From an alien-like lemon juicer for Alessi to organically-inspired sofas for Cassina, Starck has expanded minds with innovative—and sometimes questionable—designs as one of the most prolific designers in contemporary culture. While in Milan for Design Week we had the rare chance to catch up with the "über designer" himself during the debut of his latest collection for Italian furniture brand Kartell. Standing among a sea of cameras and curious fans, Starck reflected on his history with the iconic brand, working with a rock star-turned-furniture designer and the relationship between art and design.

Nearly four years later, Faris Al-Shathir and Gregory Sparks, BOFFO 's founders, asked designer Andrew YES to be the honorary designer and co-curator of the first BOFFO Show House, running from 15 May through 4 June at NYC's Madison Jackson building. To create custom designs specifically tailored for the space YES has been working closely with various designers and architects. The show itself will sprawl across four duplex condominium units with each separate unit expressing a theme—Work, Nature, Future, and Play. YES will also present some of his own designs and work at the BOFFO Show House. Some of which will include Persian Helmet Lights, which are dr design design designers furniture furnituredesign interiordesign interviews nyc wood CH Contributor http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ch/~3/8uAkm9z4peE/andrew-yes-and-the-boffo-show-house.php Tue, 01 May 2012 14:26:16 -0600 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ch/~3/89hKwWsL87k/five-tables-from-milan.php Wood, metal and formed concrete create some of the most creative designs around by Graham Hiemstra and Evan Orensten Milan Design Week is always full of surprises and this year's fair was no exception. We found a strong presence of innovative furnishings mixing modern production techniques with the classic aesthetic of raw materials. From "melting" wood to laser cut marble and a table that can be formed in multiple shapes, here are five of our favorites. One of the most intriguing pieces was Ferruccio Laviani's design for Emmemobili. The massive wooden Twaya table is machine molded of countless layers of solid oak. Each corner of the expansive tabletop appears to melt, stretching the rough wood fibers into legs for a look unlike anything we've seen before. Using over 400 wooden slats, the impressive Fan Table from Mauricio Affonso was a highlight of the Royal College of Art 's PARADISE show in the Ventura Lambrate neighborhood.

This year, the young designer, who we covered in 2010, took his solo show to Milan and created his own corner of English charm in which to show his new work plus a little of the old. Of course, being a Cockney, Broom dismantled an old London pub and ambitiously recreated it in Lambrate's rapidly rising design zone. According to the designer; "The project was a bit of a big one involving a vast quantity of shipping crates," in comparison to simply bringing a few pieces along to show standalone. Plus it was the first time the Milanese design crowds had been exposed (as they might put it) to a proper 'boozer' and perhaps one which might be called the first real proper design pub! Yet the strife in dismantling and assembling such a gargantuan installation paid off spectacularly.

From laser-cut wooden coasters and handmade furniture through to carefully crafted lighting and paintings on sheet metal, Wolsey creates pieces that effortlessly fuse form and function. Two years ago the former apparel designer left his work in the action sports industry in order to carve out a career from his craft. CH caught up with Woolsey in his Costa Mesa workshop to discuss furniture, fads and the freedom that results from owning less. When did you start creating? I have been creating art for about 10 years now. However, for about seven years I owned and designed my own apparel line and then worked in the action sports industry. Both sides of my family tree contain artistic people. My father has been one of my biggest influences: he had a career in architectural art and also was a talented photographer.

The frog FZ was a bit of a superstar, appearing on the cover of various magazines including Cycle World in the US and Motorad in Germany.In 1990 it appeared on the cover of Business week with Esslinger. Hartmut wasthe only living designer thus honored since Raymond Loewyin 1934. I always felt the frog FZ, sometimes called "The Rana", was special for a few reasons. Being designed in 1985, just three years after frog entered into its contract with Apple and opened the California studio, it was the personification of the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of frog at that time. It also influenced the generation of mortorbikes that followed. The Honda Hurricane was so influenced by the frog FZ that Honda offered one to Hartmut as a gift! After having a prominent place in our client area for the last twenty five years, we prepared the frog FZ to enter the per car industry design history design process frog Hartmut Esslinger industrial design product development Michael DiTullo http://feeds.frogdesign.com/~r/frog-design-blog/~3/0rkKgz1QMcM/the-story-behind-the-1985-frog-fz750.html Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:25:20 -0600
