founder editor dezeen marcus fairs leaves great legacy at age 54.

Jul 6, 2022

marcus fairs passing is a big loss to all of us. he was a big inspiration to architecture and design. a visionary. although 20-plus years my junior, i consider him a mentor. he founded and authored a great resource in #iconmagazine and in #dezeen that will carry on I’m sure but not be quite the same without him.

marcus fairs launches dezeen as a blog in 2006. the site not so great. the content on the other hand was relevant, opinion-filled, and the best of examples. the most current mission statement in fair’s own words with anders holst podcast was to be the most influential and popular design website in the world. mission accomplished.


above > icon cover recent issue

fast rewind, fairs launches icon magazine in 2003. as editor the magazine readership soars. in fact the magazine and fairs himself was awarded launch of the year and journalist of the year in 2004. in his own words, “a great publication in the golden era of print.” then fairs publishes a significant book, twenty-first century design in 2006 with a foreword by marcel wanders for which he is fired by media 10. he was fired because he didn’t clear the book with his bosses. both the first thru third editions of fair’s book can be found on amazon. the firing, which can also be heard in holst podcast, is strange because you would think the publisher, media 10, would be proud, not pissy, to have a visible expert editor publishing a book. but fairs had an internet something up his sleeve, “i can do this!” yes marcus, indeed you can.

i followed dezeen from the get-go and felt honored that he followed DesignApplause. we also met in milan in 2018 and vowed to have a drink at bar basso. sadly i have yet to go to bar basso.

with a modern take on leather decoration, bill amberg brings together leading creatives for a new collection of digitally-printed leather hides.

this year’s collaborators include marcel wanders, calico wallpaper, solange azagury-partridge, lisa miller, champalimaud and artist matthew day jackson.

each artist has created designs which showcase the incredible possibilities of digitally-printed leather. as the world’s most coveted specialist in upholstery leathers, created with the highest ethical and sustainability standards, bill amberg print hides combine forward-thinking contemporary design with an innovative natural leather, developed to celebrate the characteristics and beauty of the material. the collection will be presented in a railway arch at coal drops yard in king’s cross.

launched in september 2018 with tom dixon, faye toogood, champalimaud, natasha baradaran, and timorous beasties, bill amberg print is a modern take on leather decoration that employs specialist digital printing technology, whilst retaining the natural character and grain.

‘print’ uses the finest european bull hides, printed with graphics by some of the world’s most renowned creatives. our in-house tannage allows the leather to accept the inks used in the digital printing process, ensuring a robust and colourfast design. with a soft and luxurious handle, the hides have been developed for upholstery and interior architectural use across commercial, hospitality, residential and marine projects, and meet strict sustainability criteria for leather production.

barovier&toso presents during milan design week 2019.

Apr 6, 2019

above > adonis by marcel wanders

barovier&toso presence is twofold, as has been the case for some time now presenting both at euroluce as well as flourisalone.

one of the new creations to be presented at euroluce 2019 is adonis, a collection of chandeliers created by marcel wanders. the dutch studio, which has been working with barovier&toso for years, has focused on an exceptional mixture of elements: on the one hand, the classic motifs of the venetian glassmaking tradition, and on the other the introduction of original forms derived from the philosophy and stylistic language of marcel wanders.

featuring two models, the adonis collection suggests the dutch flower par excellence: the tulip. the closed, enveloping and secretive form of its petals has inspired an eclectic, fascinating design that gives rise to a luminous spindle in the space.

our booth d19, hall 9 at euroluce (fiera milano rho) is a project by alessandro piva who was inspired by the colors theme of the brand new palazzo barovier&toso in murano: several single color rooms, showing a single collection each.

also

adonis, the new collection by marcel wanders, is the star at our showroom in via durini 5 with a special installation that even attracts butterflies.

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.

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.

friedman benda returns to design miami with asymmetrical symmetry, two parallel room settings featuring the work of eleven contemporary designers. contrasts, opposites and asymmetries will illustrate the rich diversity and backgrounds of designers spanning four continents and four generations, while calling attention to the breadth and depth of each individual designer’s practice.

one room, a juxtaposition of non-traditional materials in a frenzy of vibrant colors and textures, marks friedman benda’s first collaboration with american artist chris schanck.this setting will feature a monumental contemporary dining table and mirror, and a new series of armchairs in schanck’s signature alufoil technique and will preview his first solo exhibition at friedman benda in september 2017. misha kahn, fresh from a working trip to south africa, will present the first in a new series of cabinets produced in swaziland made with woven grass, trash, car parts, and sea glass. the inclusion of the campana brothers’ bi-level marquetry table along with a pair of pink pirarucu armchairs, complete the room.

the second setting is an exploration of volumes, with furniture and objects in natural materials and earthy tones. british designer faye toogood’s volumetric roly-poly dining chairs in silver nitrate bronze will preview her first solo exhibition with friedman benda, assemblage 5, opening february 23, 2017. these chairs will be paired with korean designer byung hoon choi’s minimalist sculptural dining table in light oak and stone. american design legend, wendell castle, now 84, will show the first in his exciting new block series of carved chairs ‘born’ of wood, referencing classical sculpture of the renaissance period, marcel wanders’ low embroidered leather odjurss äte murmur chairs will be juxtaposed with los angeles based artist adam silverman’s organic ceramic vessels. the setting will include lighting – the unveiling of chilean design studio gt2p’s new remolten lava table lamps made from lava excavated from chile’s villarrica volcano; a voluminous rice paper and bamboo floor lamp by the influential italian architect and designer andrea branzi, as well as british designer paul cocksedge’scapture, a hand-spun aluminum dome chandelier, which holds the glow of a warm white light, but with no visible source.

brooklyn-based calico wallpaper will unify the rooms, a second collaboration with the company’s founders. inspired by the concept of optical illusion, calico wallpaper will present a site-specific print of their aurora wallpaper with a custom pattern designed to play with the viewer’s perception and challenge one’s visual system.

Sep 19, 2016

continuing luminaire’s innovative use of design to raise awareness and funds for cancer research, the groundbreaking love philanthropic series of charity auctions returns for its fourth edition this fall with glaslove. glass, characterized by the duality of its strong yet fragile nature, is a poetically fitting medium that reflects the spirit of those battling the disease. for this special event, highly collectible, one-off, limited-edition, or prototype works created in glass glass were created by distinguished international designers and design manufacturers, including nendo, piero lissoni, marcel wanders, tadao ando, naoto fukasawa, patricia urquiola, fernando and humberto campana, glas italia, lasvit, arcade, and venini, among others.

coinciding with breast cancer awareness month, the objects from glaslove will be exhibited at luminaire lab starting september 19th, culminating in a live auction and gala dinner on thursday, october 6, 2016. phillips, the international auction house, is partnering with luminaire to lead the joint live and online auction taking place september 19 – october 11, 2016 with funds benefiting research at the sylvester comprehensive cancer center at the university of miami’s miller school of medicine. glaslove will reinforce the multiple roles design can play as a problem-solving endeavor. #breastcancerawareness

few designers strive, succeed to be relevant for decades in the competitive, cut-throat commercial markets of design. even fewer elevate their craft to be accepted in permanent collections of important design museums – and then there is marcel wanders who managed to piss of his teachers and design critics yet wowed design store impresarios, developers and more recently museum curators.

after showing at the prestigious stedeljijk museum, amsterdam in 2014, his work is now at the centre pompidou, in paris.

looks like the borders that, oh so arrogantly, used to separate design from architecture and art are dissolving in front of our very eyes.
