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.

In the Picture: Topan VP6 lamp by Verner Panton

Topan_VP6_1

&Tradition from Copenhagen is one of my favorite design companies. With designers like Arne Jacobsen,  Benjamin Hubert, Kai Linke and Verner Panton in their house you can only assume how many nice things their collection carries. 

Today I want to highlight the Topan VP6 haning lamp designed by Verner Panton. The beautiful black matte with golden inside is my favorite but the lamp comes in many different colors. I found the beautiful images of this loft were the lamp is featured at the website of &Tradition but were made by NORM architects. …more about them real soon 🙂 … more pictures >>>

Glimpt’s Superhero’s from Sweden

 

Dezeen_Superheroes-by-Glimp

Just thought you might like Glimpt from Sweden as much as I do…

Design duo Mattias Rask and Tor Palm like to work with artisans from around the globe. For instance working and cooperating with craftsmen from Vietnam. Via via they came in contact with plastic weavers from Ho Chi Minh City, former Saigon, in southern Vietnam and so the Superhero series started taking shape… result: the images above and below!

KL Design Week 2011: Buah-Buahan

Buahbuahan

And my final post from the KL design week 2011 is about the group show: Buah Buahan. … designers showcasing their work all inspired by Buah Buahan or Fruits in English… 

The work of 21 designers and artisits was showcased Buah Buahan and I loved almost all of it. Unfortunately not much was for sale …

 Buahbuahan1 Buahbuaha

In their own words the inspiration for this exhibition Buah Buahan came from … an experience that most Malaysians would have gone through during Art Class in primary school. The art teacher would ask students to draw a picture based on the theme of Makanlah Buah-buahan Tempatan.

That picture of local fruits which most of us drew as kids could very well be the first time we all learned that durian, rambutan, kelapa, manggis, betik and more are fruits that grow locally. This exhibition celebrates that special moment we all share together as Malaysians.

It is also a collaborative effort by local creative individuals to promote local fruits as well as to rally the nation to appreciate (and consume) locally crafted art. After all, art is also one of the fruits of our homeland.

KL Design Week 2011: Stephen Lau

Stephenlau

Unfortunateky I didn't meet the designer, Stephen Lau at the KL design week, but his work and installation was really good. His quircky illustrations in mostly black and white are great. The elephant of course reminded me of my own little friend from BKids 🙂 … more information about KL based designer Stephan Lau right here…

KL Design Week 2011: Little Syam and Raw

Littlesyam23

A whole lot of nice things coming form Asia today here on Bloesem… 

The second post about artists I met during last weeks KL design week. Little Syam, a pretty famous artist here in KL… especially known for her bookbinding workshops :-)… her handmade screenprints on canvasses, tote bags and t-shirts are really nice. I hope one day she will start giving workshops for screen-printing too!

Raw2

Little-Syam shared her booth with the lovely lady from RAW, who makes these patchwork footstools. Bothe artists have a background in graphic design but prefer, I believe, to makes these great interior design accesoiries.
