 Design Graduates Demonstrate Ingenuity at New Designers 2009New Designers 2009 underlined its reputation as the foremost showcase for graduate design as this year's brightest, freshest and most talented graduates presented a remarkable range of new products, inventive furniture, architecture and spatial design schemes, alongside visual communication incorporating graphics and illustrations.Billed as the place to "discover the creative energy of the next generation" New Designers 2009 Part 2 has exceeded all expectations. Architect Amanda Levete opened Part 2 of New Designers addressing guests drawn from across the design profession at the Awards Preview Evening on 15th July. An advocate for creativity, and its value to the economy, she said, "there is a financial crisis, but there is not a creative crisis. It is an incredibly exciting moment, the moment to be bold, to think big and to think diagonally because hand in hand with creativity goes entrepreneurship... Your trump card is your creativity. Creativity is what sets you apart from others; gives you edge; drives you and fulfils you. The big challenge is how to use it to your advantage and to the advantage of the society you live in... I have never really understood why you can't have it all and this is, I suppose, what this call to arms is about. It's about having a belief and confidence that you can weave a path through a present we do not fully understand and create a better and more exciting future." more Design Graduates Demonstrate Ingenuity at New Designers 2009 design directory New Designers > Design Events added by Levent OZLER |
 Ribbon: Coat Rack by HeadSprungRibbon is a wall-mounted coat rack. Inspired by a ribbon blowing in the wind, it bridges the gap between function and art - it is a practical, everyday storage solution when in use, and sculptural wall art when free from coats.Ribbon can hold 5 coats, plus scares, umbrellas, etc. and comes with colour-matching screws for a seamless finish. As it is handmade by craftsmen in India no two units are identical, meaning each unit has its own special character. more www.hea... (241) added by Levent OZLER |

 Stephen Burks: Are You a Hybrid? Design as an Agent of Social ChangeOne of the most sought-after industrial designers of his generation, Stephen Burks continues to use every project opportunity to bridge the gap between the luxury brands he works with and his passionate commitment to design with a conscience.He will be the design keynote speaker at this year IIDEX/NeoCon Canada with the topic of "Are You a Hybrid? Design As an Agent of Social Change." As, the founder of Readymade Projects, based in New York City, Burks believes that technological advances paired with rapidly changing economic realities demand that design rewrite its own rules. His cross-disciplinary approach and his collaborations with artisans in the developing world are the hallmarks of his hybrid practice. As he puts it, "the excesses of the last two decades, resulting from the proliferation of goods, continue to have disastrous consequences for the planet." This global crisis offers an opportunity for design practitioners of every stripe to interact meaningfully with visionaries in business, science, the arts, social work and public policy, and to play a powerful new role in the transformation of our shared reality and emerging future. more www.iid...
