fendi presents the happy room, an inspired interpretation of a modular vip room. with a soft and rarefied tone, distinguished by simple volumes and rounded shapes, the happy room by cristina celestino suggests harmony and delicacy. numerous iconic elements, such as the distinctive arch of palazzo della civiltà italiana in rome, or the inlay of materials; drawing on the stylistic matrix of the fendi fur atelier, which is repeated within the collection through innovative techniques and the contrasting play of various types of marbles.

happy room will be located in the main exhibition tent.

curio/

this year part of curio, a design miami’s new exhibition platform, which invites designers, curators, innovators and gallerists to present cabinets of curiosity throughout the fair. each curio reveals a total environment of objects, textures, artifacts and ideas that challenges and contextualizes familiar design narratives.

above> patricia findlay presents atelier biagetti’s no sex

no sex in miami is the current episode of atelier biagetti’s exploration of contemporary life and goes deep into the human psyche to address the all-time greatest obsession: the idea of sex. first shown during milan design week 2016 curated by maria cristina didero, this time it is the ultimate environment for psychological confrontation, the therapist’s studio. the space itself contains all the expected elements, but the deceptively familiar surroundings are not innocently functional but rather tease the viewer, thus provoking new kinds of behavior around the perception of what sexy is, and around the idea of contemporary design.

german car companies thinking about the cities of the future.

Oct 27, 2013

German car companies are thinking about the cities of the future. Audi has its Urban Initiative, BMW has a multi-year city future project in cooperation with the Guggenheim, now gathered together in a show at the Guggenheim in New York. Volkswagen’s effort to look at future cities is a multi year partnership with the Museum of Modern Art and its junior branch in Queens, PS One, where the company has built the VW Dome, an inflatable hemisphere that looks like some Cold War era radar station. The efforts began in the aftermath of storm Sandy about a year ago. Inside the dome ( photo above ) on Saturday were the latest elements of the effort: presentations by architects and planners addressing an urban future where 75 per cent of the world’s population will live in cities and most will be poor.

audi design wall. pinakothek der moderne.

Oct 2, 2013

Audi uses a design museum, the Ur-Quattro, and aluminum to make a statement. Audi and Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum Munich – are celebrating another highlight regarding the reopening of the Pinakothek der Moderne. From September Audi will be guesting in the Pinakothek der Moderne with a wall installation. The installation called the Audi design wall will form part of the Permanent Collection of Die Neue Sammlung for at least five years. The debut opened one day after premiering at the Frankfurt Auto Show. [ pinakothek ] [ audi ]

[ from official audi release ]
Die Neue Sammlung, the design museum located within the Pinakothek der Moderne, and Audi, a car manufacturer that is the embodiment of good design, are open to experiments. Following the successful exhibition “Design Icons” staged by Die Neue Sammlung at the Audi Forum Neckarsulm, from September Audi will be guesting in the Pinakothek der Moderne with a wall installation. The installation called the Audi design wall will form part of the Permanent Collection of Die Neue Sammlung for at least five years.

Aluminum is the epitome of lightness and stability. Audi has been closely associated with aluminum expertise in the automotive engineering field for many years. For the Audi installation, around 1,800 models of the legendary Ur-quattro form an “aluminum carpet”. Each of the models, weighing around 860 grams, were cut away from a seven-kilogram block of aluminum. The future of the Audi brand rises up from foundations formed of these aluminum Ur-quattros.

The sculpture evoking the Audi Sport quattro concept soars up vertically. The show car translates quattro technology and its tradition in motorsport into a futuristic formal idiom. A mirror suspended on the ceiling allows visitors to explore the installation from an unusual perspective. “The Audi design wall visualizes the bridge between the past and the future of our brand,” explained Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, AUDI AG Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development. “The common thread is quattro technology, which defines Audi more than any other.” The work was devised by the Audi Design team specifically for this room in the Pinakothek der Moderne. “We created the Audi design wall with the passion of an artist and exercised maximum precision in visualizing the core technology of quattro,” commented Hackenberg in describing its evolution. The idea for the exhibit itself came from an internal competition among Audi designers. The challenge was to come up with an object that communicates with the onlooker. The Audi design wall is also visible to passers-by outside the museum.

The model that inspired the carpet exhibit, the Ur-quattro, is in itself a legend. Since 1980, when the first Audi quattro was unveiled to the public at the Geneva Motor Show, permanent all-wheel drive has emerged as a core automotive technology. quattro stands for safety, power and sportiness – thus perfectly symbolizing the Audi brand. No innovation has had a greater formative impact on the carmaker than quattro.

After the reopening of the Pinakothek der Moderne on September 14, 2013 the first Kunstareal Festival will take place in the grounds of the Pinakothek museums on September 15, 2013, taking “Encounters. Kunstareal Munich” as its motto. As one of the festival’s supporters, Audi will be presenting design in a way that is specifically tailored to children. Children will be able to discover design on a paper chase taking them through the rooms of Die Neue Sammlung, and in a design workshop hosted by Audi. At the workshop, the children will have the chance to create small models, in the process gaining an insight into the work of Audi’s designers and model makers.

Audi’s urban future initiative. Höweler + yoon architecture.

May 9, 2013

click > enlarge

The latest installment of Audi’s Urban Future Initiative saw a presentation of urban planning ideas by Höweler+Yoon Architecture. The Boston based firm won a competition among firms last year with its vision of a new multimode transportation corridor for the northeast US, the sprawl from Boston to Washington abbreviated as “Boswash.” That corridor contains some 53 million people and one-third of the country’s gross domestic product. In the so called Shareway, high speed rail, autos and bicycles (giant futuristic bicycles, to judge from the drawings) would be bundled together.

ford bespoke chair

Ford’s “Futuring Team” of designers came up with a chair and table lamp that embody current trends, the company said. “The Ford Design team has for years attended events such as Salone del Mobile as creative observers, and now we are showing products designed by automotive designers,” said a Ford designer. “Many companies have access to technology, but it is design and innovation that elevates one product above another.”

Car companies have used Milan as a showcase before. Ford famously (world’s first automaker to showcase a car) introduced Marc Newson’s O21C car there in 2000. That strategy was echoed in Renault’s partnership this year with Ross Lovegrove on an actual vehicle.

Two years ago, Audi showed off a chair said to embody its design values.

The construction is made with weighted, beaded strings that hang to form curves. The technique used is an ode to Spanish Art Nouveau architect Antoni Gaudi in designing his Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona. The concept embodies five characteristics of Art Nouveau: The Perfect Curve, Reflection, Timelessness, Organic forms and Craftsmanship.

the ‘architecture for dogs’ installation offers an interesting opportunity to explore architecture in a different way. the audi ‘r18 ultra chair’ project offers an ultra interesting opportunity to explore chairs in a ultra different way. audi uses technology from their le mans winning r18 racecar, 25 iterations of computer and cardboard models, public beta testing at milan 2012 (we tested it), a borrowed industrial robot from their production line, and incorporates folded sheet aluminum with the latest carbon composite materials used directly from the r18 racecar to make an ultra light and extremely durable [ r18 ultra chair ]. both examples remind us that innovation from concept thru execution can be so different yet so similar and mutually inspirational.
