Successful first anniversary during Dutch Design Week
Eat Drink Design tastes for more

Food and design go hand in hand. With Eat Drink Design, a satellite during the Dutch Design Week, design studio Moon/en/co gathered designers, businesses and government for the fifth consecutive year in a unique setting of Dutch design and the authentic cuisine of Sot-l'yLaisse Edwin Severijn.

Other notable items: the resourceful leather work of newcomers Klaas Kuiken and Sjoerd Vroonland (Car Chair and Kitchenware Stool), the series of chairs ABChairs by Roeland Otten (of course presented on paper) and Kaskast by Marije van der Park, which challenges us to think about other ways to grow food.

Furthermore the installation of Grondvormen artists Nienke Sybrandy, Sander Boeijink and Jeroen Wand drew a lot of attention.

The amazing labyrinth of tubes and pipes distilled a mysterious elixir from plants.

For those who believe in it, the mysterious beverage might have worked. For others: it's eye-catching art.

The unique dining table by Kranen/Gille in the middle of the exhibition was fully booked all ten evenings.

Chef Edwin Severijn improvised dishes like sea urchin with summer purslane or veal cheek with truffle and trompettes noir (stewed in Double Dip Slow Cooker by Maarten Baptist).

They were served straight from the Dtile kitchen to the table, including napkins by Jeroen Vinken, cutlery of Royal VKB and N-Gispen chairs by Gerrit Rietveld.

The Dutch Design Award jury, Eindhoven’s Mayor and Aldermen, the Centraal Museum Utrecht, various companies and a large number of designers – they were all at Eat Drink Design last week.

In between the courses was ample time for personal meeting and comprehensive explanation.

Curator Annemoon Geurts is more than happy with the result: “With about 10,000 visitors in ten days I consider it a successful anniversary.

It was a tremendous challenge to shape our sphere and vision in such an impressive space of over one thousand square meter.” Thus Studio Moon/en/co has big future plans.

If Eat Drink Design returns next year's Dutch Design Week, it will prolong in a new form.

Eat Drink Design at Dutch Design Week 2009	The Incubator Series by Anke Weiss	Leather Lampshades by Pepe Heykoop

The post Eat Drink Design at Dutch Design Week appeared first on Dezeen.

The Dutch pavilion for Shanghai Expo 2010 by architect John Kormeling has won the overall prize for the best Dutch design project at the Dutch Design Awards 2010.

Called Happy Street, the project was awarded the Golden Eye award for the best project in all award categories.

Scroll down to see all the winning projects from this year's awards, announced at a ceremony in Eindhoven on Saturday as part of Dutch Design Week, with captions provided by the judges.

More about the Happy Street project in our earlier story.

Dutch Design Week continues until 31 October.

Spatial

BEST PUBLIC EXTERIOR: Happy Street by John Körmeling (above and top)

Happy Street is not so much a depiction of the Netherlands as it is but rather as how it can be dreamed. Strong elements are the routing and the well-chosen sightlines between the houses. Happy Street makes no secret of its temporary nature, which is made manifest through features such as welded joints left visible.

BEST PRODUCT PUBLIC SPACE: ‘Prayer of Shadow Protection’, bridge Vrouwenakker by Nio Architecten (above)

The sculptural design is the result of shaping the traditional drawbridge. Both closed and open, the photogenic bridge offers a beautiful silhouette. Once again an example of the tendency to turn bridges into recognisable identity carriers.

BEST INTEROR COMMERCIAL: Rehabilitation centre Groot Klimmendaal by Architectenbureau Koen van Velsen (above)

The building proves that the social care sector is becoming increasingly important and that functionality and spatial design can play a major part in a situation in which consumers have more and more choice.

BEST INTERIOR PRIVATE: Library University of Amsterdam by Studio Roelof Mulder & bureau Ira Koers (above)

The concept results in a ‘family’ of integrated elements which, although related, also have an identity of their own. The space is characterised by clarity, colour richness, humour, and a strong graphic quality.

BEST INTERIOR CULTURAL: Hermitage Amsterdam by Merkx + Girod, Hans van Heeswijk architecten, Michael van Gessel (above)

Almost everything in the Hermitage in Amsterdam seems successful: the architectural intervention by Van Heeswijk, the interior by Merkx and Girod and the garden design by Michael van Gessel. The contributions from such diverse designers have created a fascinating layeredness determined by common characteristics such as the refined elaboration and the absence of frills.

BEST AUTONOMEUS SPATIAL DESIGN: Sand Carpets by Muurbloem design studio; Gonnette Smits, Astrid Stoltenborg (above)

A disarmingly simple way to lend just about any conceivable spot temporarily a ceremonial appearance. The innovative nature is largely due to the technique with the roller.

DDA DESIGN & SUSTAINABILITY by the City of Eindhoven: Pipe bottles by DWARS ontwerp; Mark Schulte (above)

A series of five plastic, connectable and easy to wash water bottles and one of five porcelain carafes. The shape of water pipe unions makes Western consumers in restaurants aware of the fact that large parts of the world are deprived of fresh drinking water. And there is more. With the proceeds of these bottles, the initiators fund sanitary facilities and the longest water pipe in the third-world countries. With their design, the designers responded to this sustainable and daring idea.

Communication

BEST VISUAL IDENTITY: Ro Theater by 75b (above)

The letters of the name Ro contain the pictograms for laughing and crying. Rather a cliché, but according to the jury it matches the programming of the Rotterdam theatre. The house style of the Ro Theater has recently been introduced and still needs time to catch on. With the appealing design, which offers great diversity of images, this will certainly happen.

BEST DESIGN DIGITAL MEDIA: C-Mon & Kypski - More Is Less by Jonathan Puckey, Roel Wouters (above)

The phenomenon of crow sourcing has reached the video clip. All visitors to the website Oneframeoffame.com may contribute to the video clip of the song More is Less, created by the Utrecht band C-Mon & Kypski. They imitate the poses of the band members in front of their own webcam and post the recording to the website. One image of each submitted video is used in the video clip. The makers promise to refresh the image every hour. The jury members find the design of the video clip not all that special, but the fact that thousands of people took part in one-frame-of-fame proves that the concept is strong.

BEST GRAPHIC DESIGN: Series of posters for Undercover festivals by Yvo Sprey en Letman; Yvo Sprey, Job Wouters (above)

It does not happen very often that two designers work separately and then combine their productions. In the case of the series posters for Undercover parties, this working method creates a stunning design that is characterised by a strong autonomous character and extraordinary typography.

BEST ILLUSTRATION: Nike-Illustrations by Piet Parra (above)

The oeuvre of illustrator and graphic designer Piet Parra is characterised by a very personal style that is particularly appealing to young people. T-shirts featuring his images are to them real must-haves. Parra is much in demand with diverse companies such as Nike and Submarine, who think his style suits them well, too.

BEST MOTION DESIGN: Children’s Poststamp animation by Paul Postma, Christian Borstlap, Jasper Boeke (above)

In the animation “Er zijn meer dan 11 triljoen dingen te leren” the simple figures on the Children’s Poststamps designed by Christian Borstlap are brought to life in a catching way. Accompanied by the song "Brother John" by Clutchy Hopkins & Lord Kenjamin, the theme of the Children’s Stamps, ‘Let children learn’ is depicted in a clear manner.

Product

BEST PRODUCT LIVING: Mazzo curtaining by Jeroen Vinken (above)

Jacquard-woven lengths of curtain materials, each with a different image in a minimum of colours provide nonetheless an almost complete colour palette. Smart, well-thought out and functional pattern design.

Studio: Jeroen Vinken
Designer: Jeroen Vinken

BEST INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT: Balen Lely Welger RP245 by Lely (above)

After the tractors, it’s time for the trailers to look tough and sturdy. A successful approach to car design approach in this agro-industrial product: hay mower and baler in one. The design also ensures an improvement of the reduction of dust released during the compression of mown hay into bales.

BEST CONSUMER PRODUCT: VANMOOF No 5 stadsfiets by VANMOOF (above)

A safety lock placed in the minimalist triangular frame and LED lighting make this distinctive bike sturdy yet functional for daily use in the big city. Retro in appearance but technically definitely 2010.

Designer: Sjoerd Smit

BEST PRODUCT AUTONOMEUS DESIGN: Paper Table by Scholten & Baijings (above)

The starting point as folded paper tableware remains intriguingly visible in the actual translation of these shapes into dinnerware with porcelain, glass and textile elements. Just like the sketches, the various components have a fresh and individualistic appearance.

BEST PRODUCT PACKAGING: Mars Messages by FHV BBDO; Mark Muller, Gijs Sluijters, Joris Tol, Demy Sapthu, Thomas Aberson,
Joris van Elk (above)

When the packaging and the product - a chocolate bar filled with a fudge substance – have become so familiar, you can afford to play with it. The wrapper remained ‘virgin’ black. But the consumer can now put his/her own message on the packaging by using a sticker sheet with letters in red Mars typography. Simple and great fun.

Porcelain containers based on insect eggs by Dutch designer Anke Weiss are on show as part of Eat Drink Design at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven this week. 

Called The Incubator Series, the pieces were developed from microscopic photographs of eggs.

Eat Drink Design is a temporary restaurant furnished with designers' work. See our story about last year's Eat Drink Design here.

Dutch Design Week continues until 31 October.

See all our stories about Anke Weiss »

The information below is from Weiss:

Eat Drink Design is presenting the series 'Incubators' by Anke Weiss at the Dutch Design Week Eindhoven.

The Incubator Series are a collection of porcelain vessels based on the aesthetics of insect eggs.

Strangely familiar yet very alien these shapes evoke a feeling of unsettling attraction.

In this work science meets imagination. While originally based on microscopic photography, the objects remain products of the mind.

Combining its scientific meaning of developing a life form for a particular purpose or quality, the term 'incubation' refers to the development of an idea or a dream as well.

The objects show an offensive expansion resembling prehistoric depictions of fertility gods and the very general impression of potent breeding power.

The elementary and primitive shapes of the Incubator Series create a tension that touches rudimentary emotions while describing the essential process of creation.

At Dutch Design Week designer Pepe Heykoop presents a collection of leather lampshades made by underprivileged women in Mumbai.

The shades are made of lambskin and can be collapsed for transportation.

Heykoop set up production of the lamps by working with the Tiny Miracles Foundation initiative, creating work for mothers living in the red light district of Mumbai and funding schooling for their daughters.

Dutch Design Week continues until 31 October.

See all our stories about Pepe Heykoop »

Photographs are by Annemarijne Bax.

The information below is from Heykoop:

Pepe Heykoop launches ‘Leather Lampshades’ in collaboration with the poor

Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop has launched the ‘Leather Lampshade’. The lampshade is fabricated of soft lambskin leather, whilst its shape refers to old industrial lamps. Pepe Heykoop has set up his own production line in collaboration with the Tiny Miracles Foundation in India with the ultimate objective to provide jobs to as many underprivileged people in the process as possible.

‘Leather Lampshades’: brighten up your life and the life of poor women

With its shape referring to old metal industrial lamps, Leather Lampshades are made for the domestic environment. The material has changed into a soft lambskin leather. A fine combination of a sometimes little rough inside with smooth contours on the outside. This leather appearance makes the lampshade lightweight and foldable so therefore easy to transport. The lampshades come in two shapes: ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’.

Leather Lampshades have been manufactured using only leather of skins that are a byproduct and tanned with as many natural materials as possible. The lampshades are handmade in a production that Pepe has setup himself in Mumbai, India.

Pepe puts high value to an ethical and right production process. In which he engages as many underprivileged people in the process as possible. Key for the assembly of the lampshades are 20 mothers living in pavement dwellings in the red light area of Mumbai. He met them through the Tiny Miracles Foundation, set up by his cousin Laurien Meuter. This foundation brightens up the life of street children. Next to creating work for their mothers, for every lampshade sold, the equivalent of 1 month of school fees is donated to send their daughters to private English school. So with the purchase of the Leather Lampshade you brighten up your life and theirs also. This is what we say to the mothers and their daughters: Go forth and set the world on fire!

Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop

Pepe Heykoop’s work is often about subtle fragility. Using alternative materials and sometimes technical structures to tell his stories.
He graduated at the prestigious Design Academy in Eindhoven in 2008 with amongst others ’A Restless Chairacter’: an archetype rubber bendable chair, looking like a simple old chair whilst having the ability at the joints (1st prize at the imm d3 contest Cologne 2009). Recently he presented ‘Brickseries’: design furniture made of children’s playing blocks (nominated during the imm cologne 2010). ’Brickseries’ will be part of Cappellini's new collection 2011.

He has been nominated during DMY Berlin 2010. In 2009, Pepe Heykoop has joined Dutch designers collective ‘Dutch Invertuals’, a collaboration of talented graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven.

Tiny Miracles Foundation

The Tiny Miracles Foundation is an initiative of two Dutch girls Laurien Meuter and Florentine Slingeland. The foundation works mainly around the red light area in Mumbai. Needless to say, this area imposes high risks on young girls living on the street. Next to this, parents mostly see more value in these girls providing income by working than being educated. Tiny Miracles has identified young girls in this area who they support with private English education. At the same time, they provide their unemployed mothers with work, enabling them to substantially increase household income. Part of the profits of the products made by the mothers are donated to the foundation to be allocated towards education. The objective is to create a circle: to provide enough work to the mothers so that the school fees for all their daughters can be indirectly paid by their working mothers through the Tiny Miracles Foundation.

The foundation also provides for a host of other educative sessions including health awareness, HIV prevention, and vocational courses.
