september 2019 : Elegant Specimens – Bocci 79 Berlin

may 2019: Radical Craft – Direktorenhaus Berlin

„Die Jahresausstellung des Direktorenhauses,„Radical Craft′′, stellt 69 Gestalter und Kunsthandwerker vor, die zeigen, welche Bedeutung dem Kunsthandwerk heute in gesellschaftlichen Zukunftsentwürfen zukommt. In der modernisierten Warenwelt gibt es ja der Tendenz des Marktverlaufs nach keine statischen Güter mehr, sondern nur noch Besserungen – keine stabilen Qualitäten, sondern nur Überbietungs- und Steigerungswaren. Die Ausstellung „Radical Craft“ zeigt, wie zeitgenössisches Produktdesign dieser Spirale entkommt, indem es sich auf seine Ursprünge bezieht: auf die experimentellen Vorläufer in der konzeptionellen Kunst und im radikalen Kunsthandwerk. Diese Ansätze des Kritischen zeigen auf, wie wichtig die Qualität der Produkte, die wir jedenTag nutzen, ist: sie stellt eine notwendige Bedingung für eine umfassende wirtschaftliche Wende dar, die letztlich eine kulturelle ist.′′ Direktorenhaus

 

october 2018: dutch design week einhoven – Like Leather at Yksi Expo

liegend 5

 

 „The Like Leather exhibition shows a number of products, concepts and production methods developed by designers looking for alternatives to leather. Mostly from the desire to contribute to a circular economy and a sustainable world.

Some of them start with a totally different source – the skin of fish for example, or the entrails and bladders of sheep, pigs and cows. Materials that usually end up with the waste. There are also designers who use vegetable fibers such as the leaves of a palm tree. And even from coffee grounds you can make a cover for a notebook. Other examples show designers trying to extend the life span of leather or to recycle leather goods.“ Yksi Expo
