real intensions weren't a working squeezer but to start conversations - is an interesting centrepiece rather than a functioning tool
"It's not meant to squeeze lemons, it is meant to start conversations"
my view
amuses me as its non functional for what you would think its purpose would be, but following Starck's intended purpose of starting conversations it succeeds it function very well. Its a very aesthetically appealing design as well so it is a shame it doesn't work
Dematerialisation
-
Louis Ghost chair
-
deigned this transparent chair as due to his belief in dematerialisation in the future there won't be chairs but for now he designs one that look like they aren't there so we get used to the idea
my view
like the combo of modern material with the old inspiration of the shape. like ability to blend into the background of a space, good for making small paces look less cramped
-
stacking broom chair - made with discarded material from lumber factories & industrial plastic plants
