GRADUATION SHOW DESIGN ACADEMY EINDHOVEN

Last October the Dutch city of Eindhoven was host the 10th edition

of the Dutch Design Week.

During this week visitors can experience design from dif-ferent perspectives. Four selected areas in Eindhoven host-ed different programs, with lectures, expo’s and studio’s where you can indulge yourself with everything related to

Dutch design.

The real must-see is the graduation show of the Design Academy Eindhoven where a 150 young and upcoming designers showed their conceptual artwork and ideas. Another inspir-ing part is the grande exhibition in the ‘Klokgebouw’ (one of DDW’s hotspots), with work by both established and new

designers and manufacturing companies.

INVENTIONS FOR A NOMADIC LIFESTYLE

“Go out for a ride in your bathtub, catch the birds with your umbrella. Expand your trolley into a scooter or become a walking theather. Han g your coat on your suspenders and listen to sea – radio. Screw on your sunglasses and take a nap on your neck-pac” A collec-tion of extraordinary inventions for a colourful crowd of travelling characters. Peripatetic Paraplernalia is a series of assembled products made of discared objects aimed at seven flamboyant characters.

DESIGNERS WATCH OUT

“Is design the exclusive domain of designers? ”That’s what Chia – Pin Yang wondered. And so, he asked over 100 fellow Taiwanese urbanites for their on-the–spot design ideas. Yang was surprised to discover that these ama-teurs could give professional designers a rum for their money. Their unique and insightful ideas included: a picnic table complete with built-in-tree-guaranteeing a spot in the shade, a flowershaped wind turbine to give this form of eco-energy a friendlier look, and a hous-ing complex in the form of a cruise ship. Yang compiled the best ideas in a book, Created in Taiwan, also in-cluding his interviewees’ original sketches. Designers watch out!

A REFLECTION ON DEMENTIA

What is a teapot when you no longer knoe what a teapot is? How does a person suffering from dementia experience his or her surroundings? In Jetske Visser’s film Forgotten Memory the viewer is submerged in the world of dementia. From a desire to understand the world of people suffering from the condition, Visser created an image of their hazy, fragile and precarious existence. As a metaphor for the condition she has transformed a series of everyday objects to demonstrate that things are not always what you expect.

Artist: Jetske Vissr

THE ILLUSION OF A PERFECT GENERATION

Our generation places great demands upon itself- a striving for perfection is widely observable. But is that actually typical of our time? Boudewien van den Berg observed that, whilst the competitive spirit is an intrinsic part of being human, a new situation has resulted from the fact that, due to modern communica-tions, we are now in contact with a greater number of people with whom to compare ourselves. Further, notions of how our lives can be ‘designed’ also raise the bar extra-high.The illusion of perfection is easy to cre-ate, but designable does not necessarily mean real. In My Interpretation of a Generation, Boudewien recorded her fellow students’take on their own generation by photo shopping their faces until their proportions were ‘perfect’, thus enabling them to continue to zeitgeist without doing anything!

Artist: Jetske Vissr

COAT RACK WITH A MIND OF HIS OWN

Today, more and more products are simple on the outside and complicated on the inside. people cannot understand the products anymore and they lose the control over them. concerning this development, the desire of understanding a product while using it decreases. with this project, I have taken the opposite tack, to ensure that people can see how a product works, so that they can enjoy understanding how technology works. it is my aim to set people thinking, so that they really perceive the world with the help of their eyes and their hands. “respond” is an interactive coat rack, which moves when a coat is hung on it. it is an ingenious weight system, using precision carpentry and the element of surprise. after all, surprise arouses curiosity, and curiosity can lead you to the pleasure of understanding.

NATURAL PIGMENTS ENCHANCE WOOD

How can you increase consumer awareness of a produc’s ori-gins? Yannic’s solution is called The Synergy of colour. His bare, elm wood cabinet is designed to be decorated us-ing natural pigments people collect themselves. Think of stinging nettles for a deep green colour or wild heather for purple and mixed with transparent paint. This is fed into a flexible tube connected to a needle embedded in the soft wood of the wardrobe. Slowly, the natural pigment seeps into the wood, returning some of the forest to the tree.

Artist: Yannic Alidarso

OLD RAGS NEW FRIENDS

What to do with that cherished Tshirt you wore on your first date? Send it to Kevin Caboor for a new lease of life as a one-of-a-kind puppet. There are four designs to choose from: Show-it, Share–it, Takeit, and Huge-it. Together they are called Pop-its. Made to give to some-one special, each has its own character and qualities. Hug-it has enormously long arms, perfect for hugging and is filled with seeds which stay nice and warm after stint on a radiator. Takeit’s small size on the other hand, is perfect to travel. Caboor crafts each puppet himself, selecting which parts of the material provided best suit each creation.

Artist: Kevin Caboo
