Milan Salone 2016: Form and function
Milan – Students at École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL) and Swiss designers Punkt have collaborated on a range of functional household electronics.
- The university’s MA students were invited to design prototypes for future Punkt products
- Eight prototypes, including a torch lamp and wall-mounted printer, were displayed at the Palazzo Litta
The students were asked to rethink objects that help people with their everyday routines, without making them any more complicated, and invited them to offer a new perspective to time-honoured designs.
Student Terkel Skou Steffensen’s IR 01 internet radio features a circular touchscreen, making it easier to browse through thousands of stations, while the CC 01 clock designed by DonKyun Lim can be hung in the corner of a room, letting the owner tell the time from any angle.
The show is about technology, but not technology that is overwhelming,’ says ECAL director Alexis Georgacopoulos. ‘It is technology that stays in the shadows and makes small comments about the way we live.’
