Pain In Chest From Protien Shake

juries design / didier saco


as high tide after low tide, our years are punctuated with events that come back every year, faithful, and allow us all at the same time sequence passing time bounds recurrent and reassuring, and see how, over the years, the world and us, evolve

in April, the peas are appearing on the market, and sometimes in May, when Time is reluctant and under the climatic
in July, are the festivals that provide programming or headliner, staging and text each year fade and give way to the troops, to installation and
story in August, is the appointment with the big books purchased in the year and that publishers, more and more reluctant to publish, as the time to read and we fix our attention on more than 600 pages are reduced
in September, are the peaches, always ugly, always tasty, and each year a little bit more rare, hard to sell because

and in June, it is the juries of design schools, because we provide exceptional meetings, beyond meetings with designers, tomorrow, will work with us and, after tomorrow, we will replace the vision of perception of design by young generations


how to judge the design?
basis on which to watch a work of designer and prospects?
what is a good design? is there a good design? who are we to say and what is the impact of design on the other?

First, there is our light, built from childhood with the love of our parents / or not, more or less / and the values they have shared / taste of introspection and plural, study and service, the corner of the street and the end of the world, time and eternity, reflection and curiosity, intuition and self-confidence then
It is our journey, our studies, our meetings and experiences that we have trained and taught us as much as what works what does not, and processes to understand

and, most importantly, there is the twin of the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can trigger a tornado in Texas: is the smile of the senior Tibetan time, anywhere in the world, it can open a can of sardines, alone, sitting in an armchair in lobby, Airport find the toilet and understand the bias of an exhibition

can feel affection for miles "I remember" by Georges Perec, the local furniture by Jean Prouvé or a silver candlestick in 2010
but "I remember," for Argentina, does not mean anything, our body shapes, even for fans of haagen dass can not spend 4 hours reading a detective novel based on a stiff wooden and metal and 37 000 euros for 16 branches, is a large sum for many

design is essentially the universal
shape, material, color, proportions and balances are there to make disappear all cultural barriers, social , language, training and education

telling us young designers?
First, they tell us many things / each medium they are familiar, separate boxes and industrial design or graphic or web or fabric or other sound or services not covered by their research, as functions typed designers or architects or urban planners or landscape architects or designers or decorators

from them, their desires and their learning, they build typos, videos, packages, furniture, circulation areas and new ways of living the classroom, the abandoned house and children play

they say, and most importantly that design has become plural
this is not new / what is new is the generic approach, from knowledge, to try to achieve well-being at all times and for all and all, senior Tibetan included

good design is the one without manual
one that exceeds the stand the shop and lounge
one that improves, facilitates and advances humanity

if new designers we need to find their place, he is sure they already make us a thousand gifts, starting with their availability and their eyes to a thousand faces / rich trade

How Long Will A Sealed Cigar Last

The 10 Commandments / Anne-Marie Buille


To enter the round of majors each year that support the designer's days, Roche Bobois has decided to fire the imagination by enacting the 10 Commandments of Design /
Awaken your senses and mind You have over
mobility and lightness you bring in
creations of nature inspire you you
social rules you will respect environmental
Ecodesign practices you adopt in your
On the loom you will give your work always
Audaces shapes and technical innovations you dare
For special requests you adjust /
The moments you satisfied
The achievements of the past you will honor
And, as is often the main feelings are associated with the main principles, Roche Bobois we proposed, among other creations of Jean Paul Gaultier, the chair Ben Hur.

There are more than twenty years, in a style much less romantic folds near the result of good intentions, the famous designer Dieter Rams Braun products offered his 10 commandments /
Good design is innovative Good design makes
product
useful Good design is good design aesthetics
contributes to the intelligibility of the product
Good design is unobtrusive
Good design is
honest Good design is durable
Good design is up to the last detail
Good design is concerned with the environment
Good design is minimalist
Sir Jonathan Ive, designer of Apple knows very well today ' Today all he owes to his illustrious predecessor

In the spirit of a fair and simple design such as Dieter Rams developed, whether to retain three
design proposals from all those presented in the rich career of the designer's days this year, for simplicity, we note the good work of David Enon metamorphosis, or how to integrate by a radical design to make it disappear this improbable fluorescent bulb saving energy (see until July 20 at Galerie Tools)
for the right expression for the use, to discover any production factory of the famous Swedish designer Sigward Bernadotte in a beautiful exhibition currently on display at the Swedish Institute and for the appropriateness of an object just to the spirit of the brand, the most difficult exercise for a designer that is, I would choose the beautiful ring created 10 years ago by Andree Putman "who had the audacity and ingenuity to slip on all existing forms of home directory "

Edmonton Executive Chaufer

designer storyteller / didier saco


the notion of public space for jurgen habernas, historian, was formed in France and England from the 18th century, after the newspaper, lounge and coffee

is a space between privacy and the monarchical state which is still in place is by the bourgeoisie, rising class that needs to keep abreast of how state, changes in credit and economic developments, and also to know and convey their reactions to promote itself

this posture was erased when the state was no longer satisfied to arbitrate and intervened increasingly in administering services and in economic activities and when the public media have become the receptacles of opinion, playing more on emotion than on collective development of thinking and information sharing, obeying the incentives of advertising and advertisers / it the journey takes us through Thierry Paquot


who owns public space and what is the role of the designer?

other countries and European help us find an answer
in Japan, compared to public / private status overrides / person, and the passage of domestic space to the joint space is achieved by a series of Overlapping successive terrace, corridor, alley and passage
in the Arab world, the term public space does not exist / the street is an area fraught with dangers that we protect ourselves by making the blind house, and privatization of public the private / public areas, terraces, stalls /

occurs naturally as much history / the Middle Ages, the street is a place of contact, in the classical period, it is a performance space, the industrial revolution, space traffic and, today, a space of connections and networks

since 1980, public space has become plural: public spaces /
after the common space shared by all, "the street and place have become forms of urbanity but are not the basic element that connects these locations together / street facilitates the meeting, but it can also refuse, "according to Jean Rémy, sociologist

indicates the plural as the power given by the multiplicity of decision makers that the gradual disappearance of the single image and the monopoly of the sovereign state

public spaces have become places of multiple expressions, where each decision maker expresses his tastes, his culture, his training and his intentions, for better and sometimes for worse cases, like many of our outings City

is an individual, that Be it shopping, trustee of building, industrial or elected official who chooses the color of the facade of his shop, the model of its balconies, the architecture of its plants, the design of its nuclear waste containers and the logo of his city

facing him, facing her, is also an individual, the designer who will design the shapes, colors and materials, street furniture, traffic in public areas of light and temperature

insights regarding the financing of furniture, it also fits into the modern / each search and find solutions, such as garden plants in Paris, which finances the creation, manufacture and installation of its furniture / benches, trash cans, planters, water fountains and signage / By the call to private sponsorship
everyone can become a donor today's garden plants
through 1800 euros for a single bed and 3 600 for a double bed, the donor may choose the location for its furniture, with a recognition plaque bearing his name and a brief message of his choice

street furniture tells its time, its design, by its forms and materials, as well as its financing and the steps undertaken for the installation, which are also now, often the designer is well

/ designer and story teller is relay / relay between the private and public, between the individual and the collective and / story teller / he tells the story of the strata of the past, changes in our diets and our body / bigger, fatter, heavier / our aspirations / recyclable materials / facilities and developments decisions among state, local and civil society

What Does The Old Ohio Drivers License Look Like

What we missing / Anne-Marie Buille


An air of lament pervades everywhere before the overflow of objects around us "Too many objects, too much material without raises the important question of relevance," said Philippe Starck.
"In the middle of our human history, resolutely political, Philippe Starck urges us to become smarter collectively, to mobilize the intelligence of the social and symbolic values to defend and define creative new ways to" engage the right action moment. "
At this time, he said, the only object still acceptable must prevail will be where its political representation, economic reality that reflects and its ecological dimension.
What's in our future, beyond our disappointment, before the showcase of all that we offer our consumerist Industrial Society.
To restart the machine to innovate, "reconnect with enthusiasm, joyously learning to reinvent the future, what are we missing it?
That is the essence of the problem, the engine of desire has seized.
Desire is the essence of man, says Spinoza, but, unfortunately for him, a long philosophical tradition was inextricably linked to the lack, marketing and conquering new markets did the rest. Bernard Stiegler

developing very powerful state of asphyxiated desire of our societies. He accuses
hyperconsumériste system of capitalism that, by dint of having misappropriated the desire and impulse to the creation of purchase, a company manufactures chilled by the repetition compulsion, unmotivated and self-destructive lost confidence in her and finds less less pleasure in eating.
"Triumph of the drive on the desire that destroys social bonds, creates flocks of evil beings and evil to become, in default of future misery resulting symbolic. "
"The desire for consumption, not desire. "
The desire is not proof of lack of evidence but a power.
And the development of digital technologies that can give us this great power to be involved in the transformation of our society.
In view of new models of bottom-up innovation in the process of inventing itself, we are witnessing the overthrow of the producer / consumer, asset / liability towards the development of a shared distribution model and a real contribution to the infrastructure gathers on preferred territories (clusters), designers, artists, engineers, musicians and managers (a "creative class") to form innovative culture broths *.
Is it the promise of a return of singularities, a reactivation of the desire to found an alliance of the two faces of progress, useful and subtle? This
are now the real challenges of our future design.
"There will be no political future that is not a policy of singularities" *.
At random, about one in Gerard Balzagette exciting exhibition catalog Grand Hornu: "This Ergonomics is not who is the subject of art is something else out of pure functionality and is unusual, the presence of the subject ..., this slight distortion which says the presence of subversive and subtle his desire, and this is immediately political subversion. "

Rethinking the progress of our civilization, reduce our consumption but increase another thing: the quality of social bonds.

In this perspective, do not miss the beautiful moment of conviviality to come: Designer's Days Paris from 9 to 14 June 2010

* Bernard Stiegler, desire asphyxiated

In Progress, Grand Hornu of May 9 to September 12, 2010
