Our web is part of BIG DIY EXHIBITION MAK WIEN

Nomadic Furniture 3.0

NEW LIBERATED LIVING
WED, 12.06.2013–SUN, 06.10.2013
MAK EXHIBITION HALL
The exhibition takes the current increasing demand for do-it-yourself instructions for furniture and furnishings as an occasion to trace the origins of this movement and pursue them to the present day. The publications Nomadic Furniture 1 and 2 by Victor Papanek and James Hennessey (1973/74) and Enzo Mari‘s Autoprogettazione project (1974) are important references and starting points for depicting the DIY movement as a contemporary phenomenon. Not only have the developmental and production processes in design changed fundamentally since the 1970s, but also the needs and awareness of consumers. At the interface of design, manufacture, and use these alternative design strategies are examined as solutions for socially and ecologically committed design. Partially recreatable furniture and designs by both anonymous and renowned designers will be shown.

Guest Curator Martina Fineder
Curators Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Curator, MAK Furniture and Woodwork Collection, and Thomas Geisler, Curator, MAK Design Collection

Christmas gift tip 2012 part2

How to construct Rietveld Furniture

How to construct Rietveld furniture documents the best known and most typical furniture designs by Gerrit Rietveld down the smallest detail. The book contains working plans, measurements, detail drawings, lists of materials and instructions for the assembly of each piece, as well as historical information about each one. This new edition is considerably expanded from the 1986 edition. Twelve items of furniture have been added, so that there are now in total 35. In addition to ´highlights´ that were not in the original edition, such as the famous but complicated 1919 buffet, less well-known items have also been added, including several pieces from Rietveld´s own ´furniture you can make yourself´ series. This book makes a wide range of Rietveld furniture available for the home constructor, including various chairs (of course including the famous Red-Blue), tables and side tables, bookcases, children´s furniture, benches, lamps, desks and a stacking sectional cabinet. In constructing Rietveld´s furniture designs for yourself, one moves through the proportions, stability, joining techniques and assembly order from the smallest knob to the sculptural qualities of the ultimate furniture, in the same way that making, sitting in and looking at furniture were linked with each other when Rietveld made them.

OPEN DESIGN NOW

Open Design Now
Why design cannot remain exclusive

In design(ing) there is a revolution ongoing that is triggered by an emerging networked community that is sharing digital information about physical products and the ubiquitous availability of production tools and facilities. It transforms design into an open discipline, in which designs are shared and innovation of a large diversity of products is a collaborative and world spanning process.

Open Design Now covers these issues:
Overview of Open Design: practices, tools, licensing systems
As Open Design is a way of designing everyone can participate in, what are emerging practices that facilitate it? what are the tools, existing and needed, to make it happen (physical tools, digital tools, legal tools)?
Underlying principles of Open Design:
Networked tools for distributed physical production, the understanding of the commons as an elementary resource for cultural production, etc.
Implications of Open Design:
What effect does Open Design have on designing, artistic expression and creative processes? on the relationship of producer and consumer? on design business? on society at large?

Open Design Now includes essays, cases and visuals on various issues of Open Design, and it includes practical guidelines for designers, design educators and policy makers to get started with Open Design.

A collaborative effort of Creative Commons Netherlands , Premsela, Dutch Platform for Design, and Fashion and Waag Society.
