VASE vs. VASES Exhibition at HELMRINDERKNECHT

VASE vs. VASES HELMRINDERKNECHT

Berlin-based design gallery HELMRINDERKNECHT contemporary design dedicates its second show completely to the subject of vases. The exhibition VASE vs. VASES brings together contemporary positions of 15 national and international designers and artists. Works of renowned designers and young upcoming design talents are shown in the creative tension between diverse forms of design engineering, and a variety of materials and production approaches. The novel handling of experimental and conceptual design, figuration, abstraction and craftsmanship result in vases that dance, that shine, that are actually a plant, that used to be a bag, and much more. The exhibition runs from November 14th 2009 through January 9th 2010.

"Age of the World" by Mathieu LehanneurAug. 07 2009 12:05am | By Asia - Event Bug | Permalink

Age of the world

When I first saw these I wasn't quite sure what to think - the story is quite fascinating! The black containers represent the age-pyramids of the populations of France, Japan, Egypt, Russia and the USA moulded in 3D. The dramatic display creates a radical representation of our human bondage in this world from birth to death. The concept is very unique and powerful. "Age of the world" designed by Mathieu Lehanneur will be shown at the Issey Miyake store in Paris during Fashion Week in October.
