An interesting article by Dezeen discusses the "Kinship" exhibition, a collaborative effort by designer Birgitte Due Madsen, architect Anne Dorthe Vester, and curator Henriette Noermark. The exhibition, held at the Alice Folker Gallery in Copenhagen, is a testament to the power of collaboration and the innovative use of materials in design.The exhibition showcased 18 unique designs, each a blend of terrazzo, wood, metal, resin, marble, and glass. The trio's collaborative creation - terrazzo and oak chairs- caught our attention. These pieces were aesthetically pleasing and environmentally conscious, with terrazzo made from recycled materials.The design process for these chairs was an experiment in direct collaboration, with the trio using their previous works as a foundation to create a new collective collection. This approach resulted in a consistent aesthetic and visual language beautifully reflected in their shared terrazzo furniture.The "Kinship" exhibition is a reminder of the magic that can happen when designers collaborate, bringing their unique skills and experiences to the table. It inspires all of us in the design world to continue pushing boundaries, exploring new materials, and embracing collaboration.Read the full article by Dezeen below.#barclayinteriors #interiordesign #collaboration #innovation #sustainability

Daniel Sparrowspoke on specifying motorised blinds and their fabrics, with occupant needs in mind, at both the Leeds and EdinburghCEDIA EMEATech Summits. The key takeaways?1. People must be at the centre of design decisions - considering aesthetics alongside comfort and utility is a priority.2. The visual impact of blinds goes beyond how they look while hanging in the window; fabric choice can affect a homeowner’s view, as well as safeguard their privacy.3. Don’t just think visually; think of the benefits of protection to artwork and furnishings from harmful UV rays.https://lnkd.in/eV4EzufY#design #lutron #cediatechsummit

“Unveiling Elegance in Imperfection: My Journey with “Crumbled & Cracked”Delighted to share one of my latest projects, a vivid embodiment of the ‘Crumbled & Cracked’ design philosophy. This concept, pioneered by Tarek Wahid, champions the beauty found in decay, imperfection, and the raw authenticity of materials.In this space, every crack tells a story, and every worn surface is a testament to the passage of time. Here’s a glimpse into how ‘Crumbled & Cracked’ comes to life:1.Raw Textures: Notice the deliberate use of untreated, weathered materials that speak volumes of their journey through time.2.Contrasting Elements: Amidst the rustic charm, modern furnishings find their place, offering a harmonious blend of the old and new.3.Light and Shadow Play: The strategic use of lighting accentuates the textures, highlighting the depth and character of the space.4.Sustainable Approach: In line with sustainable practices, this project repurposes existing materials, breathing new life into what was once considered old and forgotten.This design is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a narrative of resilience, history, and the beauty of embracing imperfection.I’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach. How do you see ‘Crumbled & Cracked’ influencing contemporary design?#CrumbledAndCracked #DesignPhilosophy #ElegantDecay #SustainableDesign”
