Form&Seek London Design Fair2017
Form&Seek will be part of Dutch Pavilion at London Design Fair on 21-24 September 2017
Form&Seek exhibitions always show a consideration to new crafts, material and processes.
With this upcoming show Form&Seek explores the theme of "Openness" where we focus on what designers with a vision of across borders and cultures, make and design in order to shift attitudes and cultures for the a more inclusive future. Form&Seek explores the idea of Dutch design, not through a national lens but as an attitude and way of thinking.
For the first time ever Form&Seek launches its own collection during London Design Festival as well as a producing and selling platform, enabling consumers and retailers to purchase original and innovative crafted goods from a curated collection founded and run by designers.
The Form&Seek collection focuses on new developed processes and contemporary, globally local craft techniques. Interesting, innovative materials and processes play a key role in the pieces by Form&Seek. Each item tells a story through the way it has been made or the impact it has on our daily lives.
Our new collection expands on a wide range of crafted products from conventional products prototyped with new technologies to products that play with natural formations and uses of material. Each thought provoking, poetic design object has a strong character and personality with the personal mark of the maker.
Joyful Glassware
Category:
Tableware
Designer:
Irina Flore
This series of objects were designed during the COVID19 isolation time. The glassware reflects the designer’s need to surround itself with more colorful materials, shapes but also to work with therapeutic methods which are bringing her joy in the design process.
While being isolated at home, drinking everyday from the same glass or eating from the same plate became monotonous and Irina felt the need to explore the shapes of these everyday objects she is surrounded by.
Irina enjoys very much playing with materials and to start working on something without planning on what the resulting object would be. This process is very different than her everyday design process, where she usually starts from an idea or when she knows what the final product has to be. In this case, she started playing with paper and made collages while imagining how her everyday objects should look like if she wants them to bring a little bit of joy into her home.
This drink-ware set is colorful, naive and it will decorate our tables while being also functional.
Joyful glassware collection is hand crafted by exceptional craftsmen in Istanbul, Turkey and it is intended to bring joy into our homes.
