Living Divani Internatonal Furniture Show
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Lots of news about Living Divani for the upcoming Milan Furniture Show 2008, April 16-21. The most exciting is without doubt the re-production of a few pieces by virtuoso architect Shiro Kuramata: a collection of seating and low tables which speak the sophisticated Japanese designer’s poetic language. They will complete and enhance a rich selection of Piero Lissoni’s upholstered designs in understated forms and volumes. A revival of designs from the 1980s with a very contemporary flavour; designs which add a discreet yet highly distinctive touch to Living Divani living rooms and bedrooms. Living Divani therefore provides an even wider choice of designs for attractive, ensemble living rooms and bedrooms furnished with pieces that blend together and enhance each other by contrast or affinity. Shiro Kuramata’s designs will be joined by yet another range of furnishing accessories by Arik Levy, new upholstered pieces by Piero Lissoni and a long chair by Claesson-Koivisto-Rune.
Nouvel wins the Pritzker Prize
Monday, March 31, 2008
Jean Nouvel, the bold French architect known for such wildly diverse projects as the muscular Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and the exotically louvered Arab World Institute in Paris, has received architecture’s top honor, the Pritzker Prize. Mr. Nouvel, 62, is the second French citizen to take the prize, awarded annually to a living architect by a jury chosen by the Hyatt Foundation. “For over 30 years Jean Nouvel has pushed architecture’s discourse and praxis to new limits,” the Pritzker jury said in its citation. “His inquisitive and agile mind propels him to take risks in each of his projects, which, regardless of varying degrees of success, have greatly expanded the vocabulary of contemporary architecture.” Article and image source: New York Times.
