Milan Design Week 2013 ? part one

From David Report

We left Milan Design Week 2013 with different impressions. Some things were very disappointing. Superstudio seems to be totally out of artist direction and has been in a negative trend for many years (so far from the first years when Giulio Cappellini hand-picked the different brands). Also the Zona Tortona area in general was weak this year. Moooi was standing out, but mostly because of the blow-up size of the show. On the other hand we found some a couple of interesting shows and places at ... Quick Read

Front at Milan Design Week 2013

From David Report

Using different counterweights, it's possible to change its shape. 3Table for Porro consists of three tables in different materials that are connected, ... Quick Read

Ascent table light by Daniel Rybakken

From David Report

Ascent is a table light by Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken for Luceplan. Ascent uses the same archetypical head found on Counterbalance, which I made for Luceplan last year, mounted on a slender vertical stem. By moving the head along the stem, the light intensity goes from being turned off at the bottom position, to gradually ascending to the full light output at the top, says Daniel Rybakken. ...
