For Chinese people, garden is the “second nature”. Taking cues from Chinese classical gardens characterized by twists and turns, Towodesign, a design studio excels at deconstructing commercial spaces, created a groundbreaking trade show booth for the flooring brand TREESSUN.
Jomoo is a kitchen and bathroom manufacturer with a dominating position in the Chinese market. Its operations directly cope with a growing demand for residential interior design – coming from the rising young Chinese middle class – thus setting new standards in people’s taste and lifestyle.
This design is conceived as a great theatrical machine. It’s a wide fragmented stage studded with scenic constructions highlighting the qualities of the collections of tiles on display. So, not just another commercial show, rather a different way to represent the nature of this kind of product, adding a poetic value to it.
The construction of Tower Ten, the new expansion of the World Trade Centre Amsterdam, officially began last week at a Ground Breaking Ceremony launched by deputy director Sandra Thesing of the City of Amsterdam and Ronald van der Waals of CBRE Global Investors, the Fund Manager of the Fund that owns the building in the Zuidas central business district.
Since gaining planning approval from the city last year, the site has been decanted and prepared ready for part demolition and reconstruction. Much of the structure and slabs of the existing facility will be re-used, though Tower Ten will present a radically different appearance from its predecessor, adding 32,000 sqm of new office space and amenities in the process.
The original World Trade Center was built in the 1980s as a rational sequence of gridded blocks of concrete frame and glazed curtain walling. A thorough refurbishment of the four original towers, as well as a substantial extension to the campus, were completed over a decade ago by the design team led by Ron Bakker and Lee Polisano of PLP Architecture. PLP has now returned to the campus to deliver the third major iteration in the history of the Center’s development.
100% Design, the UK’s largest design trade show, announces its line-up of specially commissioned installations and features, reflecting both conceptually and physically this year’s theme of ‘experience’. Each installation will play on the senses to map a multi-sensory journey through the show, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in contemporary product design and be inspired by the possibilities enabled by great design.
The Central Bar at 100% Design has long been a hub for networking, a symbolic destination at the heart of both the show itself and the wider design industry. This year the 100% Design team has brought together a stream of uprights with colour scales adding drama to the central space, defining the area and providing a moment of shelter. The dramatic overhead installation is intended to provide a focal point for the entire show, surrounded by specially devised fins that define the entire space.
