31 March > 3 June 2012Eternal spring - Barbara Nanning
After having built a career as a ceramics artist, Barbara Nanning began to work with glass for the first time in 1994.
This Dutch glass artist unites tradition and innovation. Her solo exhibition displays no less than 200 floral and plant forms and installations. All objects in white opaque glass were mouth blown and hand shaped. They have a porcelain-like look.
The floral forms, realized with incredible refinement and a sharp eye for detail, are based on the exuberant 18th-century Meissen porcelain and on monumental bouquet-shaped table centerpieces from the 1920s, produced by Venini on the Italian island of Murano.
31 March > 3 June 2012Dirk Wynants - Design Works?
Dirk Wynants is the founder, chief designer and Big Boss of Extremis, the company of contemporary outdoor furniture established in 1994. The first design he presented, Gargantua, a round table with integrated seats, was a roaring success.
‘Tools for togetherness’ is his point of departure. The designs BeHive, Yeeha, DoNut and Kosmos invite the users in a surprising and unconventional way to eat and drink together. Every one of these products by Extremis are the result of a meticulous design process.
