Photo by Perini, Sanchez de Lollano, Arribas de Miguel /Koelnmesse.Cetoine by Alejandra Perini, Gonzalo Sanchez Lollano & Raul Arribas de Miguel // A collaboration between Alejandra Perini, Gonzalo Sanchez de Lollano and Raúl Arribas de Miguel, the metal stool Cétoine is inspired by the beauty and diversity of the insect from which it takes its name, the rose chafer. The beetle was considered sacred in many ancient cultures, and its exoskeleton is a shimmering multitude of colours that varies depending on the viewer’s perspective. The two stools respond to this interplay and are joined to each other in a sleek, fluid movement.
Photo by Morita/Koelnmesse.TEMI by Hiroyuki Morita // Originally used as a harvesting tool for sorting grain, Temi presents such an ergonomic and mature form that the Japanese designer Hiroyuki Morita wanted to retain the shell as a seat perfectly adapted to match the human body. With its simple construction and reduced use of material – bamboo, leather, steel – the resulting stool Temi has an absolutely forward-looking appearance.
Photo by Regenbrecht/Koelnmesse.Hyperreal by Pia Regenbrecht // What does living space mean in the era of the digital hyperspace of the World Wide Web? The product series Hyperreal thematises the disappearance of the borders between space and time by asking about the everyday habits through furniture with contrary functions. German designer, Pia Regenbrecht, wants to redirect the focus to life here and now. In this way, the wooden table “ Productivity Disfunction” becomes a functionless object by turning the upper part over, the clock “Future Presence” is only readable from one angle or perceivable from the surrounding space, and the sheet steel standing mirror “Selffocus Surrounding” exceeds its usual function by providing a highly-polished, idealised reflection or steering the view to the surrounding environment.
Photo by Alge/Koelnmesse.Alces Alces by Victor Alge // Swedish designer Victor Alge took the scientific name for moose, Alces alces, as the name for his chairs. He wanted to find a use for the masses of animal skins left behind after moose hunting in Sweden. He developed a new processing method: hard leather parchment is softened, sewn together and then filled with compressed air before leaving it to dry – creating a form as hard as plastic.
Photo by Guan/koelnmesse.Symbiotic Objects by Xiang Guan // Inseparable, the table and chair in Symbiotic Objects are mere fragments, lovingly worked from metal, wood and leather, only becoming complete when a person inserts themselves between all the pieces. Chinese designer Xiang Guan highlights the relationship between human beings and utility objects, one he believes needs to be redefined in our consumer society and throw-away culture.
Photo by Schulz/Koelnmesse.Honeycomb Carpets by Sophia Buhne // Upcycling as a form of art. It was the material that inspired Hamburg textile designer Sophia Schulz to create her Honeycomb Carpets. She takes thick rolls of wool – waste products from felt making – and uses them as the weft material in woven carpets. In this way, unique carpets with strong patterns are produced that remind one of a honeycomb or cell structures in one’s traditional loom.
Photo by Ronald Smits/Denys/Koelnmesse.Foam Fences by Anton Hendrik Denys // Sometimes the suggestion of privacy is enough. The Foam Fences by Belgian designer Anton Hendrik Denys look like metal grating due to the rubber coat and the angular overlapping voluminous foam strips, but are indeed soft and lightweight. These floating, lightweight room dividers allow ample light and just enough of an unrestricted view so that a room can be defined without suffocating it.
Photo by Wansing, Jakobs/Koelnmesse.60 by Jonas Wansing & Svenja-Katharina Jakobs // A simple hook workshop lamp, which began in the back of a garage, was the starting point for this extremely flexible lighting system by German designers Jonas Wansing and Svenja-Katharina Jakobs. The light its flexibility from the 60° cut and a sliding contact at the ends of the individual, extendible elements. These supply each other with electricity and form both the lamp and the frame at the same time. - 图片 © Designers and Press Office.
