This & That
Claire Sullivan - Friday, October 09, 2009
A collection of ten glass bells created by Fabrica’s young designers, from an idea by Tak Cheung. Each piece combines everyday items, such as a bicycle handlebar, a chimney or cow ears, with the sophisticated beauty of blown glass.
Joana Vasconcelos
Claire Sullivan - Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Paris born artist Joana Vasconcelos is renowned for her ability to marry highly intelligent concepts with playful execution. Her detailed hand crochet work cleverly communicates the tension between the large scale pieces that she covers and the intimate details and the technical execution of her work.
To view more of her portfolio of work visit her site here.

Tuyomyo by Frank Gehry for Emeco
Claire Sullivan - Monday, April 20, 2009
Frank Gehry has created a one off piece for aluminium company Emeco to be exhibited at the Milan Salone. Clearly reminiscent of one of the great architects many buildings, the bench is to be auctioned off for charity after the Fair, no doubt attracting huge interest from Gehry fans wanting a piece of the masters work.
Ron Arad's reinventions
Claire Sullivan - Monday, April 13, 2009
Israel born Ron Arad's masterful reinterpretation of the chair continues with his new exhibition at the Timothy Taylor Gallery in London. The Thumbprint chair above is comprised of multiple bronze and stainless steel rods that produce a jewel-like shimmer as the light shifts, revealing subtle gradations of colour. Visit www.timothytaylorgallery.com to view other works from this exhibition.
Sir Miles Warren
Claire Sullivan - Tuesday, April 07, 2009
As a Christchurch girl I have always admired the work of one of one of New Zealand's great architects Sir Miles Warren. His early work was prolific in my childhood neighbourhood, looking at these images reminds me of home. The Forbes house above, designed in 1976 is an excellent example of enduring modern architecture that was so rare for this time. The Christchurch Art Gallery is currently celebrating the work of Sir Miles Warren in an exhibition Miles: a life in architecture. The exhibition runs to 14 June 2009.

Crystal fusion
Claire Sullivan - Sunday, April 05, 2009
The Swarovski Crystal Palace at the Milan Salone is always a must visit exhibition, and it looks as though this year will be no exception. French designer Arik Levy has collaborated with the 3D effects specialists MGX to create what looks like the antithesis of the usual sparkles on display. Design Folio will be on the ground at the Milan Salone, keeping you updated daily on our finds. We'll look forward to giving you more details about this interesting exhibition. More details on our Milan agenda to follow.
Hella Cool
Claire Sullivan - Wednesday, April 01, 2009
If you happen to be in Paris anytime soon a visit to Gallerie Kreo would be well worthwhile. Dutch designer Hella Jongerius (who's profiled in our latest issue of Design Folio) is exhibiting some new and quite simply outstanding work. Jongerius is renowned for her unique ability to create personal and meaningful work that considers the relationship that people will have with an object. " If you create products that have real meaning for people, they are likely to last longer because they will want to keep them."
The Frog Table, Turtle Coffee Table and Artificial Vases above are all part of the new collection. Locally you can admire the work of Hella Jongerius at Cite where you'll find pieces she has designed for Vitra.
