DesignMarketo
at the London
Design Festival 2011

For Bar Alto 2011 we invited Maurizio, the owner of the famous Bar Basso in Milan, to come over; partnering with Duralex, we also asked friends and designers Harry Thaler, Ally Capellino, Maria Jeglinska, Loris & Livia, Use Dev Org, Tomas Alonso, Nitzan Cohen, Lars Frideen, Chiara Onida and Michael Marriott to produce limited editions of their legendary tumbler, as well as accessories around it. Ally Capellino is launching a limited edition of the Bar Alto apron and to celebrate the opening of her new shop and our recent collaboration, there will be some surprises for our guests.
Their work will be on show and you will have the possibility to take home their productions.

Travelling from Paris Design Week, DE STIHL Camp’s idea revolves around a machine that produces steam for energy. Hot water baths and pressure cookers can initially be producing bentwood. The steam will loosen the fibers of wood to make it soft. The device goes far beyond a mere tool of production because the steam can also be used to prepare a meal as well as to power a sauna. The machine becomes a reason for making a social connection in a low-tech and slow context: we produce, we eat, we relax.

Head Written with Amandine Alessandra.

It will be based on stop motion and animation. We will ask a few participants to move within the iconic building space while wearing a special colour garment, to create a set of letters or signs that will then be animated into a short film. Wednesday 25.05.11 from 2-4pm

Animated Words with Alexandre Bettler

It will be inviting participants to choose a word, to cut out cards letters and to make the word into a mobile. We will then stop motion photograph the mobile during a short time until the specific point when all the letters match to form the word again. Thursday 26.05.11 from 5-pm

We will be featuring the Cactus Shelf, a beautiful and practical shelving system designed by Lars Frideen. The ‘cactus’ is constructed of a chosen number of elements that fit together very simply. This allows for the shelf to evolve and grow in slow motion… 24-26.05.11 – All day

The workshops are free and open to all. They are limited to about 10-15 people and booking by email is essential. Bookings are based on a first booked/first served basis. To register: info@designmarketo.com.

The 15 degree wall shelves designed and made by Lars Frideen are featured in the current Wallpaper issue (April 2011)—IDEABOOKS used those for their popup shop at St Martins Lane in London, and OMMU bookshopin Athen use them to feature their most interesting publications.

In the issue the work of Lars is used to showcase a “mood-enhancing mix of this month’s hottest products”.

The shelves are available from DesignMarketo directly but you might want to get in touch first to check dimension and custom sizing and modules.

The 10 degree chair by Lars Frideen is featured in a large scale 10-page shoot for the Space section titled The New Cubism, appearing in the current issue of Wallpaper* Magazine (May 2010); stage design by Nicola Yeoman, photography by Dan Tobin Smith.
