Det tekstile møbel: varme møbelnyheder i en kold tid. Upcoming designere indtager Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010

Unfold the Scandinavian Design Scene er mottoet for Stockholm Furniture Fair 9. – 13. februar 2010. Designstuderende fra Danmarks Designskole udfolder talentet og viser varme møbelnyheder bygget på tekstiler

For møbeldesignere er det almindeligt først at vælge tekstiler, når alt andet er på plads. Men hvad hvis man nu vender det hele på hovedet: tager tekstilet og lader det diktere, hvordan møblet skal være? Den udfordring fik studerende fra Danmarks Designskole stillet, som en opgave, der provokerede til at tænke anderledes. ”Det var præcis dét, der var planen”, forklarer underviser Andreas Lund. ”Vi ville have vores studerende til at overraske. At de så også lavede møbler, der i mange tilfælde er så færdige, at de nemt kan gå i produktion, det var en rigtig god overraskelse”.

De 16 møbler bliver nu præsenteret på Stockholm Furniture Fair for 40.000 besøgende.

Rektor Anne-Louise Sommer sender stolt de 16 projekter ud i verden: “På Danmarks Designskole har vi en lang tradition for materialeeksperimenter. I de udstillede projekter går materiale- og formeksperimenter hånd i hånd. Ønsket om fornyelse er centralt, og den utraditionelle måde at gå til designprocessen på, sætter overraskende spor i de færdige møbler. Samtidig vidner både proces og resultat om, at de studerende på nytænkende vis lader sig inspirere af mødet mellem forskellige fagligheder. I dette tilfælde mødet mellem tekstil og møbel”, siger hun.

Tekstile bobler, møbelorigami, et ’Secret club house’ og en skulpturel ’Chair Force One’. De 16 møbler er designet af studerende, på tværs af specialeområderne Tekstildesign og Møbeldesign, undervist af Grethe Weber, Thomas E. Alken og Andreas Lund, Danmarks Designskole.

”Roll it, tie it, pull it over … Sit on it, dream on it, love it”

Sådan opsummerer Caroline Grebasch sit foldemøbel og sætter ord på hele varmen i et møbel. Følg opfordring og find de 16 produktionsparate siddemøbler, der folder sig ud i Stockholm den 9. -13. februar:

The textile furniture: hot furniture news in a cold time. Upcoming designers occupy Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010

Unfold the Scandinavian design scene is the motto for the Stockholm Furniture Fair 9th - 13 February 2010. Design Students from Danish Design School are showing their talent with furniture based on textile selection.

For furniture designers, it is common to select fabrics, when everything else is in place. But what if you turn everything upside down: take the fabric and let it dictate how the furniture should be?

This challenge was given students from the Danish School of Design and it provoked them into thinking differently. Teacher Andreas Lund explains "We wanted our students to be surprised and to surprise us back. This they did, even making furniture, which in many cases was so complete that they easily could go into production"

The 16 furnitures are now presented at the Stockholm Furniture Fair to 40,000 visitors.

Headteacher Anne-Louise Sommer proudly send the 16 projects out into the world: "At Danish Design School we have a long tradition of material experimentation. In the exhibited projects material and shape experiments go hand in hand. The quest for innovation is key, and the unconventional way of this design process, make surprising marks to the finished furniture. Both process and outcome show that the students can use and connect different inputs in a new way, making exiting furniture, she says.

Textile bubbles, furniture origami, a 'Secret Club House' and a sculptural 'Chair Force One'. The 16's furniture is designed by students across the lines of Textile Design and Furniture design, taught by Grethe Weber, Thomas E. Alken, Andreas Lund, Denmark's Design School.
