DAAily bar Live Talk at Milan Design Week: Douglas Mandry | News | Architonic

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

The story of the memorable curtain brightening up the DAAily bar at Swiss Corner during Milan Design Week is about more than just its colourful, natural patterns. As the Swiss-born artist Douglas Mandry, creator of the work in collaboration with Bally and Christian Fischbacher, explained during his Live Talk alongside the installation at the DAAily bar, 'My work is driven by the global change we're facing, addressing issues of climate change and environmental c…

'A Statement of Form' offers more than just hot air at Milan Design Week | | Architonic

Legend has it that a thick fog caused married couple Angelo Campiglio and Gigina Necchi Campiglio from Pavia to get lost on the way to their hotel after an evening of opera at La Scala in Milan. As a result, they came across a building plot for sale in Via Mozart, and it was precisely here that the architect Piero Portaluppi built the now-famous Villa Necchi Campiglio for them and Gigina's sister Nedda. A good 90 years later, water vapour was again back in focus at this magical place – though this time in a more useful form. On the occasion of Milan Design Week, luxury kitchen appliance manufacturer <a href="https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/gaggenau/3100496">Gaggenau</a> broke away from the idea of a classic product presentation in order to make the energy of steam perceptible and the soul of the company tangible with an interactive installation here in the middle of the metropolis. A real work of art for all the senses and one of the highlights of <a href="https://www.architoni…

A neighbourhood feel for the office | News | Architonic

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

Many predicted that COVID-19 would leave us with a collective agoraphobia, a lingering jitters about being in crowded public spaces or places. Anyone who has recently been to a restaurant, bar, theatre or airport (especially an airport!) will have realised the opposite may be true, we are desperate to hurl ourselves back into the human hurly burly. There is one area of life that seems to be an exception. The return to the office, even for the two or three days a week that hybrid arrangements now allow, has been slow and grudging. As international work environment expert <a href=https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/steelcase/3101474>Steelcase</a> points out, most employers and employees have enthusiastically embraced hybrid working, as a concept. Over 70% of global leaders, Steelcase says, are giving people the option to work at home or otherwise out of the office two or three days a week. It's the reality of office life that's the problem. For Steelcase, the reason for this reluctan…

How Steelcase makes offices a destination with Signature Spaces | News | Architonic

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

The new workplace is a destination, not a duty. It is there to create a sense of purpose and serve multiple purposes. The traditional open plan office with ranks of identical desks, the occasional, badly positioned break-out space and a messy kitchen area isn't going to inspire or serve the new purpose and productivity-focused hybrid worker. 'If people make the effort to come into the office, they'll expect a better work experience – where, like at home, they are comfortable and have greater control over their environment,' says Gale Moutrey, <a href=https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/steelcase/3101474>Steelcase</a>'s vice president, Workplace Innovation. Steelcase's <a href="https://www.steelcase.com/eu-en/spaces/workplace/signature-applications/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Signature Spaces</a> are task-specific, customisable settings, carefully designed and curated to promote high-performance and holistic wellbeing. The elegant Lounge Space is perfect for relaxed and informal…

Taking the camping spirit inside with Steelcase Work Tents | News | Architonic

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

Sometimes great design is a matter of recontextualisation, taking something that works in one place, adapting it and trying it somewhere else. <a href=https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/steelcase/3101474>Steelcase</a>'s new Work Tents are an ingenious case in point. Connecting with nature has experienced a recent revival, and born-again campers have discovered that tent design has advanced radically over the last decade, making use of super-strong, super-light materials to create spacious and thoroughly inviting temporary shelters. Steelcase made their smart tangential leap following research into workplace privacy, and particularly the need for visual privacy, with the University of Wisconsin. The Steelcase Design team set out to create a solution that was portable, inexpensive, flexible and light. And as the team included a number of outdoor enthusiasts, familiar with the sense of safety and privacy a tent can offer, they had a clear direction of travel. The team reached out to

The Design Educates Awards takes us back to school | News | Architonic

Posted: 28 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

The <a href="https://designeducates.com/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Design Educates Awards</a> has just announced a call for submissions for its 2023 awards cycle. <a href="https://www.architonic.com/en/accounts/architects/10005/1">Architects</a> and <a href="https://www.architonic.com/en/accounts/designers/10006/1">designers</a> can submit their projects in four categories: product design, architectural design, universal design and responsive design. What makes the <a href="https://designeducates.com/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Design Educates Awards</a> different from other awards for architects and designers? Above all, it is not the beauty of the projects that is most important for their evaluation. Aesthetics don't play the most crucial role. Instead, the awards focuses on each submission's educational element, because architecture and design can educate by influencing their audience, their surroundings and the environment.

Turning the tables with Mirage's new EpicArc series | News | Architonic

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 03:00 PM PDT

We understand the potential of ceramics and stoneware. We have been making wondrous ceramic objects for millennia. The advance of civilisations is mapped and understood by what they did with ceramics. You might well imagine then that the functional and decorative possibilities for ceramics have been fully explored and realised. The Italian porcelain stoneware specialist <a href="https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/mirage/3103439">Mirage</a> disagrees and is proving that the creative potential for ceramics is far from exhausted. <a href="https://www.architonic.com/en/microsite/mirage/3103439">Mirage</a> is one of the world's leading, and most innovative, suppliers of porcelain stoneware for exteriors and interiors.
