Fauteuil Oyster par Kawamura Ganjavian

Bravo Vincent c’est pas au ras des paquerettes, tes decouvertes en design… C’est vert, c’est frais, c’est jeune …. Je me demande ce qu’en pense « mon ennemi virtuel » Maupado, decorateur textuel qui me flanque à tour de bras des 0 sur mon blog note
J’ai tous les jours sur mon bureau des dossiers de jeunes designers enfermés dans des bulles d’irrealité qui tiennent en 5 lignes avec des projets acadabrantesques comme avait écrit Villepin pour Chirac et des textes creux et verbeux qui ferait fuir un sorbonnard de la vieille école , de la république des lettres… de licenciements…

Le chaise pour s’asseoir par terre c’est bien mais rare à Milan et limité à certaines lattitudes . La table multi pieds c’est pas le pied , un peu neophite, vu et revu sous toutes lattitudes ….en alu coloré au Japon, en acier au Japon et au USA et ailleurs en bois, en UK et Hollande
Pour le culbuto façon poire à lavement , c’est quoi, un projet ou un sujet d’indignation?

Pour ceux qui ne voient rien, qui n’entendent rien au design…. j’ai un projet de kawamura-ganjavian pour se faire voir dans les blogs à sujets d’indignation et à cathartis c’est à dire les blogs français les plus influents d’après les stats….

« Une poire à lavement » ?? 😀

« One particular scent can bring back more memories than a thousand pictures. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to store smells the same way we store photographs? SCENTER is a depository of scents. Concentrated personal fragrances can be stored inside compact cartridges, their scent being released through a nozzle upon pressing the bellows thus evoking the memories embedded in them. »

j’aime cette idée de stocker des odeurs significatives pour nous, mettant en action notre mémoire olfactive.. des cartouches à « souvenirs »

C’est Image immediate… L’image domine, anéantit même le texte ( le temps de lecture de + en + court sur les blogs ). C’est la recherche de l’attention immediate qui a une valeur économique car de + en+ rareds le la société de tous les écrans et du buzzz permanent qui tue l’attention profonde… et petit à petit on devient de +en + maléable, influençable, futile, sensible aux effets de mode , au trunover des produits et des gens ( peopolisation, teleralité) de la société d’hyperconsommation…

Pour moi la selection la plus ouverte est celle d’Emmanuel Chaussade qui couvre beaucoup de champs du design aussi bien le design arty,le design de galerie, le design narratif, expressif , conceptuel, de contestation, que le design de star ,le design de promotion,le design de boutique, le design d’artisanat, le design industriel, le design de solution,le design caché, le design d’experimentation,le design de recyclage,le design vert, le design diy ….Aucun blog francophone ne couvre tout les champs du design…en particulier le design pour 90% du monde: le design social et le design humanitaire.
