Copenhagen Design Week Sept 1st - 6th 2011
I have always been inspired by Danish culture, and this
story, from @fastcodesign is no different. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1664916/kibisi-rethinks-street-lights-with-forest-of-urban-trees
The innovative sTREEt urban
furniture is creative, attractive, and functional. The love the modular concept, but I think having a random
swing hanging under a lamppost could lead to trouble.
I have been a fan of KiBiSi for about 5 years now, when I
first read about them in ID magazine. The urban forest idea I believe would
have strong appeal and the concept of parks blossoming with “mother trees”
covered with solar panels is a distilled brilliance.
I must admit I have a similar, though very different stroke
of genius for freshening up the cityscape involving solar panels, windmills and
oversized plants. I have some
drawings around somewhere I promise to share them, as soon as I get them
digitized.
But what is it about Danish design that is so
appealing? The sparse clean lines,
the orderly geometry, the blonde wood, and elegant minimalism. I enjoy the dark cold matter of fact
humor of the cinema, and the warmth and openness of there people.
All that being said why am I not there for the second annual
Copenhagen Design Week? http://www.copenhagendesignweek.com/
Mostly because it is this week and
I had no idea, D’oh!
