DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

COLLABORATION WITH DEDON 2022 LIGHTING THE FUTUR

with Sabine Marcelis

Dedon by nature An initiative of DEDON Studio, Lighting the Future presents a striking array of nature-inspired light concepts by master stu- dents from the prestigious ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. This innovative digital exhibition opens in January 2023 exclusively on DEDON channels, including a dedicated microsite enhanced by AR tools. DEDON Studio initiated the ECAL collaboration with a challenge to students in the Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship Masters program: Explore our relation to nature through lighting design, drawing inspiration from DEDON’s groundbreaking fiber. Under the supervision of the acclaimed designer Sabine Marcelis and Nicolas Le Moigne, head of the program, students designed, developed and digitally elaborated their concepts over a nine- month period. The results—beautiful, beguiling, thoughtful and engaging—attest to the creative powers of an emerging genera- tion and the enduring attraction of nature to us all.

DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Sippanon Detanan – Why Don’t You Design a Chair?

by Sippanon Detanan

Working for almost ten years as an interior designer, I have been used to choosing furniture that matches my space designs. This is the first time I have decided to challenge myself to make an armchair with my own hands. Rigid material, i.e., wood, is used as the main structure. Combined with the tension of the soft material (fabric or leather), the backrest and armrests can simply change depending on the mood of the space. It looks like I have just designed another chair among millions of existing chairs, but the aim was to answer my own question: could I create a chair from scratch? This project has given me a lot of experience and a vision for my next chair. So why not design another one?ars as an interior designer, I have been used to choosing furniture that matches my space designs.
