The organizing committee of the exhibition Tendence invented a new style. All mixed up regardless of rating, annual turnover and fame. Gold with plastic, gloss with rags. They introduced a new principle of division - in terms of functionality, joy (!) And other emotional, but somewhat undefined categories. Plus, we moved the exhibition to August - traditionally holiday selling in Europe ... Only a few came from the first train. But the less whimsical second, third and fourth appeared completely. As it turned out, not in vain. While the persistent and non-lingful visitor wandered in search of old acquaintances, new eyes came across his eyes ... Maybe the stars?Emotion: only love now takes designers. Choose her subjectWHAT DO WOMEN DESIRE? Variants of answers to this question were presented at a special forum of design designers (Designerinnen Forum) held at the Tendence exhibition. As it turned out, a bouquet of lilies of the valley will not surprise them. But the composition of light bulbs, perhaps, you can still [1].TREES GROWING IN THE FABERGE. And not simple, but gold. They are beautiful and so, but it is better to get them as a gift with some precious trinket. For example, with a new year's egg from Faberge [2]. The love of Japanese cuisine has acquired the scope of genuine passion. This year, even the most persistent "Westerners" were among its victims. George Jensen, for example, has included Japanese sticks in its oldest collection (produced since 1915!) [3]. By the way, very beautiful - from ebonite and silver. What can you not do FROM LOVE TO ... SUSHI.AH, WHAT LOVE! Gentle "feelings" of leather and soft plush seem especially convincing. Perhaps that is why it is so difficult to resist the sofa with the romantic name Herz ("Heart") [4] компании Moon&Firework. Действуя по принципу "сердец много не бывает", дизайнеры компании сделали в форме сердца не только спинку дивана, но и подушки к нему. Все, разумеется, красного цвета.Modern Living: bright light today even cleaner and brighter than a year agoABOVE THE CLOUDS The lamp "grown" in Normann's laboratories by designer Britt Cornum (Britt Kornum) reminds of sea monsters, cirrus clouds and Christmas lights - atypical white [5]. And also about the frills, which recently was not considered on the catwalks and in fashion magazines. The original design, as presented by Tramontina, can even combine such different things as steel and porcelain. The main rule is PURITY STYLE and performance. Cappuccino cup [6], designer Bert Rohrlich.BREATH OF AIR Leonardo designers certainly distinguished themselves by presenting one of the most diverse collections in Frankfurt. The bark of exotic trees, bright tropical flowers and reindeer - this is an incomplete list of its sources, embodied in the form of toys, plates, vases and other pleasant and useful things. But in the context of the coming cold weather the classic is especially appreciated - transparent and striped [7].BABY TEETH, sorry vases [8] presented at the exhibition Tendence company Rosendahl. For supporters of indirect associations are the same, only the gray-green color.Function: just laugh Laugh now taken on very practical occasionsLOLLIPS The lamp of designer Boris Petrovsky (Boris Petrovsky for Sensonauts) is similar to a montage box: there is a transparent case on top, inside there are lens candies [9]. In the most appetizing version - in different colors. They sparkle, as in a pastry shop, - do not tear your eyes off.NATURE MIRACLE Ritzenhoff has a new pig collection. [10]. Rather, piggy banks. Everyone has a different character, facial expression, even the color of fur. Designers, having foreseen that to break such a miracle, no one’s hand would rise, retreated a little from tradition, adding a special door for taking out money - on the belly. To find out what the "cosmic birds" look like [11]Studioglashuttan designers probably had to read a mountain of fantastic books. OBVIOUSLY, BUT - INCREDIBLE!VERY STRANGE WATCHES Made by Wil Van Den Bos for Invotis. Cogs and gears a lot, but numbers - not at all [12]. However, for happiness, as you know, they are not at all obligatory. This time, Koziol pleased his friends with useful knife for cheese, comfortable ribbons for gifts, beautiful key fobs and much more than others. But the Oscar for the original decision went to a snail named Emma B [13]. A tiny plastic blade in the tail of a clam cuts the skin of oranges, without affecting the juicy flesh. A great GIFT FOR LAZY lovers of oranges, snails and practical things.
