"BONECHAIR AT THE RIJKSMUSEUM AMSTERDAM"


The rijksmuseum has acquired the prototype of the Bone Chair. The Chair itself is on long-term loan to the Rijksmuseum and the paper prototype of the chair was donated by Droog Design. Both the chair and the prototype will be on display at the Rijksmuseum from 30 August to 26 September 2011

" The chair has a unique design that combines traditional craft with advanced digital design and production processes. While the Bone Chair follows in a long tradition of inspiration drawn from the functional beauty of nature, it is also a striking example of contemporary computer aided design" (Rijksmuseum)

A first model of the Bone Chair was developed for "laminated object manufacturing" (an early digital fabrication technology) and later cast in aluminum in a 3d printed ceramic mold. As the most modern acquisition, the Bone Chair will, for the time being at least, be the closing piece in a chronological display to be exhibited in the main building in 2013.

"DIGITAL MATTER ”


An installation part of the exhibition "Modern by design” at the High Museum Atlanta, opening June 4th, 2011


In the fall of 2010 Joris Laarman Lab was commissioned by the High museum Atlantato develop a kinetic installation that would illustrate a direction of future design. The installation is part of the exhibition "modern by design” that also features Nendo's Visible Structuresand works from the High's growing collection of contemporary design that showcases late twentieth- and early twenty-first century design. Next to that the exhibition will feature a selection of works chronicling three key moments in The Museum of Modern Art's design collection and exhibition history—"Machine Art” (1934), "Good Design” (1950–1955) and "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” (1972).

"Now", Perceptions of Time and Contemporary Design



Museum Martha Herford



10 September – 6 November 2011 in the Lippold Gallery (1. Floor) 

Opening: 9 September, 19.30, admission free

More intensely than ever before designer objects now shape our time schedules by lending an aesthetic dimension to our feeling for time, and seemingly streamlining or accelerating our private and working lives. Without the accentuation of the new, design would be an endless repetition of the old. Aesthetic accentuation of our feeling for time is playing an increasingly important role in contemporary design. Issues examined in this fascinating and challenging exhibition organised by Marta Herford include consumerism, time and luxury, eternal youth and youthful age, zeitgeist design icons, contemporary materials and technologies, and specific visions of utopia.
