware supplies were used to create these garments shown at Design Indaba 2014 by South African fashion graduate Renee Nicole Sander.

Deficiency graduate fashion collection by Renee Nicole Sander

For her graduate collection titled Deficiency, Renee Nicole Sander chose to experiment with PVC and padding, using the icy forms and colours of glaciers as a reference.

“The concept for my third year collection was glacier formations,” Sander told Dezeen. “Looking at these formations from afar and close up, I was able to use these interesting shapes and textures and transfer them into my collection.”

She used wadding for padded quilts and blackout lining for curtains along with plastic canvas and other industrial materials to create the garments.

“Although these alternative materials made an impact, construction using them proved complicated,” Sander explained. “I felt it was important to look at materials outside of fabric stores and experiment with substances not often used in fashion.”

One piece comprises translucent PVC sheets linked with plastic ties down the sides, which look like shower curtain rungs, and large circular arm holes in the front.

This is worn over trousers and a shirt with elongated sleeves that extend past the knee, both in softer translucent fabrics.

Voluminous hooded coats engulf the bodies like giant sleeping bags. More commercial clothes include a loose halter-neck top and wide-legged trousers.

The collection was designed purely in white to show off the silhouettes and varied textures. “Apart from the purity of white; I feel this colour represents my collection well without seeming aggressive or overwhelming to the viewer,” said Sander.

Sander created the collection while studying at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town and showed the designs during the city’s Design Indaba event last month.

Contest Basic Design & Gibamvision

Qualche mese fa ho fatto parte della giuria che ha premiato i progetti di un concorso di design organizzato dal Laboratorio di Basic Design dell’Università di Ferrara insieme a Gibam Vision, un’azienda specializzata in arredo e allestimento di attività commerciali. Durante lo svolgimento del Laboratorio gli studenti hanno lavorato sul concept di un espositore da installare all’interno di attività commerciali al dettaglio o assimilabili, nei settori del benessere della persona, alimentazione, erboristeria, cosmetica ecc. Compito degli studenti era individuare la nicchia commerciale, e progettare un espositore che prevedesse l’utilizzo di un ampio monitor touchscreen che aumentasse l’innovazione e il coinvolgimento degli utenti. 

contestgibamvision3

La Giuria che ha valutato il lavoro degli studenti era composta da Jacopo Piccione e Gianluca Gimini dell’Università di Ferrara, Nicola De Pellegrini e Daniel Gomez Arrojo, rispettivamente art-director e direttore commerciale del Gruppo Gibam, e dal sottoscritto.

contestgibamvision2

Il primo premio è stato assegnato a “Alpha”, un espositore digitale per la vendita di profilattici di qualità superiore progettato da Filippo Petrocchi e Paolo Ragazzi. Punto di forza del concept è il design elegante e funzionale, in grado di attirare l’attenzione e di assicurare la giusta privacy all’utente mentre valuta l’acquisto a seconda del tipo di rapporto e del suo orientamento sessuale. L’immagine coordinata del progetto, dall’interfaccia del display fino al packaging delle confezioni in vendita, è ben curata e coerente con lo stile della proposta.

contestgibamvision4

La menzione d’onore è andata a un’altra delle proposte in gare: “enoX” di Francesco Maria Bosi e Alessandro Presti, un espositore di vini da utilizzare in occasione di eventi particolari come fiere e congressi.
Molto azzeccata è l’idea di utilizzare una struttura a carosello per esporre le bottiglie su una superficie orizzontale, coperta da un piano in vetro dove sono alloggiati i display che informano il pubblico sulle caratteristiche dei vini sottostanti.
Complimenti agli studenti premiati!
