... but still too cool to ignore and not mention. German designer Hannes Grebin has created a range of living room furniture based on 1970s German domestic decor. The collection includes a sofa, arm chair, sideboard, rug and pendant lamp. The design of the collection reminds me of Jurgen Bey's chairs, the ones he designed for the Interpolis office, back in 2003. Although Jurgen's chairs are great, I really enjoy the twist in Hans' design and the link to the past; grammy's chair goes design.
I was truely stunned after I watched the video and reading the thesis about Funktionide, a concept by young German Stefan Ulrich or Eltopo. According to Eltopo Funktionide reflects upon how new technologies will change future products, and the way we interact with them. The Funktionide is an amorph object whose intention is to provide the user with a atmosphere of presence thus counteracting the feeling of loneliness.
Eltopo also created an amazing liquid wall (do check this!), to able people for authenticity and presence of materiality, and with this he and Yi-Cong Lu were named winners of the International Design Award 2009.
Lately I've been taking many pictures again (old habits die hard) so I thought I'd 'surprise' you with some, being a little 'peek' in Orange Pop's life at the same time. For the blog I've combined indivial original pictures, making themed sets; each set consisting of three pictures.
If you're interested and would like to show these pictures on your site, please make sure to mention 'Orange Pop Design' including a link to this blog. For more information, just contact me via email. Thank you :)
