دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 17ديسمبر 2012:تقام الدورة الثانية من معرض «أيام التصميم – دبي» خلال الفترة بين 21-18 مارس 2013، وستعرض خلال الدورة المرتقبة 29صالة من حول العالم تصاميم وإبداعات فريدة بجودة أخاذة، إذ سيزداد عدد العارضين خلال النسخة الثانية بنسبة 30 بالمئة مقارنة بنسخة عام 2012. وبالإضافة إلى كونه المعرض الوحيد المتخصِّص في عالم التصميم في الشرق الأوسط وجنوب آسيا، يُعدُّ «أيام التصميم – دبي» أحد أكثر معارض التصميم تنوعاً في العالم، إذ يشارك به حشدٌ من كبار المصمِّمين ونخبة من أشهر الصالات الفنية من مختلف أنحاء العالم، الأمر الذي وطَّد مكانة دبي كملتقى سنوي لمشاهير عالم التصميم وكوجهة للباحثين عن أحدث مفاهيم التصميم من حول العالم.

ويتميُّز «أيام التصميم – دبي» من خلال التصاميم التركيبية، والفعاليات العامة المرافقة التي تشمل ورش العمل الإبداعية والتدريبية واللقاءات الحوارية بدعم من «هيئة دبي للثقافة والفنون»، الهيئة المعنية بشؤون الثقافة والفنون والتراث في الإمارة. كما الهيئة الفنية التي تعمل على تعزيز مكانة الإمارة كمدينة عربية عالمية تساهم في رسم ملامح المشهد الثقافي والفني في المنطقة والعالم، كما يتميز هذا الحدث بموقعه الفريد عند قاعدة «برج خليفة»، أعلى ناطحة سحاب في العالم والذي يشكل عماد “وسط مدينة دبي”، المشروع الأبرز لشركة إعمار العقارية والذي يوصف بقلب العالم الحاضر.

وبهذه المناسبة، قال سيريل زاميت، مدير معرض «أيام التصميم – دبي»: “في أقل من عامين، بات «أيام التصميم – دبي» أحد أكثر معارض التصميم تنوعاً في العالم، ليساهم بذلك في ترسيخ مكانة دبي كملتقى دولي للمقتنين والمصمِّمين والقيِّمين والقائمين على الصالات الفنية، المخضرمين والصاعدين على السواء. وبفضل «أيام التصميم – دبي» وجدت دبي مكانها المستحق بين نخبة من مُدن العالم التي دأبت على استضافة معارض متخصِّصة تجمع بين الفن والتصميم في آنٍ معاً، مثل لندن وباريس وبازل ونيويورك وميامي”.

وبعد أن باتت التصاميم محدودة الإصدار تعتبر من الاستثمارات الآمنة والواعدة على المستوى الإقليمي والدولي، تتضمن النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» أعمالاً عصرية لم تُر من قبل، جنباً إلى جنب مع أعمال كلاسيكية من القرن العشرين. ومن أشهر الصالات العالمية التي شاركت بالنسخة الأولى من «أيام التصميم – دبي» وتعود مجدداً للمشاركة في الدورة الثانية يذكر كل من:Carpenters Workshop Gallery (لندن/باريس)، وR20^th Century (نيويورك)، وGallery Seomi (سول)، ومن الصالات التي تستعد لمشاركتها الأولى بالدورة المرتقبة Broached Commissions (ملبورن) وGaleriaMexicana de Diseño(مكسيكو سيتي). كما تضاعفت المشاركة الإقليمية في النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» وسط تنافس الصالات الإقليمية على المشاركة، لاسيما من دبي،والكويت، وبيروت.

ومن أهمّ ما تتسم به الدورة المرتقبة التركيز على التصاميم المستدامة، وكذلك توسُّع نطاق قسم «تصاميم حسب الطلب» حيث من المتوقع أن تعرض أربع دُور متخصِّصة رؤيتها وإبداعاتها. ولصقل اللمسة الإبداعية للجيل القادم من مشاهير التصميم تشمل النسخة الثانية من «أيام التصميم – دبي» برنامجاً لإثراء قدراتهم الإبداعية ضمن البرنامج العام الذي يستمر لأربعة أيام ويشمل لقاءات حوارية وورش عمل تنصبّ على قضايا التصميم الراهنة.

وحظيت النسخة الثانية المرتقبة من «أيام التصميم – دبي» بدعم نخبة من أشهر الأسماء العالمية والإقليمية، منها دار المجوهرات الفخمة «فان كليف آند آربلز» التي ستعرض مفهوماً إبداعياً مميزاً سيسلط الضوء على مجموعة مرموقة من المجوهرات الأخاذة التي يمكن تعديل أفكارها بحيث يمكن ارتدائها بأكثر من أسلوب. بالإضافة إلى شركة التطوير العقاري العالمية “إعمار”، وشركة صناعة السيارات الألمانية «أودي»، جنباً إلى جنب مع «هيئة دبي للثقافة والفنون» التي ستكون شريكاً استراتيجياً للحدث. يُذكر أن «أيام التصميم – دبي» ينضوي تحت مِظلة «أسبوع الفن»، التظاهرة الثقافية الإبداعية الأكبر من نوعها في الشرق الأوسط، حيث من المتوقع أن تستقطب في شهر مارس 2013الألاف من الزوار من الدولة والعالم.

The pianomaker Pleyel and Peugeot Design Lab have developed a revolutionary piano. Although the piano pursues one of the classical codes of the world of pianos with its black lacquer finish, Peugeot Design Lab has totally reinterpreted the instrument by shaking up all the traditional volume, ergonomics and design codes. The greatest piece of groundbreaking ingenuity was to bring down the piano mechanism and align it perfectly with the pianist’s keyboard.

Peugeot Design Lab has invented a formal language that is unique in this sector and has created an experiential object. For the first time ever in piano history, the pianist can hear the sound of the instrument with incomparable precision. And, at the same time, the public can see the artiste playing from every conceivable angle. The pianist’s hands take centrestage.

Month after month the Pleyel and Peugeot Design Lab teams nurtured this extraordinary innovation which breaks new technical and visual ground in the history of pianos. Discover its soft, inherent silhouette, which looks like the aerodynamic hull of a boat. Ergonomically revolutionary, this baby grand piano also offers acoustics never heard before.

Focusing on Peugeot’s new identity and on Pleyel’s desire to establish itself in design and in the contemporary world, this piano harmoniously exemplifies the talents of both companies. By merging their DNA, the two brands have created a piano that is out of this world.

AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT BROOKE SHIELDS’S MANHATTAN HOME

Text by Judith Thurman |Photography by William Waldron

Brooke Shields has packed more professional accomplishment into her 40-some-odd years than many people twice her age, though it helps that she started modeling as an infant, acting at nine (she was 11 when she played the title role in Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby), and that, at 14, she became the youngest cover girl in Vogue’s history. But just as her beauty seems to deepen without dimming, Shields keeps reinventing herself, as an author, a producer, a product spokeswoman, and a mental-health advocate. Her latest venture is designing jewelry.

When you wear that many hats, you need a big place to hang them. Last July—shortly after Shields joined the Broadway cast of The Addams Family, as Morticia—she moved into a discreetly luxurious four-story Greenwich Village townhouse, where she gets to play the role closest to her heart: passionate homebody.

ANDREA BRANZI / TREES / PARIS

Andrea Branzi, architecture, arts, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, French finesse, furniture, interior design, interior design consultants

10 MARCH – 16 MAY 2012 / PARIS

“When birch tree forests are pruned or agricultural cultivations of fruit trees are picked, they are dispersed or burned. I have always been fascinated by these parts of nature, that continue to give off a grand expressive force, more powerful when they are combined with modern, perfect and industrial materials. They become mysterious, always diverse, unique, unrepeatable and somewhat sacred presences.
Trees, trunks and branches are part of our ancient culture but also of actual culture, because in the age of globalization, design searches to trace recognizable ‘anthropologoical’ platforms. The collection, ‘Trees’ consists to place simple, everyday objects, books, and images next to the strange presence of branches and trunks, like in the reality of the world.”

Andrea Branzi
In a short time, Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris has already treated us to a regular and rich demonstration of Design Art: in March, Andrea Branzi will be given space to express himself as a free and committed thinker with this new collection « Trees ».
In a space that was once the Galerie de France, a place where contemporary art flourished, Catherine Thieck will come back to pose a few objects from her own collection on the shelves of Andrea Branzi. Works by Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Méret Oppenheim and Rebecca Horn will fill the shelves
of an artist whose personality and preoccupations have remained consistently at the avant-garde of the architecture and design world.
The Italian architect and designer Andrea Branzi, born in 1938, was ahead of his time in Florence in 1966 when he set up Archizoom associati, the first, internationally renowned avant-garde group. In order to define this remarkable character, one must use the vocabulary of projects: theoretical research, new
design, experimental laboratory, leeway, mass creativity, new organisation… He also knows how to share his battles, he coordinates and curates exhibitions, he regularly exhibits his personal work, publishes manifestos, teaches generations of students and participates in conferences all over the world. In fact, multiple spaces would be needed to cover all angles of the man: a screening room, an auditorium, a museum and more than a few metres of shelf space.
Andrea Branzi is passionate about the morphology of urban space; he breaks down the accepted codes and vigorously shakes the foundations of the ever-present conventions. Today more than ever, this insatiable troublemaker continues to disrupt the status quo and places humans and nature at the centre of his thinking.
« Trees » represents a continuation of his thinking on architecture. He creates a minimalist space of shelves, veritable pieces of micro-architecture made from aluminium that spread out in neo-plastic bursts like a Mondrian. However, through the splits in the frame, Andrea Branzi introduces trunks and twigs gathered in the wild. This strange encounter that began in the eighties with « Animali domestici », questions the duality of the nature-culture relationship.
With « Trees », he adds a dimension, an extra slice of soul, as nature becomes art, a contemporary icon, an emotional window linked to the knowledge of the vital importance of this precious, common heritage.
Pieces on show:
Seven shelves, in different shapes and formats, in aluminium and birch wood.
Trees 1-2-3-4, Trees 5, Trees 8-9

Misewell’s Eileen Floor Lamp

Eileen is one elegant partner in any room. She cooly leans against a wall or corner by way of a steel base, aluminum neck and spun shade. Machined, stainless-steel fittings allow neck to smoothly pivot, while creating friction for shade height adjustability. Milwaukee-based Vincent and Paul Georgeson launched Misewell in 2008, and caught the attention of the design world–and us–when they took the Best New Designer Award at ICFF the next year. The brothers believe in furniture that is simple, functional and honest. They are committed to responsible manufacturing, creating long-lasting, high-quality furnishings with minimal environmental impact. Besides steel and aluminum, the Georgeson’s use American, mostly locally sourced maple and walnut.

Nud Pendant Light Cord

The details separate great from good design, said designer-architect Mies van der Rohe. With that in mind, Staffan Svensson considered the pedestrian light cord and holder and founded NUD Collection. He also gave designers Eva Angwald and Charlotte Falck carte blanch when it comes to colors. Transform a room in a snap. Comes with an E27 porcelain socket, white plastic ceiling cap and 118″ of textile cable. Approved for North American use.

Check out the rest of their collection in their Venice store.

A+R is at 1121-1 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291

You’ve been leading two lives.

At your desk, you’re all business. When you’re partying, you’re… all business. About perfecting the worm.

But it’s time to think bigger. Because your desk could bethe party…

Introducing the LD120 Hi-Fi Soundsystem+Laptop Desk—in short, it’s a desk that doubles as a profoundly powerful European DJ booth—available now at A+R on Abbot Kinney.

Suddenly, it’s like your current desk is a bland, squirming caterpillar… instead of a beautiful butterfly whose beating wings will melt your face off. (Figuratively speaking… we hope.)

And sure, as for the desk aspect of this thing, you can sit here with your laptop and type things. Works great. Hours later, it’ll still hold up your laptop. But at a certain point, whether you set this up in your office or your living room, you’re going to want to plug your laptop right into it. Invite a few dozen people to join you. And see what it can do.

It’s got a digital-to-analog converter built in (makes the sound seem much less like it’s coming out of a laptop), along with a whopping seven speakers—two of which are at the back of the desk, made to reflect sound off the wall behind for even greater audio firepower.

The office next door is gonna love you.
