“Rebecca Horn sigue explorando la imagen de las plumas en sus obras de los años años 1970|setenta y años 1980|ochenta. Muchas de sus piezas con plumas envuelven una figura en una especie de capullo o funcionan como máscaras o abanicos que cubren o aprisionan el cuerpo. Algunas de estas piezas son ‘Cockfeather’ («Pluma macho», 1971), ‘Cockfeather Mask’ («Máscara de pluma macho», 1973), ‘Cockatoo Mask’ («Máscara de cacatúa», 1973), ‘Paradise Widow’ («Viuda del paraíso», 1975), y ‘The Feathered Prison Fan’ («El ventilador de la prisión emplumada», 1978) realizada para su película Die Eintänzer.”

salone del mobile 2013. drawing reference from the studio’s material driven and process led approach, the lounge chair is comprised of a
lightweight steel and aluminum framework with a stretched 3D woven textile mesh - weighing only 3kg. the furniture piece concentrates

studio aisslinger: chair farm - plantation furniture

The future doesn‘t lie in the invention of something new but rather in the reinvention of the old.

The ability to plant and naturally grow your own chair.

(via lampez)

“the increase of urban farming, whereby green spaces are opening up into shared gardens for new agricultural experiments, was the main starting point for werner aisslinger’s latest work. the berlin and singapore-based designer and architect believes giving everyone the possibility of becoming a producer of agricultural products will be the future in regard to quality and sustainability.
with this, he thought of way to invert the creation and development of furniture from globalized serial manufacturing to a resource-conserving local production. that is how ‘chair farm’ was conceived. it is aisslinger’s vision of how this idea could be realized within an agricultural lab.”

“There are several concurrent cultural movements that have stimulated Virtually Mine at this time. The first is that as our world becomes more virtual, we realize the objects in our lives attain new meanings and values. This is combined with our current and ongoing reassessment of consumer culture and how we measure the various environmental, economic and political implications that our consumption has on our world.

In opposition to current trends of glamorising design as elitist and expensive work, we will be celebrating the everyday and the personal. Guests to the show are invited to bring their own objects or designs into the gallery (we suggest something you can carry) where each item will be recorded, digitally archived, then tagged with an unique ID and will become part of a living online archive.”

Back to Light, Photos of Batteries Made out of Food

Artist Caleb Charland blends art and science in “Back to Light,” his wonderful photo series of batteries made out of fruit, vinegars, and other everyday materials. Some of the photos feature small batteries made out of a single fruit, but Charland has also rigged giant batteries—in one case out of 300 potatoes in a farm field. Charland’s work is currently on display at the Schneider Gallery in Chicago through June 29, 2013. He also has an upcoming show at Gallery Kayafas in Boston, May 17 to June 22, 2013.

Que el tamaño no sea un problema para hacer ciudad, para afectar a los lugares que habitamos.

Que se sigan diseñando cosas así de delicadas, para hacer la vida cotidiana sencillamente más orgánica.

Como dicen en este post “Perfect for bringing some life to a hostile office desk :)”

LICKING THE BARCELONA PAVILION, 1992

…i bet there are architects who would LOVE to do that. or lick mies himself.

Si lo construido fuese más táctil y más cercano a los cuerpos…esto dejaría de ser una performance…

El porche de caña de río que rodea las fachadas principales del edifico está formado por una ligera estructura metálica formada por tubos cuadrados, perfiles en T y en L según posición. La caña se apoya y ata a través de cables tensados y bridas con una instalación muy sencilla que permite al propietario cambiar la caña aproximadamente cada 2 años ya que este material, obviamente, tiene una vida limitada. El bajísimo precio de este material (120 € para todo el edificio) permite que la reposición de éste no sea un escollo económico.
