Behind the scenes at Moooi Milan Designweek 2016 by C-More
A few weeks after The Milan designweek 2016 it’s easier to see what was most impressive. The Moooi collection 2016 presentation was one of them.
At the via Savona 56 , Moooi transformed the space into a surprising and creative area. In the atrium, the furniture was installed in the dark with just spotlights on them. Like the Compression Sofa made out of marble by Paul Cocksedge. Or the Charleston Sofa, which looks like a Chesterfield sofa placed on the side. I loved the Floor lamp Filigree by Rick Tegelaar. Also the Anami Sofa by Lorenza Bozzoli, which was made out of beautiful deep blue velvet with degrade fringes. This sofa looks so tempting… If it wasn’t in the spotlights I think I could sit in it the whole day and just relax…
About the Marble Compression sofa:
‘I wasn’t thinking of designing a sofa,’ affirms Paul Cocksedge when talking about the Compression sofa. ‘I had a block of rectangular foam on my desk and I just pushed down one part and saw, almost in slow motion, this transformation, from an angular block to a curvaceous figure and thought, “it would be great if a person could sit there”. There were no sketches or technical drawings involved, instead we allowed the material itself to define the shape.’.
Behind the scenes, You could wander around several rooms, all with the new signature rugs and carpetings. Lot’s of colorful and artistic , ornaments and surreal designs. I can imagine some of you have to get used to this eye-catching floors, but I must say, It can make the room! Personally, I would love to combine these rugs with a more clean and empty space. But hey, that’s me. We all know that Moooi is about the theatrical design.
All the rooms were decorated as someone lived in it. This way you got an intimate warm and even a somewhat feminine feeling and a sense of home.
A lot of the designs were soft, and round shaped, with textured upholsteries like velvet and felt. Of course, the lighting objects were stunning, as Moooi always does. And the big oversized prints by photographer Rebecca Bathory were completing the setting.

ACHTER DE SCHERMEN
EN IN DE SCHIJNWERPERS
BIJ MOOOI
MILAN 2016
Een paar weken na de Milan Designweek 2016 is het makkelijker om te zien wat het meest indrukwekkend was. De Moooi collectie 2016 presentatie was er een van.
Aan de via Savona 56, transformeerde Moooi de ruimte in een verrassende en creatieve omgeving. In het atrium, was het meubilair in het donker geïnstalleerd, met slechts de schijnwerpers op hen gericht. Zoals de Compression Sofa, gemaakt van marmer door ontwerper Paul Cocksedge. Of de Charleston Bank, die eruit ziet als een Chesterfield bank op zijn zij. En Prachtig, die vloerlamp Filigree ontworpen door Rick Tegelaar. Ook de Anami Sofa van Lorenza Bozzoli was bijzonder mooi, met het diepe blauw fluweel en met degrade franjes. Deze bank ziet er zo verleidelijk uit … Als ie niet in de spotlights stond, was ik er graag de hele dag op gaan zitten om gewoon even relaxen in drukke Milaan …
Over de Marble Compression bank:
‘Ik dacht niet aan het ontwerpen van een bank,’ bevestigt Paul Cocksedge wanneer we spreken over de compressie bank. ‘Ik had een blok van rechthoekige schuim op mijn bureau en die heb ik gewoon naar beneden geduwd, en zag, bijna in slow motion, deze transformatie, van een hoekige blok naar een gewelfde figuur en dacht: “Het zou geweldig zijn als er een persoon in kan zitten”. Er waren geen schetsen of technische tekeningen bij betrokken,maar we lieten het materiaal zelf de vorm definiëren. ‘.
Achter de schermen, kon je rond wandelen door verschillende kamers, allemaal met de nieuwe “Signature” tapijten en carpetings. Veel kleurrijke, artistieke, vol ornamenten en surrealistische ontwerpen. Ik kan me voorstellen dat sommigen van jullie even moeten wennen aan deze opvallende vloeren, maar ik moet zeggen, het kan de ruimte echt maken! Persoonlijk zou ik graag deze tapijten combineren met een strakke en lege ruimte. Maar hey, dat ben ik. We weten allemaal dat Moooi van de theatrale designs is.
Alle kamers zijn ingericht alsof er iemand woont. Op deze manier heeft de ruimte direct een intiem, warm en zelfs een ietwat vrouwelijk gevoel. En een gevoel van thuis.
Een groot deel van de ontwerpen waren zacht, met ronde vormen, met rijke bekledingen zoals fluweel en vilt. Natuurlijk, de verlichting ontwerpen waren prachtig, zoals Moooi dat altijd doet. En de grote oversized prints van fotograaf Rebecca Bathory waren de puntjes op de i van de setting.
Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Wow. I don’t know where to start actually. I got this big chance to interview Hella Jongerius, Dutch designer and color specialist, at Casa Vitra during the Milan design week. She is my color hero. She does what I love…. Working with color, designing around color, testing and selecting color ranges… My dream job.
Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Ever since I was little I was drawn to color. But not just colored objects. Mostly paint color strips, or the color codes on the milk cartons and other prints. And of course colors in textiles. Again, not just the textile itself, but especially the yarns, the selvedges, the loose threads, the warp and wefts. I loved picking up the magnifying glass and study the clothes I was wearing… And still, to this day I love color arrangements. Just never had the courage to make it my profession. Although, I am an interior color specialist, and graduated on the subject color concepts and trends. So, I think you can imagine that getting the chance to talk to Hella Jongerius was one of my wishes.

The evening of the Casa Vitra opening, I received the very exclusive book ” I don’t have a favorite colour” by Hella Jongerius for Vitra. It is beautiful. And: She signed it for me!
In the book, Hella tells about her passion for color and textiles. Although, textiles was something she was determined not to study, when she started at the design school in 1988. Crazy how things turn around, isn’t it. The books shows how she experiments and selects the colors for Vitra.

One of the first designs she did for Vitra is the Polder Sofa. It’s one of my favorite Sofas. In this design, the concept of color is dominating, being inspired by the Dutch Polder landscape, which mainly consist of rectangle surfaces in a wide range of greens. Beautiful concept.
For Vitra Hella divided the colors into 4 main groups: The Reds, the Greens, the Lights and the Darks. During the Milan design week, Vitra launched the new book at Casa Vitra and at that unique location the interview with Hella Jongerious took place. It was a double interview with journalist Eline Haentjens from Belgium.
Enjoy!
Color Wheel | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Can you tell something about the new book: “I don’t have a favorite color”
For over 10 years, I’ve been working with color for Vitra. After these 10 years of research, we figured it would be great to combine all this work in a book. I’m not working as a stylist with color, but more as an author, a color-designer, and color-researcher. Besides working for Vitra, where my work is mostly functional, I also do my own color research. For instance, the black metal oxides project for glazings for vases and a study about daylight and color. That knowledge has always been mixed with the work for Vitra. My first project and design for Vitra was the Polder Sofa. This collaboration has developed and became a long-term commitment in which we build the line of colors and materials for Vitra.
Color Wheel | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Color is obviously very important to you. Which position takes color in the design process?
That depends on the product I’m designing or working on. In textiles such as upholsteries, color is the last thing you do. But if you start with weaving research, or if you making small samples to study a particular structure, you always do this in black and white. Just look at the small samples we have here at the Casa Vitra exhibition here in Milan. In these black and white testing samples, you can quickly see what percentage of one color and of the other color is best and what the effect will be before you actually color the textiles. Color is something that is always in my mind while I’m designing, but you do not color the actual design in this stage. The final color collection is only composed at the very end of the process when all tests are done. It’s way too expensive to do everything in color when you are still in the sample stage. And even at the end of the line, there is still a lot of testing in color. Like in colors for plastics for chairs or for carpets. Even then, you can come to the conclusion that a certain color does not work well on a design, or does not get through testing. Then you have to start all over again. If you pull out an, for say orange color, then the connection in the total color-line is no longer a match. In a way, color is interwoven into the design process, but it’s also something you need to do later, because otherwise the process is too expensive, it is just not efficient.

Elaborating on what you are saying: besides the new Vitra developments and designs, many designs are “classic designs’. You also develop the renewal of colors for these classic designs. How do you handle that? You have to deal with the originals, your own and Vitra’s vision and the current “Zeitgeist”.
I will first look in the archives: what has been done in the past, what has the designer done, what was his vision. And of course, we have a nice Vitra museum where all the archives are. I make a study of the design and the original colors, we talk to relatives of the designer if possible and research it’s heritage. Then I make a suggestion. Surely it is an interpretation of mine of the design, with my statement and sign on it. I don’t believe in objectivity. I’m not “matching” the new colors with what used to be the originals. My own handwriting will be in it. I very much believe in that: The new color line only gets a high quality with this new handwriting. And I do this purely on intuition.
Stitched letters on canvas | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
How do you choose color: that is purely intuitive, or based on history, theory or research? Or is it a mix? Or does everything seize together?
Yes, that’s it. It all seizes together: research, a lot of testing, color viewings, but also intuition.
You are, in my perception, not working with trend colors. Is that right?
That is right. I always wonder what good trend colors are. It’s about the context: where are the colors used? What kind of materials? Is it for a chair or for a wall? In my work, I determine the specific colors for a certain item, which is quite different than predicting colors for a large group so that all materials can be woven. So trend colors are not something I’m concerned with.
Stitched letters on canvas | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Are there certain elements that people can recognize: that’s a piece by Hella Jongerius?
That’s more something for someone else to say … I can not see how others see my handwriting in color. It is a certain conviction. I have made a certain color structure within Vitra : The reds, the Greens, the Lights and the Darks. Those four groups I use as an organizational structure, but within these groups, all colors are represented. I also think I’m designing the colors for a particular spectrum of design. For furniture, fabrics and carpets. Not all for Vitra, but also for other companies. I do not design colors for clothing or walls. It’s just a piece of the puzzle which I work with.
Color samples and stitched letters on canvas | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Is there a particular philosophy or is it all quite intuitive?
It’s all focused on the subject. From there an ideals group of colors is developed. A design always has a surface or needs upholstery. And sometimes if you see the actual color and fabric on a chair, it can still happen that it does not work at all: In that case, the color must be replaced. So, I cannot judge or say, “ This is a particular Jongerius series”.
Fabric and color samples | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
In addition to your color work, you are also working on designs. What is a good design in your opinion?
I think it’s a good design when it touches more than “just a new thing”. When it’s “beyond the new” and “beyond the object”. Like “pushing the envelope”. And that the design has deeper layers, multiple layers within itself. If it touches something in a context, in the world, for the profession, for certain materials. Just creating a new thing, is not good enough …
The Reds, The Greens, The Lights and The Darks| Color| Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
That shows in your work. The deeper layers make it special.
Yes…. A bigger story than the thing it self.
Is there a design in the Vitra collection that stands out at that level?
On a product level, it’s very difficult to choose one design. I still find it very difficult. I’m not a huge furniture fan. I have to relate with it design-wise, but it’s “just a chair” … I am not actually drawn to it. I think for me the process is far more important. For example, I could not style and furnish a showroom, like Casa Vitra. That’s not my job. My home is also not decorated like a home of a stylist. But when I look around here at the showroom, find it very beautiful. [Show Casa Vitra Milan 2016]
Color and textile samples | Casa Vitra Milan 2016 | Expo colors by Hella Jongerius | by C-More
Is there something you want to tell the young designers and students, at the (design) academies?
Well, it’s just very difficult for them I think. What can you as a designer contribute in a world where everything already exists? You can only do that by answering bigger questions on an abstract level. There are now added new disciplines in design land, such as food design. But the everyday things, we all live with, and in the industry, in the ordinary and core business of design, there is still a lot to do. Very few designers go work in the industry, which is also very difficult. I often have young people with me in the studio. But I speak a whole other language then they do. The knowledge “gap” is so big. And the industry is perhaps less sexy to work in. When you’re young, you can do start-ups, you can do a lot along the edges of design. But if you want to work in the industry, that’s is a whole different discipline and not so sexy, but it’s a very important industry.

Time is up… Other journalists are waiting and we have to finish. Can’t believe the interview is over yet. I had so much more to ask. Luckily there is the book, filled with beautiful pictures and more personal stories about Vitra, Hella Jongerius, design and color… It will be my color bible..!
Thanks Hella, Vitra and Eline. Hope we meet again soon.

Guest blog post by Judith Pelgrom.
There are important changes in our demands for products. We want them to be honest and trustful. Due to a general distrust, we are asking ourselves sincere questions about the products we are buying: Is it sustainable ? What about child labour ? The rights of the workers? The materials ?
Big warehouses are collapsing, probably one of the reasons is a big increase of online shopping. Our streetscape is changing, what will happen with all these empty buildings ? Start-ups, small businesses, handmade and crafts, where you can sit and have a drink and a chat, maybe see the product being made right in front of you. Sometimes we prefer to buy one good thing and pay a little more instead of 10 bad cheaper things. And maybe we can use all these empty buildings for housing for students and refugees, maybe they will have their own start-ups, with their local crafts.
Handicraft and honesty, natural products, recycled for example denim and restoring of clothes, but also embroidering, knitting and crochet are back. Like the beautiful embroidering from Eastern Europe end South America or handmade baskets from Africa. The color green gives us the feeling of nature and the authenticity of nature in all its sources. And we want green around us, plants inside and outside our habitat.
African Design
And then there is Africa, a big continent where a lot is happening, but we don’t hear so much about it. We can see African influences in our clothes and interior, like Vlisco and Moroso. For designers and creators, there are a lot of interesting developments. For example a cooperation between a western government institutions and companies. Design Network Africa, DNA, is financed by the Danish government, developed and coordinated by the Danish Centre for Culture, an independent institute. This project joins known designers from East, West and South Africa, whom are selected on originality, identity and product. This programme consists from cooperation and the support for local problems and mentoring, also learning new production systems, which has again a positive influence on other local entrepreneurs, who get inspired and learn from their expertise. The designers are supported by Danish creators and designers, Source is the organisation and also coordinates the import and export, of all products that are traded over the whole world.
Thanks Judith, for this wonderful insight in what moves us now and in the future! I love the African craftsmanship and design. You can find Judith at her blog Studio Orenda Facebook or at Pinterest
Enjoy! Iris

“Wij willen vertrouwen kunnen hebben in onze producten “
Trendreport by Judith Pelrgom
Gastblogpost door Judith Pelgrom.
Op dit moment zijn er belangrijke verschuivingen in de eisen voor onze produkten aan de hand. We willen steeds meer eerlijke producten, ontstaan uit een algemeen wantrouwen, gaan we ons steeds meer vragen stellen bij het kopen van een product, is het duurzaam ? Is het met kinderarbeid gemaakt ? Hoe staat het met de rechten van de arbeiders ? De materialen ?
Maar ook doordat de grote warenhuizen het niet meer redden, zoals V&D en Perry Sport, en door de grote groei van on line inkopen. Hierdoor is het straatbeeld al aan het veranderen. Er komen mooie kleine ondernemingen voor in de plaats, met handwerk en ambachten, eenmansbedrijven, waar je het product als het ware gemaakt ziet worden, waar duurzaamheid en milieu belangrijk zijn. In de winkel, ga je een belevenis door, misschien drink je er iets en heb je een goed gesprek. Sommigen kopen liever 1 keer iets moois en misschien duurder, dan dat we 10 x bij dat onbetrouwbare warenhuis. En al die grote winkel panden, zeker wel geschikt voor woningen, voor studenten of vluchtelingen, die weer hun ambachten uit hun land kunnen gaan uitvoeren.
Handwerk en eerlijkheid, natuurlijke producten, recycle van onder andere jeans, herstellen van je kleding, zodat het langer mee kan, maar ook borduren, breien en haken zijn helemaal terug. Zoals borduurwerk uit Oost Europa en Zuid Amerika en handgemaakte manden uit Afrika. Maar ook de kleur groen, want groen is de natuur en is dus echt en eerlijk. We willen steeds meer groen om ons heen, thuis maar ook buiten in onze leefomgeving, we willen de echtheid van de natuur en de eerlijkheid van voedsel en materialen.
Afrkaans design
En dan Afrika, enorm continent waar heel veel gebeurd, maar waar we niet veel over horen. Langzaam aan zien we Afrikaanse invloeden, in onze kleding en interieur, zoals mooi geweven manden en de Vlisco kleuren en stoffen, maar ook Moroso, heeft lokaal meubels laten maken. Voor de designers en ontwerpers zijn er veel hele interessante ontwikkelingen, bijvoorbeeld samenwerking tussen bedrijven en westerse overheidsinstellingen. Een voorbeeld daarvan is de Design Network Africa (DNA), zij worden gefinancieerd door de Deense overheid. Ontwikkelt en gecoordineerd door de Deense Centrum voor Cultuur en Ontwikkeling. Een onafhankelijk instituut, wat valt onder de Deense ministerie van buitenlandse zaken.
Dit project brengt bekende designers uit Oost, West en Zuid Afrika bijmekaar, die geselecteerd zijn op hun orginaliteit, identiteit en product. Het programma bestaat onder andere uit samenwerking en het ondersteunen bij lokale problematiek, mentoring en het gebruik van nieuwe productie systemen. Wat een effect heeft op andere lokale ondernemers, die geinspireerd worden en van hun expertise leren.Ze worden ondersteund door Deense ontwerpers en designers. Source is de organisatie die de in en export coordineert, op wereld niveau worden de produkten verhandelt.
Dank je Judith voor deze mooie kijk op nu en de toekomst. Ik vind het afrikaanse vakmanschap en design prachtig! Je kun Judith vinden op haar blog Studio Orenda op Facebook of via Pinterest

Are you, like I am, pretty sure of what you want and like, then you love Wood Mode. This company makes cabinets in a wide style range and with very high standards. If you are looking for a minimal or contemporary cabinet or kitchen: they can make it for you. Or maybe a sleek high-end luxurious one? Wood Mode can do the job! But if you more in traditional design: even that is possible!
I got the opportunity to see the work of Wood Mode with my own eyes at the KBIS fair in Las Vegas during BlogtourKBIS. And I can tell you: the standard is impressively high, as you can see in the first collage picture I took at the Wood Mode booth. It’s a fully customizable storage cabinet, in this case for the Man Cave: a cigar cabinet. I think it gives you a good idea of what is possible at Wood Mode. The look and feel is very bespoke. Below I show you some more designs. All made with a lot of tender love and care.
In January, I went to Las Vegas for the ModenusblogtourKBIS 2016. We were with 25 [!] professional bloggers and interior designers. Each and every one of this group was connecting and sharing with each other. It was truly very special. Check their blogs and social media and look for the #designhounds for all design updates.

AMERIKAANS VAKMANSCHAP MET WOOD MODE
Weet jij, zoals ik, behoorlijk goed wat je mooi vindt en wat je wilt? Dan hou jij ook van Wood Mode. Dit bedrijf maakt kasten in een breed scala aan stijlen en met zeer hoge afwerking, materialen en vakmanschap. Als je op zoek bent naar een minimalistische, moderne kast of keuken: zij kunnen het voor je maken. Of misschien een strakke high-end luxe uitvoering? Wood Mode kan het werk doen! Maar als je van een meer traditioneel ontwerp houdt: ook dat is mogelijk!
Ik kreeg de kans om het werk van Wood Mode met mijn eigen ogen te zien tijdens de KBIS beurs in Las Vegas waar ik BlogtourKBIS was. En ik kan je vertellen: de standaard is echt indrukwekkend hoog, zoals je kunt zien in de eerste collage foto die nam ik op de Wood Mode stand. Het is een volledig aanpasbare opbergkast, in dit geval voor de Man Cave: een sigaren kabinet. Ik denk dat dit best een goed beeld geeft van wat er allemaal mogelijk is bij Wood Mode. De look + feel is alsof het allemaal op maat gemaakt is. Hieronder laat ik nog wat meer ontwerpen van ze zien. Allemaal gemaakt met veel liefde, aandacht en vakmanschap.
In januari ging ik naar Las Vegas met ModenusblogtourKBIS 2016. We waren met 25 [!] professionele bloggers en interieurontwerpers . Iedereen uit deze groep was echt geintereseerd in elkaar en elkaars werk. Het was heel bijzonder. Check hun blogs en sociale media en zoek de #designhounds voor alle design updates.
