Using design to improve cancer patient care. Furniture design for oncology patients? You may think that is strange idea but It´s not. We used a combination of Eames meets IKEA to improve patient comfort in the cancer clinic. We created furniture that improved patient’s physical comfort while under going treatments. The clinic itself will serve around 22 patients simultaneously.

Erfurt. Thüringen plant eine umfangreiche Kooperation mit Belgien im van-de-Velde-Jahr 2013. Über konkrete Projekte spricht Thüringens Minister für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur, Christoph Matschie, heute in Brüssel mit dem Generaldirektor des belgischen königlichen Museums der Schönen Künste, Prof. Dr. Michel Draguet. Das dem bedeutenden belgischen Künstler Henry van de Velde gewidmete Themenjahr würdigt weltweit erstmals in dieser Form das Schaffen des Künstlers, der von 1902 bis 1917 Jahre in Weimar lebte und ein Wegbereiter des Bauhauses war. An dem Gespräch in Brüssel nimmt auch der Präsident der Klassik Stiftung Weimar, Hellmut Seemann, teil.
„Der 150. Geburtstag von Henry van de Velde ist für uns Anlass, das Thüringer Themenjahr auch in Belgien bekannt zu machen und gemeinsame Projekte auf die Beine zu stellen“, so Matschie. Der Vermarktung des Themenjahrs in Belgien dient heute auch ein Gespräch, das Matschie in Brüssel mit dem deutschen Botschafter Dr. Eckart Cuntz führt. „Wir wollen eine Brücke nach Belgien schlagen und möglichst viel Aufmerksamkeit für Thüringen erzeugen“, unterstreicht der Minister.
Matschie nennt ein wichtiges Kooperationsprojekt: Die Klassik Stiftung Weimar plane in Weimar gemeinsam mit dem königlichen Museum für Kunst Brüssel eine Ausstellung zum Werk von Henry van de Velde. Die Schirmherrschaft dafür werden Belgiens König Albert II. sowie der deutsche Bundespräsident übernehmen. In der Ausstellung sollen 100 Leihgaben aus dem Brüsseler Museum gezeigt werden, darunter Gemälde, Handzeichnungen, Keramik, Porzellan und Designartikel aus der Hand von van de Velde. Auf der Liste stehen auch hervorragende Arbeiten von Zeitgenossen van de Veldes, darunter ein Gemälde Gaugins. Der Freistaat Thüringen fördert das Projekt mit 600 000 Euro. Matschie: „Ich bin sicher, dass Thüringen und Belgien im van-de-Velde-Jahr gemeinsam wichtige Akzente setzen können und diesen hervorragenden Künstler gebührend ehren.“
Thüringen hat dafür nicht nur einen hochinteressanten Einblick in das gestalterische Werk van de Veldes zu bieten, sondern auch eine große Zahl authentischer Orte, die einen direkten Bezug zu dem Künstler haben, darunter das Gebäude der ehemaligen großherzoglichen Kunstgewerbeschule, heute Bauhaus-Universität, oder das Haus Hohe Pappeln in Weimar, das Ernst-Abbe-Denkmal in Jena oder die Villa Schulenburg in Gera. Mit dem Themenjahr 2013 soll in zahlreichen Veranstaltungen an den 150. Geburtstag van de Veldes erinnert werden.

We truly love to announce, that we have been chosen by “Klassik Stiftung Weimar” to design a series of exhibitions in respect of Henry van de Velde. We are very exited about this prestigious project for three reasons: First: Henry van de Velde has been our design hero for ever. Second: We have a close relationship to his design work, having lived in one of his famous interiors designed in 1906. Third: We admire the Klassik Stiftung Weimar for the outstanding exhibitions, museums and cultural work that it has created for for so many years.
This exhibition will be a serious retrospective, showing van de Velde in the context of art, design and architecture in the year of his 150th birthday in 2013. Exhibition dates: March 2013, Neues Museum, Weimar – September 2013 Musées d’Art et d’Histoire, Brussels. More to come soon.
Colour- and material scheme for “C/O”, a surgical practice. We have been developing the concept and now we are in the phase of detailed design and corporate design. Custom designed furniture will be part of the schedule.
Not for the first time: Control the light and you are going to have fun! Thanks to Carl for amazing 3D images (www.carllaemmle.de)
We have been looking for a stool for different projects that are currently in the works. We liked the “IKEA Benjamin”, but – unfortunately – this project is no longer available. …Mayday – Mayday…
So we took the chance and designed our own product. “my_die” will be made of just 2 pieces: a laser cut, folded iron sheet and a piece of plywood, just fitted together, no fixtures. Finish: powder-coating, colours on demand.
Do not copy _ product registration and and patent application are on the way.

” feed_the_pet” – play on words for a product that we have been developing recently. It´s a device to feed the birds in the garden in winter times. Feed the PET means: You feed the PET bottle (standard Coke, Ice Tea or Water bottle, attached to the little aluminum cup that we have designed) and the PET bottle feeds your birds. Feed stays dry – thanks to the bottle – and birds can pick up whatsoever you´ve put in.
Design saves resources because main part of product (PET bottle) it used material. © Do not copy, design is registered and patented.

Unexpected honor for one of our past projects. BRAUN publishers have chosen the Hotel Drei Raben Lounge as “one of the best bars from all over the world” for the recently published book “DRINK! Best of Bar Design”. The selection comprises 41 bars, only 4 of them from Germany. Proud that ours is one of these and presented on 4 double-pages.
Title: “DRINK! Best of Bar Design” ISBN: 978-3-03768-015-5 / Publisher: BRAUN
400 pages / € 19.90
Preface: “The bar is the architectural embodiment of the night. Light, materials, forms and colors in the right mixture can become a kind of intoxicating cocktail in themselves. Drink! is an architectural excursion through the world’s most extraordinary bars.
Established architects and innovative young designers have created a unique atmosphere in each bar using off-beat, colorful interiors and minimalist, reduced design ideas. This volume presents contemporary trends in bar design in all their creative variety.
For a 700 sqm private surgical hospital we developed the spatial concept. We are now in the phase of interior design. Twelve surgeries / 3 operating theatres / X-ray / waiting rooms / back office / reception. The building just started to grow and will be ready for completion late 2012. More to come soon. We are designing a second doctor´s practice for two Oncologists with the same time-schedule in the same building. Check out posts “Praxis Drs. W-B”
Mori Projects, one of our favorite partners we have been working with since ever, recently launched a public relation book about themselves. They dedicated 8 pages to us, our work and our dreams. Isn´t that something?
Thank you Claudia Wald and Mark Phillips of mori-projects in Stuttgart.
