Alexander van Slobbe at the Dutch Culture Centre, Shanghai
|
Stuff happens in Shanghai, artistic stuff. One gets the info through curiosity but also by chance. Suddenly, a cultural center crosses your path and you can not help thinking “what´s happening inside?”. That´s how I found the Dutch Pavilion for Arts and Culture, and that´s how I discovered Alexander van Slobben´s designs. The Dutch designer’s work is characterized by minimalism, elegance, and abstractness. For instance, some designs consist simply of square pieces of fabric with ribbons, ribbons that can be tied to instantly produce elegant shapes that perfectly fits the human body. Van Slobben also tries to differentiate his brand from other commercial brands by being hand made in the Netherlands, rather than being mass produced. Want to know more? Then go here and here
Cosas pasan en Shanghai, cosas artísticas. Uno se entera por curiosidad pero también por casualidad. De repente un centro cultural se atraviesa en tu camino y es imposible dejar de pensar que sucede adentro. Así descubrí el Pabellón de los Países Bajos de Arte y Cultura, así descubrí a Alexander van Slobbe. El trabajo del diseñador Neerlandés se caracteriza por ser minimalista, elegante, abstracto y artesanal. Sus diseños son producidos a mano en su país diferenciandolo de las grandes marcas comerciales producidas en masa. Algunos de sus diseños consisten simplemente en cuadros de tela con listones, mismos que al ser amarrados producen instantaneamente diferentes y elegantes formas adaptandose perfectamente al cuerpo, lo cuál me parece extraordinario. ¿Interesante? mas info aquí y aquí.

Me gusta. Es una versión más de los juegos arquitectónicos de la moda. Yo acabo de descubrir a Yeohlee, vietnamita arraigada en Nueva York con una filosofía de “cero desperdicio” en sus diseños y sus juegos con figuras geométricas son interesantísimos.
No es sólo casualidad, Bere. Es así como deben pasar las cosas, los encuentros y la vida
Son muy bonitos esos diseños, júntele y se compra algo…
Saludos! (n_n)
