We live in a world of consumption with products that are becoming increa- singly technical, cold and impersonal. Rapid change and the constant need for re-invention leaves us longing for products with an emotional resonance that tell a story. Ready to wear chair is about simplicity in material and in meaning. The chair describes the importance of intimicy, protection, warmth and comfort. We all take life so seriously these days. And we should. But take a moment, smile and sit down !

On initiative of the German Ambassador to Rome, the german capital, which recently was awarded the title “City of Design”  by the Unesco, presented itself at the renowned international Fashion Fair “Moda Donna” in Milan. The main idea of the exhibition was to show Berlin for what it is: an open, creative trend workshop for the fields of Fashion and Design. For this special exhibition with outfits of young and upcoming Berlin Fashion Designers, Coordination, a founding member of “Create Berlin e.V.”, has conceived a dynamic presentation landscape. Playfully interlacing Berlin Icons, created by the Graphic Design Studio “substrat”, invite on a journey of visual discovery over a 250 sqm graphic area passable on foot. Studio tables with personalized descriptions of the designers grant insights into the creative minds behind the outfits. On the opening day, the exhibition was accompanied by a large scale fashion show of the current collections of the Berlin Fashion Designers Lala Berlin, 30 paarhaende, von Wedel & Tiedeken, Macqua, Presque Fini, c.neeon und Sisi Wasabi.

Lightweight and quick to set up, SITCITY is suitable for temporary installation and use. Design variations in the configuration of the inner tubes create various possibilities of use. The SITCITY bench offers space for two to four people, depending on their orientation. Photos by Marcel Meury

The concept of cine@citta is to bring cinecitta back to public attention through an interactive game system. The project involves the public directly with cinecitta through the incentive of winning. The concept proposes 2 levels of interaction.Interaction via public media in circulation such as public transportation tickets and cell phone cards and via a net of interactive nodes spread all over the city of Milan. The interactive game system is based on cinecitta movie scenes that are identified using a cell phone as the personal identifier. The players collect cinecitta points or enter a prize lottery. A relationship with the cinecitta story and movies is re-established in a playful and challenging way. a system of nodes infiltrate the city and uses the infrastructure of the city as interactive projection surfaces. A center node acts as receiver/ transmitter and creates a physical space for immersive experiences. In collaboration with Nikiforos Maragos and Gregory Poletta.

SHARING symbolizes gestures of interaction between people. People meeting, different ways people greet each other, symbols of belonging, the sharing of emotions, experiences and information. Interaction can be an intimate exchange between two people or a networking experience among a group of people. SHARING allows people to connect. Connect to each other via two rings or to connect to a network via a necklace. Inserted into a standard computer USB port, SHARING functions as a conventional USB memory device. Interlocked with another, two SHARINGS  transfer information from one ring to the other. The gesture of shaking hands and connecting to another person is symbolized by the interlocking of the two SHARINGS. Designed for Svarowski in collaboration with Sung Jang.

Stereotype is the materialization of a contemplation process on the impact of clothing. The clothes that one wears often are a means of expressing the self, even defining the self. Clothes have the intensity of the personal and the power of the general. Clothes are a metaphor for being human. They are an intimate expression of personality, an external representation of an inner intentionality. How intentional is that expression ? Why do I wear certain clothes or labels ? Am i following a fashion trend to belong to a certain group ? Or distinguish myself from a certain group ? Am I trying to make a statement ? Can I define myself through the clothes that I wear ? Am I a stereotype ? Am I ?

PIZ for Dietiker is based on an upholstery material sandwich which is suspended within a metal frame. The material sandwich consists of a lasercut honeycomb core between a top and bottom layer of material. The cavities of the core are filled with a random array of scrap foam pieces. The pieces potrude upwards creating a sculptural upholstery surface. The layers are sandwiched and fastened by stitching which follows the same path as the lasercut of the honeycomb core. The laser path and the stitching path are computer guided and can vary indefinitely thus creating industrially produced pieces with a luxurious “one of a kind” feel. The concept of PIZ is a translation of the way Dietiker recycles wood scraps into new pieces of furniture in the upholstery context.

Domus Academy for Louis Vuitton

The concept of LV SCREENPLAY is the creation of an enclosed space within the context of existing Louis Vuitton store environments to display products for the younger customer. In this space the young customer feels comfortable and is allowed to interact freely with the products on display. The interaction level between customer and product is the focus of this concept to create product accessibility and a more immediate experience with the product. The space is a permanent display case, an accessible vitrine, hosting temporary display installations that have a more contemporary Louis Vuitton language and that can challenge the way people view Louis Vuitton merchandise. The structure provides a display area for Louis Vuitton products and an interactive kinetic mirror surface for the customer to try on and view products on themselves while moving around inside the vitrine. The motion behaviour of the mirror surface provides another level of customer to product interaction, creates visual interest and evokes curiosity.

The subtle and discrete use of technology and advanced materials is part of the LV architectural approach. It does not contradict or conflict with the existing Louis Vuitton interior design language and is a logical condition for the coherence of the project. Project in collaboration with Katrin Svabo Bech and Nikiforos Maragos.

Why do I wear certain clothes or labels ? A m i following a fashion trend to belong to a certain group ? Or distinguish myself from a certain group ? Am i trying to make a statement ? Clothing plays a great part in the first impression of an unknown person. dinnerwear is a response to this notion of the first impression. It is a statement about public interaction, about conventions, the dress code and the phenomenon of uniforms and camouflage. It is a response to the pressure of the question:
What to wear (to impress) ?!
