LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2013: DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE Over the 11 years of the London Design Festival, a vast diversity of local and international design has been showcased and celebrated. This year is no exception, with more than 300 events open to all across the capital. The Festival is a punctuation moment in the year and acts as a reminder that design is all around us, permeating every part of our lives. From the commercial to the conceptual, from the subtle to the spectacular, from the weird to the wonderful, we invite you to enjoy the great breadth of design that the London Design Festival has to offer in 2013.

INTRODUCTION

Chairman Sir John Sorrell CBE

Director Ben Evans

Design is everywhere in London, in Great Britain and across the world. It is so much part of everyday life that people take it for granted – except when it doesn’t work and they curse whoever got it wrong.

In a city like London, it is hard to be noticed. That is the whole point of the Festival, a concentrated time when design is very visible.

This year, during the 11th London Design Festival, I hope people will take a moment to think about how vital design is to our lives and how great design can improve quality of life. The huge volume of design activity taking place across the capital reveals the stunning creativity of some of the most stimulating minds in the world. I am particularly interested in how those minds can help make the world a better place. This is what the Festival’s conference, the Global Design Forum, is all about, with delegates from around the world seeking to inspire the future and identify the way forward for design and its impact on the world. I hope you have a great Festival.

With more than 200 different partners this year and 300 projects and events, there is something for everyone. Start at our hub venue, the V&A, where there is a programme of bespoke commissions and talks, climb our landmark project the Endless Stair outside Tate Modern and visit the key design destinations, each home to hundreds of designers. It is often said that London is a collection of villages, and in the wider Festival the design districts are places where you can see clusters of design projects all within walking distance of each other. The districts can be found across the city. This guide and our website can help you find what you want to see and what you don’t yet know you want to see. I hope you find it and above all, enjoy.

London – The Design Capital of the World?

9

LONDON – THE DESIGN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD? Immediately after the London Design Festival in September 2012, esteemed journalist Julie Lasky published an article in the New York Times about London’s design prowess in the context of the world’s other great creative cities. The article opened with this statement: “Apologies to Milan and Tokyo. Regrets to Stockholm and Paris. Forgive me, Eindhoven, Berlin, Barcelona and, most particularly, New York. But London is the design capital of the world.” Such a statement, while flattering, prompted us to ask ourselves why the capital is perceived in such a way. London is considered by many to be Europe’s central meeting point, and indeed visitors from around the globe flock to the English-speaking megacity for business, leisure and a sizeable dose of culture. Steeped in history on the one hand, London never sits still on the other, and progress marches on unabashed. London’s huge mass is home to a multicultural mix of young hopefuls and families, all attracted to the city for the financial prospects and the tolerance of new values. International influences have infused the very fabric of the city, stimulating the masses across every pursuit, from cuisine, theatre, music and film to art, architecture and, of course, design. There’s an open-minded attitude towards new ideas and a willingness to explore and challenge the status quo – often with a healthy dose of irony and humility.

London is an international design hub – it’s world-class education system attracting talents from around the world, many of whom choose to stay and find work here or set up their own businesses. Such micro and SME businesses are buoyed by a mature marketplace and access to collaborative partners, as well as a sophisticated demographic and client base.

OUNCE FOR OUNCE, BLOKE FOR BLOKE, BRITAIN PRODUCES BETTER DESIGNERS AND DESIGN IMPRESARIOS THAN ANYWHERE ELSE Julie Lasky, The New York Times

Indeed, design is a burgeoning sector and one that embraces multiple disciplines, including industrial, product, furniture, interiors, automotive, digital, interactive, graphics, illustration, branding, packaging, textiles, applied arts, and craft. Beyond that, design straddles a number of different sub-disciplines that encompass science, engineering and technology. Furthermore, design is crucial to securing competitive advantage on

Spun by Thomas Heatherwick, London Design Festival 2010

the global stage and more and more businesses are waking up to “designing what they do”. Despite all of the aforementioned attributes, complacency is the great danger to the health of London’s design scene. The sector is incredibly competitive and is becoming more so with the strengthening of the design offerings in other countries. Regional and central governments are increasingly embracing design to boost cultural collateral on the global stage and attract significant inward investment. Every year, established London-based designers are joined by a flurry of complacency-busting design grads, many of whom studied in top local colleges and are fired up to bring fresh

energy to the commercial and cultural sectors. These talents have endured years of hardship brought on by the high cost of living – the main drawback of living in one of the world’s most expensive cities. Still they want to make a go of it here and most persevere with an attitude that if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. There’s no escaping the fact that jobs are few and far between these days; economic turbulence has taken its toll on employment. The burden of a fickle income stream coupled with high overheads tends to weed out those independents who are half-hearted about the industry. The ones who are prepared to make a go of it understand that hard work is key, and that being simply “good enough” is, well, not good enough.

There is a multidisciplinary nature to survival here: you need to develop a multichannel portfolio of activity to diversify your risk. Within the industry this gives rise to a culture of collaboration. The most highly developed talents merge together and form strong conceptual unions, the output of which manifests in many varied permutations. The annual celebration of these collaborations comes in September during the London Design Festival, when events, exhibitions and installations pop up across the capital. The Festival has gained traction over the years, attracting more and more exhibiting partners, opinionated media, as well as members of the public who have become increasingly design literate. The Festival also garners support and endorsement from our politicians, who increasingly

demonstrate their awareness of the industry’s economic contribution. Furthermore, commercial sponsors recognise the business benefits of reaching such an influential audience, and continually illustrate an eagerness to commission and be associated with challenging design ideas. London’s design scene is animated by the annual spectacle that is the London Design Festival. It marks a great expressive moment when culture, commerce and creativity collide in unpredictable and spectacular ways. In such a hotbed of energy and ideas, the process of reinvention never sits idle. For the gangs of individuals driving such change, this city of 7.8 million residents acts as a perfect playground in which to sculpt and hone our reputation as, yes, the design capital of the world.

London Design Festival Landmark Projects

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL LANDMARK PROJECTS The London Design Festival marks an important moment in the design calendar when creative excellence is given prominence in the capital for everyone to enjoy. For the past six years, we’ve been commissioning the world’s best designers, as well as pioneering new talents, to create extraordinary installations that are displayed in some of London’s most prominent and best-loved spaces. We call these installations Landmark Projects as they represent spectacular punctuation points around the city during the Festival period. Ambition is a recurring characteristic across every project; ambition to continually challenge the definitions of design; ambition to change the context and push the capabilities of materials;

Endless Stair

ENDLESS STAIR

with the Thames panorama of London, provides a context to which dRMM’s Escher-inspired installation can make a distinctive contribution,” says Alex de Rijke, Co-Founder of dRMM Architects.

Endless Stair sees the London Design Festival reviving its longstanding relationship with the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) in a playful, yet technically ambitious public project installed with the powerful backdrop of one of the city’s best-loved landmarks, Tate Modern.

Architects and Dean of Architecture at the Royal College of Art, working closely with engineers at Arup. De Rijke has described timber as “the new concrete”, predicting that it will be the dominant construction material of the 21st century.

Installed outside Tate Modern, the towering structure invites visitors to climb and explore a series of 15 Escher-like interlocking staircases made from a prefabricated construction using 44 cubic metres of American tulipwood donated by AHEC members. As a viewpoint, Endless Stair provides breathtaking views along the Thames.

“There is a ‘wood revolution’ going on in the construction sector and dRMM is one of the architects at the forefront so it is very fitting that their dramatic Endless Stair design will significantly inform the debate, show hardwood in a new light and challenge traditional thinking within the construction industry,” David Venables, European Director, AHEC, says.

The complex construction is designed by Alex de Rijke, Co-Founder of dRMM

“The programme of modern art and architecture at Tate Modern, combined

Tulipwood is a plentiful and sustainable American hardwood export, composed here for the first time as cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a method of exploiting the structural properties of timber to create panels that can form buildings quickly, efficiently and sustainably. Traditionally, CLT is made using softwood because it provides a cheap and readily available source of wood fibre. Endless Stair pioneers the use of a hardwood species, which is inherently lighter and stronger than its softwood equivalents. The CLT panels for Endless Stair were produced by Imola Legno, a major timber distributor in Italy.

“Tulipwood is amazingly strong and stiff for its weight compared with many other species. Tulipwood CLT offers a really exciting addition to the CLT family,” says Adrian Campbell, Associate Director, Structural and Lead Engineer from Arup. “This project provides fertile opportunity for this elegant sculpture to act as a test bed for the creative use of timber.”

THERE IS A “WOOD REVOLUTION” GOING ON IN THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR... David Venables, AHEC

This is the most recent in a series of innovative projects that AHEC has commissioned for the London Design Festival, including the Timber Wave (pictured), designed by AL_A, which stood outside the main entrance of the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2011, and the Sclera pavilion designed by David Adjaye in 2008.

For the Endless Stair project, AHEC is using data from its recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research project to produce a full ISO conformant environmental profile for the structure. It will be the first time this will be done for a major installation at the London Design Festival. Endless Stair is open for the public to ascend during the day.

GLOBAL DESIGN FORUM Sheer Driving Pleasure

The London Design Festival’s thought leadership event, the Global Design Forum, debuted in 2012 and was a sell-out success. More than 250 delegates from around the world filled the theatre at Central Saint Martins’ impressive campus in King’s Cross for a day packed with informative presentations and debate. The outcomes of the event informed the content for our Global Design Summit in Hong Kong in November 2012 and discussions in Taipei and Seoul in March 2013. This September, the international conversation continues at our flagship Global Design Forum event in London, generously supported by BMW Group, Coutts and UK Trade & Investment. Our mission is to set the global agenda for design by giving the stage to designers, entrepreneurs, policy makers and educators to highlight the growing issues and opportunities for design. As the world starts to emerge from the slowdown, what is the role of design in the economy and people’s lives? How does groundbreaking innovation thrive and find its market? How can design successfully permeate and transform struggling business sectors? Why is it important to have a global perspective? What scope is there for design to alter and define the infrastructure and image of cities around the world? On the evening of 16 September, and the whole of the next day, these are just a handful of the topics being tackled by an impressive line-up of international speakers.

DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE. BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD ENOUGH. THE GLOBAL DESIGN FORUM AIMS TO CHALLENGE BAD DESIGN AND INSPIRE NEW THINKING ABOUT THE KIND OF GREAT DESIGN THAT MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE Sir John Sorrell, Chairman of the London Design Festival

Who is speaking at the Forum? Our leading local and international speakers have been selected from extensive research into start-up entrepreneurs, established corporate leaders, public-sector figures and cultural pacesetters, all chosen from a variety of backgrounds. They have been briefed to challenge the status quo and deliver thought-provoking ideas to our audience. In the early evening of Monday 16 September at the V&A, we kick off the Forum with a head-to-head conversation between Paul Morley and Peter Saville, both cultural icons in their own right and both with provocative opinions about the way the world in general – and design in particular – are going. The following day we move to the Purcell Room in the Southbank Centre

for a full-day programme involving automotive design frontrunner Adrian van Hooydonk (Senior Vice President BMW Group Design), advertising guru Sir John Hegarty (co-founder of Bartle Bogle Hegarty), serial entrepreneur Brent Hoberman, and design luminaries Ross Lovegrove, Jaime Hayon (pictured below) and Michael Young, to name a few.

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL AT THE V&A Welcome to the London Design Festival at the V&A, a unique collaboration between the world’s leading museum of art and design and London’s foremost contemporary design festival.

LONDON

DESIGN FESTIVAL AT THE

V&A

The V&A has always been at the forefront of the design world, collecting and displaying the best in contemporary design, whilst also providing inspiration for our visitors. Today, this is truer than ever, as the V&A not only displays and celebrates great design, but also, through our relationship with the creative industries, inspires our audience. The London Design Festival at the V&A is a beacon of this relationship with the design industry, and a symbol of its success. Over the past five years, the London Design Festival at the V&A has gone from strength to strength, and this year’s programme will once again fill the Museum with an extraordinary range of design installations large and small, intricate and majestic. From an eight-storey lighting installation in the Main Entrance to a trail of Swarovski lenses focused on the design details of objects across the collections, the programme this year highlights design “Here, There and Everywhere”. The V&A’s exhibition programme is just as diverse, with a range of exhibitions celebrating design disciplines from graphic design and illustration, to fashion and jewellery design. Major exhibitions include Pearls, Club to Catwalk and Memory Palace, whilst

smaller displays such as Deception: Ceramics and Imitation explore specific areas of a diverse range of subjects in detail. I would like to offer my thanks to those whose energy and enthusiasm made this year’s Festival possible. In the current economic climate it is exciting and heartening to have so many individuals and organisations involved, and so much creativity on display. Some of our visitors will discover the Festival for the first time, because they are fans of the V&A, whilst others will come to the V&A as fans of the London Design Festival. We look forward to welcoming you all, and to sharing the 2013 Festival with you. Martin Roth Director, Victoria and Albert Museum

THE PROGRESSIVE EXTENSION OF THE FIELD OF INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIENCE

This striking project consists of a natural cork floor covering the existing bridge over the V&A’s Medieval Galleries, in which the visitor is immersed in a world of cork, encountering its visual and tactile properties in a bold effort to challenge existing connotations with the material. The project is a collaboration between FAT Architecture, the Londonbased practice renowned for its conceptual approach to architecture, and Amorim, the world’s largest producer of cork.

Amorim, the world leader in cork production, blends design with the unmatched insulation capabilities of natural cork to create sustainable, stylish and high-quality

The floor is made up of a series of tiles laid in a repeating trompe l’oeil geometric pattern, which is based on a scientific diagram of the cellular structure of cork as a material.

“Amorim’s partnership with the London Design Festival is a unique opportunity to showcase CorkTECH, our innovative, design-driven natural cork flooring. Combining FAT’s cutting-edge creativity with cork’s unmatched technical capabilities will deliver an exciting, contemporary perspective on nature’s most sustainable flooring solution,” says António Amorim, Chairman and CEO of Corticeira Amorim. The pattern also accidentally recalls certain architectural characteristics of the Douro region of Portugal, a world-class wine region so associated with cork, where geometric tile patterns can be found in a number of vernacular buildings as well as pieces of signature architecture such as the Casa da Musica in Porto.

God is in the Details

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS When the legendary German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe coined the now famous phrase “God is in the details” he encouraged his audience to live and work in a thorough manner and to take note of details, no matter how small they may be. Mies van der Rohe’s words are just as resonant today with designers all over the world working across all manner of disciplines. While detail matters, much of it we barely notice – even in the context of a museum where objects are intended to be observed at length and up close. The London Design Festival has collaborated with Swarovski to set a group of influential designers a challenge on the theme of detail. Each designer has selected an object from the V&A’s extensive collections, forming a multi-site exhibition within the V&A’s galleries. Positioned next to each chosen object is a viewing point constructed from Swarovski specialist lenses, which has been installed to magnify the highlights or curiosities within each piece’s design. The detail might be hidden, it may be in a combination of objects, an uncovered texture, or it may reveal or redefine a gallery view. “Magnifying inspiring details is a simple yet extraordinary concept, because really looking at something means seeing it in an entirely different way. God Is in the Details invites us to look at some of the V&A’s greatest treasures

as if for the first time, taking us on a fascinating and enlightening journey of discovery,” says Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board. The choices are incredibly personal; the designers include practitioners from a number of different fields covering jewellery, architecture and industrial design. Included in the group of designers are the likes of Paul Cocksedge, Tom Dixon, Amanda Levete, Faye Toogood, Stephen Webster and Osman Yousefzada, who have honed in and handpicked objects representing everything from the iconic to the obscure. The project invites visitors to embark on a more intense experience of the Museum’s collections; a “journey of detail” to discover features that they may otherwise have overlooked.

www.bocci.ca [email protected]

28.280 Enter through the main entrance of the V&A and immediately look up. Here you are greeted by the 28.280 custom-made chandelier by Canada-based designer Omer Arbel. Hung from the cupola, the highest point of the building, the installation spans the vast height of the Museum, cascading more than 30 metres through the centre of the ceramics galleries, past the coffered ceiling beneath and finally appearing above the main doorway as visitors enter the Museum. The installation is made up of 280 individual 28 Series glass pendant lamps that are each suspended from the cupola. Every pendant is handmade at design brand Bocci’s glass factory in Canada using a fabrication process developed by Arbel. “28 Series is an exploration of a fabrication process that is part of our quest for specificity,” explains Arbel. “Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system that haphazardly yields form, almost as a byproduct. 28 Series pendants are the result of a complex glass-blowing technique whereby air pressure is intermittently introduced into and then removed from a glass matrix that is intermittently heated and then rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted spherical shape with a composed collection of inner shapes, one of which is made of opaque milk glass and houses a light source.”

The Dinner Party/True-to-Life Design

THE DINNER PARTY/TRUE-TO-LIFE DESIGN

THE VISITOR ENTERS JUST SECONDS AFTER THE GUESTS HAVE LEFT TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE IN THE GARDEN. ONE CAN USE THIS UNGUARDED MOMENT TO LOOK AT THE LUXURIOUS DINNER TABLE AND INTERIOR UNDISTURBED. THE MUSIC IS STILL PLAYING SOFTLY… Stefan Scholten, Scholten & Baijings

In galleries and museums, design objects are frequently displayed on pedestals or in glass vitrines, but rarely in something resembling the everyday living environment for which they were conceived. The Norfolk House Music Room in the British Galleries provides a theatrical backdrop for Scholten & Baijing’s The Dinner Party, where visitors are invited to interrupt a dinner party in session. This seemingly lived-in but recently deserted “stage set” creates a more natural and adventurous way of viewing designed objects, particularly glassware, ceramics, polished steel, textile, furniture and carpets.

The sharp contrast of the contemporary tableware, all designed by the Dutch studio Scholten & Baijings, against the historic French-styled panelled interiors, leads a visitor to ponder what once may have taken place in this room. As well as being used for music, the Norfolk House Music Room was also used by the original household for card games and general social intercourse before the V&A acquired it after Norfolk House’s 1938 demolition.

Alessi made in Crusinallo. The Beauty and the Mastery

ALESSI MADE IN CRUSINALLO. THE BEAUTY AND THE MASTERY Many objects are simply part of everyday life; in the neutral, reassuring setting of home we make use of them almost without noticing. Then there are objects that somehow make commonplace gestures more pleasing, more straightforward and more personal. Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi and has developed a policy of design excellence that has made it one of the leading internationally renowned Italian design factories. Alessi started its life in metalworking and continues to produce metal pieces to this day.

“I consider Alessi a good example of the ‘Italian Design Factories’ phenomenon, but I insist on the fact that we are more than an industry in the conventional sense – we are instead a research workshop in the field of applied arts whose inherent attitude, even though we rely on contemporary industrial technology and processing equipment, is still rooted in handicraft culture,” says Alberto Alessi, President of Alessi. Sackler Centre Foyer 14–22 September Supported by Alessi

This exhibition in the foyer of the V&A’s Sackler Centre provides visitors with a rare insight into the production processes of the world-famous brand, exposing the making skills of its factory by picking key pieces from its archive to embellish each story. We discover that every object is a small but great adventure in creativity and technology and that, even today, Alessi objects are characterised by fine craftsmanship thought often to be produced with the aid of machinery. The installation itself is reminiscent of the workshops at the brand’s factory in Crusinallo, Italy. Pieces are displayed in their production cages, and Household Goods Factory, a film about the factory seen through the eyes of Turkish video artist Ali Kazma, will be screened throughout the Festival.

Alessi will be giving away its iconic punched King Kong key rings during the Festival. Join Alberto Alessi who will be discussing metalworking in a talk at the V&A on 18 September at 2.15pm. See page 70 for further details.

Domenic Lippa, Partner at worldrenowned design studio Pentagram, has been designing the award-winning Circular magazine since 1999 and describes the practice as a “labour of love” – combining his interest in both typography and magazine design. Issues 8 to 18 have no set style or consistency; each issue is designed from scratch and is unique.

The Typographic Circle is a not-for-profit organisation, run entirely by volunteers. It was formed in 1976 to bring together anyone with an interest in type and typography and has since attracted some of the most highly acclaimed names in graphic design, including Vince Frost, Stefan Sagmeister, Alan Fletcher, North, Tom Hingston and Spin. Gallery 55, British Galleries 14–22 September Supported by Pentagram

“I’ve been working on Circular for 15 years now, which is unique in itself, but what I’ve most enjoyed is that each issue has a distinct and experimental execution,” says Domenic Lippa.

MOLESKINE SKETCH RELAY

Moleskine and the London Design Festival have invited over 70 key London-based designers to participate in Moleskine Sketch Relay, including Alexander Taylor, Benjamin Hubert, Lee Broom, Nina Tolstrup and Raw Edges. The exhibition showcases illustrations responding to the brief focusing on this year’s campaign “Design is Here, There and Everywhere”. “At Moleskine we also believe design is everywhere. An idea can be set off wherever and whenever; what’s important is that it is captured and not lost. The blank pages of a notebook make this happen,” says Maria Sebregondi, VP Brand and Communications, Moleskine. Each designer has been asked a selection of questions; firstly to illustrate what objects, items, systems and details they could not live without in a private space or in the public domain.

Secondly, to examine what needs improving within their personal or professional life. Finally, the London Design Festival has asked what each designer would like to design that they haven’t had the opportunity to design before, the results of which are displayed in Gallery 220 in the Sackler Centre. The exhibition includes work produced by the public during a Sketchathon event held on the first Saturday of the Festival during the Graphics Weekend. See page 65. Gallery 220, Sackler Centre 14–22 September In partnership with Moleskine and the Detour Project. Join Moleskine and a panel of designers for a lunchtime talk. See page 62 for details.

The following pages are dedicated to information about each of the shows this year.

For many, the task of selecting what to visit during the Festival can seem overwhelming, particularly for those with limited time or who are unfamiliar with designers or brand names. London’s design communities gravitate to different districts creating distinct clusters of activity. Design Districts can be a great place to start your Festival journey as each area hosts a wealth of varied activity, often within the distance of a few streets.

of the area’s personality and they each have their own late night openings and parties throughout the Festival.

Design Districts are not directly organised by the London Design Festival but have been an important part of its growth and are wholeheartedly embraced as an important part of the Festival’s navigation. Each has evolved over the Festival’s history and this year we are happy to announce that two new Design Districts – Chelsea Design Quarter and Clerkenwell Design Quarter – are joining the existing three of Brompton Design District, Fitzrovia Now and Shoreditch Design Triangle.

The Shoreditch Design Triangle is now in its 5th consecutive year. The event brings together a fascinating collection of designers, stores, galleries, studios, cafés, bars, brands and one-off events for a week of design-led festivities. Truly collaborative, and harking back to the days when the Hoxton and Shoreditch area was re-invigorated by the Young British Artist movement, the event revels in the true spirit of London, a place that bursts with new ideas, historical places and spaces, and the colourful characters who have strode the East End for many a year. This year the event incorporates more than 30 different participants.

Rick Owens is a multi-faceted designer, in fashion he is committed to a demanding and singular aesthetic. His original vision plays on materials. Petrified presented at Carpenters Workshop Gallery continues this vision, verging on the abstract, outlining the archetype and consolidating the subtle rhythms of his research through origin-evoking petrified wood furniture. Born from a desire to create furniture for his LA home, Owens has adapted the simple plywood used in his original designs to serve a wider audience, incorporating venerable materials that instil permanence within these bold silhouette-based forms whilst acknowledging their past through the inclusion of the original plywood.

Illuminating Covent Garden’s iconic East Piazza, and presented as part of the Royal Opera House’s Deloitte Ignite festival, the work will be an intriguing introduction to one of the most powerful operas: The Ring Cycle by Richard Wagner. The Ring Cyclotrope features Act III of Wagner’s Die Walküre, simultaneously recorded at the Royal Opera House on 21 separate cameras capturing all aspects of the performance. With 26 screens in the revolving zoetrope formation, the installation immerses visitors physically and emotionally into a 21st-century take on Wagner’s 19th-century creation.

An installation of iconic Cassina designs is presented to accompany the prints, bringing the pieces to life, creating a connection between the abstract and the real.

South 233

The Design Museum’s annual Designers in Residence programme provides a platform to celebrate new and emerging designers at an early stage in their career. The designers in residence responding to this year’s brief on identity are Adam Nathaniel Furman, Eunhee Jo, Chloe Meineck and Thomas Thwaites.

Ever wondered what the fuss over 3D printing is about? Want to know more about how the things around you are made? Want to know how new technology will change your life? The Future is Here explores these issues and the ever-changing relationships with the designed world, where the boundaries between designer, manufacturer and consumer are becoming increasingly blurred. Significant changes in the way objects are made, the materials they are made of and the type of objects that people use have the potential to affect commerce, industry and the environment as profoundly as any past Industrial Revolution.

Can a TV remote control become a sensual, playful, or valuable object? Sixty years after the creation of “Lazy Bones,” the remote control seems to have remained frozen as a collection of buttons in a block of plastic. However, it is a daily link between our real body and the digital world sitting in the middle of the living room. EPFL+ECAL Lab, in collaboration with the Kudelski Group, has invited four art schools to rethink this icon of our relation to technical devices: the Royal College of Art, ENSCI – Les Ateliers, Parsons – the New School for Design, and ECAL.

How could social network interfaces be more connected with real life? EPFL+ECAL Lab, in collaboration with the Helen Hamlyn Centre, presents a two-year research programme, with propositions from Peter Ziegler, Thibault Brevet and Cem Sever.
