Month of Design 2013

[column]

Izraba odsluženih prostorov skupaj z novo oblikovanimi izdelki mi je enako ljuba kot vsi modni editoriali sredi ruševin. Zato sem bila prepričana, da bo petinpetdeset posnetkov do konca kartice povsem dovolj, da se sprehodim čez razstavo Meseca Oblikovanja, n-to leto zapored.

Seveda sem morala kmalu narediti precej prostora na kartici. Design Expo 2013 je lepo umeščen med opuščene tiskarske stroje Mladinske Knjige, veliko roza in črne barve pa da prostoru toplino, da se med razstavljenimi izdelki zadržuješ še toliko dlje.

Mesec Oblikovanja je vedno priložnost, da vidimo, kaj so oblikovalci in umetniki počeli preteklo leto, ali pa celo življenje. Nekatere izdelke smo imeli priložnost že videti, drugi so bili oblikovani posebej za razstavo. Ponosna in vesela sem na razstavljene kipce Mihe Kneza, v sklopu Siti Art Stora, nahrbtnik Petje Zorec, obleka Ane Jelinič sta mi posebej lepa in ideja o lesenih kamnih se mi zdi čez vse. Preprosti, logični, absurdni in poučno uporabni. Leseni kamni.[/column][column]

Month of Design Expo 2013, main exhibition of a month long design event spread all over Ljubljana, is situated in an old printing house. Interesting and seamless integration of old and new, that I couldn’t help but fill the memory card, before I even got to the exhibited pieces.

Design Expo is always an opportunity to see what designers and artists were up to for the last year, or rather their lifetime. Among pieces that we had the chance to see and buy before, there are objects that were made especially for the event. I was happy to see Miha Knez (sculpturer and my brother in law) sculptures presented, Petja Zorec backpack, Ana Jelinič powder color dress and the idea of wooden rocks with type of wood printed on them. An object you think so useless at first, but than again, so brilliant, logical and educational.
