li edelkoort: young european design + lunch

milan 2009/

me and robert andriessen from designguide.tv received an invitation for a cosy lunch from fancy van de vorst , account manager creative industry eindhoven, at spazio rossana orlandi, a prestigious design studio in the center of milan.

lovely women served delicious pasta for a good cause. and after all I had the chance to do a quick interview with lidewij edelkoort, dutch trend forecaster and curator of the ‘talent milano’ exhibition about the idea to bring the exhibition to milan design week.

prooff: xxl flood light

milan 2009/

dutch brand prooff presented the ear chair by studio makkink & bey at superstudio piu. the chair was designed in 2002 but went in production now. .. I had a look on it at the stand and I just had eyes for the lighting… these were my real eye-catchers. and I don’t even know if they belong to the collection.
