in designboom’s unique and world famous market exhibitions, visitors are not only able to meet
the young avant-garde designers and become familiar with their work but also buy self-produced or limited edition pieces directly from the designers. profits through sales can be used towards partially covering any travel costs.
over the intense days of exhibiting and socializing, the designers have the chance to discuss their work with other like-minded professionals, customers, manufacturers, distributors, press and museum curators – verifying their designs and their packaging credentials.

“Israeli designer ilan sinai explores tableware as more than just a platform for food to be served in. through his ‘sensual tableware’ collection, sinai includes tableware a part of the sensory experience of eating and enjoying a meal, by making it ‘active’. the project offers a menu of three families entitled: ‘senses’, ’20-40-10 (%)’ and ‘channels and drainages’ which are each completed by a first course, main course and dessert plate.”

“mann’s ‘cross-fire’ series utilizes the possibilities digital technology offers to examine the intangible characteristic of the spoken word. the work investigates the unseen effect of the sound of speech, focusing on an audio excerpt of a domestic argument, sampled from the film ‘american beauty’ (1999).”
“the inensity of the argument’s sound waves are digitally mapped and materialized using rapid prototyping and then the forms are cast in a range of materials. each object encapsulates a momentary emotion of the argument. the once-static tabletop forms are deformed into objects of unseen familiarity. “
‘cross-fire series’ were exhibited as part of lab craft at during london design festival 2010.
