An international survey of the world's most exciting and influential furniture designers today.

Design in the 21st Century has liberated itself from industrial conditions and the associated physical demands. With new technology, expanded choice of materials and the practice of luxurious craftsmanship, designers are embracing design with scintillating attitude, challenging aesthetic boundaries and speculating new expressions in visual codes. Desire documents current developments in furniture and object design today, showcasing recent work by the most exciting and influential designers from around the globe categorised into four distinct trends and groups: Modernists, Taletellers, Inventors and Entertainers.

Design in the 21st Century has liberated itself from industrial conditions and the associated physical demands. The clean and simplified designs of Minimalism, where less is more and form follows function, is widely practised today but with new vigor and context. There is also an explosion of vibrant design today that breaks free from the minimal style of approach, prevailing in current design trends. With new technology, expanded choice of materials and a return to luxurious craftsmanship, designers are embracing design with scintillating attitude, challenging aesthetic boundaries and speculating new expressions in visual codes.

Desire is an up-to-date comprehensive survey on furniture and object design today, showcasing the crème de la crème of designers culled from around the world. It presents celebrated designers who represent the Modernists, creating sophisticated designs that are redefining the formal language of Modernism, blending the restraint of form with the refined use of materials. They are featured along with the inventors; visionary designers who continue to challenge our perception of design with futuristic shapes, and the experimental, innovative and often unprecedented use of materials.

Furthermore, Desire documents a wave of designers who are practicing a more playful approach to design and producing products that are tale-telling. It introduces designers that are merging various design disciplines to produce a new, expressive language. They show references to historical events and times, follow conceptual and materials processes and are decorative in nature with visually striking shapes and graphic motifs. The book also explores the growing area of design as art, exhibiting recent work by designers who are creating provocative one-off pieces and limited editions. Produced with experimental freedom and intended for a niche market, they are entertaining in nature and exhibited at prestigious design galleries and sold at international auction houses.

With a foreword and chapter introduction texts written by Andrej Kupetz, Managing Director of the German Design Council, as well as designer profiles, this indispensable reference provides valuable insight into the current state of furniture design practice. The pioneering examples in Desire will shape the future aesthetic of product, furniture and object design and pave the way we will live in the 21st Century.

Бетон – это противоречивый стройматериал: он наглядно иллюстрирует, как никакой другой материал, процесс изготовления текстуры в опалубке, но за поверхностью скрывает свою структуру. В общем-то, есть огромное желание более живых форм выражения, чем это предлагают совершенно гладкие бетонные поверхности. С другой стороны, такие новаторские разработки как самоуплотняющийся бетон или несущие конструкции из железобетона с улучшенными теплоизоляционными характеристиками показывают технический потенциал развития этого строительного материала. Строительство из бетона продолжает оставаться в движении.

Строительство для детей – детский сад ли, продленка ли или ясли – это, без сомнения, особый вызов профессионализму. Какой архитектурный язык при этом наиболее уместен? Как удается педагогической программе, проповедующей определенные ценности, реализовать себя в пространстве? Там, где дети знакомятся с миром и познают его, каждая деталь, так же как и качество примененных материалов, их цвета и поверхности, играют особую роль.

Театр как символ города, но вероятно даже и всего континента – архитектору Йорну Утцону (Jørn ­ Utzon) с его экспрессивным оперным театром в Сиднее, строительство которого завершилось в 1972 году, это удалось. На многие десятилетия этим он предопределил развитие, которое сегодня вновь активно себя манифестирует: театральные здания, в противоположность музеям, долгое время скорее решали функциональные архитектурные цели, но все больше стали появляться в форме сенсационных городских строений, как указывает Роман Холленштайн в своем труде «Помещение для игр»

A theatre as the emblem of a city, or perhaps of an entire continent: Jørn Utzon succeeded in creating one in his expressive opera house in Sydney in 1972. In doing so, he anticipated by several decades a development that has manifested itself only recently. In contrast to museums, theatres were for a long time designed largely as functional buildings, their appearance determined by the purpose they had to fulfil. Today, they increasingly assume the form of spectacular urban elements, as Roman Hollenstein shows in his article “Space to Play” (p. 146), and star architects are being commissioned to make a mark with buildings of sculptural character. Some of these schemes exhaust themselves in mere formal gesturing, like Paul Andreu’s monumental concert hall in Beijing, which resembles a gigantic object from outer space. In contrast to this, the new Norwegian State Opera house in Oslo by ­Snøhetta (p.198) seems less the outcome of ­formal considerations than a response to the ­local situation. It is, without doubt, one of the most splendid buildings created for the arts in ­recent years. Set impressively on the Oslo Fjord, its roofs, which are accessible to all citizens, make it an extension of the public realm, a new landscape within the city. It has won the hearts of operagoers and visitors alike.

Широкий спектр творческого самовыражения и возможностей внутреннего пространства исключительно разнообразен и существенно чаще, чем для новостроек, остается задачей для старого фонда, что само за себя говорит о взаимосвязи с имеющейся структурой. Так как внутренняя отделка в большинстве случаев менее долговечна, чем сами здания, то именно она прекрасно подходит для экспериментов.

В форме светопропускающих плит, широкопролетных мембран, наполненных воздухом полимерных подушек или в виде изогнутых органических форм: синтетические материалы стремительно распространяются в архитектуре. Новые технические разработки, всегда приводящие к лучшему качеству, а также новое восприятие материала создают предпосылки для этого.
