On November 6 & 7 the next DeSForM workshop will take place at the Hochschule fur Gestaltung Offenbach am Main/Germany.
The actual debate about Design & Research shows that there is a need for more and detailed knowledge about the disciplinary aspects of Design.
Inter-, trans- and even multidisciplinary discourses are necessary, because today Design is at the same eye level as other scientific disciplines.
But Design today has its own objects, goals and methods.
Product Semantics and Product Language are fundamental for Design as a discipline.
The HfG Offenbach, as an important centre of product language, is looking forward to hosting the next DeSForM workshop.
Since the 1970's knowledge about Design has been developed continuously - the "Theory of Product Language" is widely recognized as an important disciplinary kernel of Product Design and Design Research.
For the 2008 workshop at the HfG Offenbach researchers and practioners are particularly welcome.

The Tectonic table series is based on the idea of movement within the construction of its shape but also the ability to create unexpected freeform geometry by shifting and juxtaposing several small tables one next to the other.
Hence, these tables are a combination between a plastic and a graphic approach.
The concept comes from the will to create pieces of furniture that are non-static, but also to give the end user the possibility to created their own story and, in a way, their own design when playing with several pieces.
The tables are either very graphic when treated as wire frame structures and more straight forward when used with a plain top.
It is obvious that one can also play with the notion of opened and closed spaces by mixing them all together.
When presented as a wire frame, while looking from above, one can also clearly read in the movement the shape of a rose.

In one of the most renowned and hardest international design competitions, the red dot design award, the Air Purifier Ultraslim by 3M designed by Pininfarina has just received an honourable mention from the top-class expert jury.
With more than 3,200 products submitted to the competition, the product clearly stands out from the masses, because this year the design experts for the first time awarded honourable mentions to those products which distinguished themselves with particularly successful design details.
The festive awards presentation with more than 1,000 guests will take place in the Essen Opera House, the Aalto Theatre, on 23 June 2008.
"We are very proud of receiving an internationally recognized quality label of design such as the red dot - says Paolo Pininfarina, President and CEO of Pininfarina Extra. - The objectives of the project were to create an intuitive and unique product.
The sensual shape of the object, cured in every detail, makes the product look like it is breathing, and a clear standout in the market.
This product is one of many successful projects coming from the long lasting partnership between 3M and Pininfarina, such as video projectors Encore and Bravo".
