In Their Element


BO BEDRE Element 2005 competition
If you had only eight days to design a piece of furniture how well do you think you'd do? The young designers who took up the challenge to do just that did fairly well at the Danish magazine BO BEDRE Element 2005 competition.

The criteria for competition was a maximum of five years of design experience, being under 35 and having eight days to produce a finished product. Seven designers took the challenge and their work is currently on display at the Danish Design Centre until December 30, 2005.

The five projects are:

Simon Kolff: ’Modular Furnishing Element’: Furniture item in birch veneer that can be assembled into at least 15 different types of seating furniture. A stool, for example, that turns into an easy chair.

Metteline Abildgaard: ’Rug Games’: Rug with graphic pattern and small dividing walls, trees etc to spark children’s imagination and new games.

Trine Lundager Iversen and Nicole Vitner: ’W-chair’: Chair with a new type of back: felt that is interlaced like the fingers of two hands, mounted in a steel construction.

Rikke Holst Overgaard: ’The Box’: Floor furniture to be used as an easy chair, a table and a stool. Foam core with wool. If the ’mouth’ of the element is opened, a warmer colour appears, inviting you to have a seat.

Stine Gam-Pedersen and Enrico Fratesi: ’Luisa Stool’: Two stools in two layers of clear varnish and hard acrylic that locks in a layer of otherwise soft felt.
