  • Destroyers Builders
    studio destroyers builders INTRODUCING THE COLLECTION Inspired by architectural shapes that are foremost functional and all have an elementary character, the collection highlights the field between human and industrial through diverse materials. Exploring architectural and sculptural details and focussing on the beauty in diverse materials. The touchabilty of the surface and the human traces that are still visible in the objects, explain the method of Destroyers/Builders. Both contemporary and classical fragments are the base of the visual language of the furniture pieces. The Bolder Chair and Bolder Seat are inspired by columns. The layering of the chipboard discs refers to columns of stone that are also built up of layers. Cross Vault is a down scaled cross vault built in aluminium, functioning as a low seating element. Bolder Seat is an even more softer reference to columns and elemental shapes. It is a diverse set of furniture, between sculptural and architectural forms. Destroyers/Builders is a Brussels based design studio. With a focus on materiality the studio strives for sensory relevance and cultural value in detail and bigger scale. The works have a sculptural and architectural character, but are always on the edge of contemporary material use and traditional crafts. The studio takes on projects that range from commissions to self-initiated projects, and extends across the realms of both product and interior design. For enquiries on one of the works, the email address below can be used. Linde Freya Tangelder [email protected] www.destroyersbuilders.com +32 494 908946 BOLDER SEAT The soft stool is a continuation of the column based shapes.

  • 1 Space in the Home: Morphology and Meaning in the Home Life of Older
    Space in the Home: morphology and meaning in the home life of older people. Professor Julienne Hanson, University College London Summary This paper presents an account of how older people living in the UK today furnish and use the main 'public' space for daytime activities in their home; the living room. The furniture arrangements in the living rooms of sixty older people living in a wide variety of house types and tenures was examined, to see how household artefacts were used to differentiate each room into areas for different domestic activities. It was found that, when arranging their living room furniture, older people adopted one of two strategies; a centrifugal tendency that pushed all the furniture to the walls leaving the centre of the room clear for circulation, or a sequenced approach that created a series of sub-spaces within the room. Few if any used 'designerly' principles to orientate the room or to arrange their furniture and possessions. Extensive comparison with over three hundred examples of all types of housing in which older people in the UK were living in the late 1990s, led to the identification of two distinct stereotypes, for family homes and ‘sheltered’ (purpose-built) housing respectively. Configurational analysis of plans using ‘space syntax’ revealed that family housing in the UK embodied a strong ‘privacy gradient’ that separated and related social and intimate areas of the home. In the sheltered housing this privacy gradient was eliminated, presumably on the assumption that the older occupant would be living alone. However, most of our older informants did not perceive themselves to be alone, but interdependent with others.

  • Introduction to Furniture Design
    chapter Introduction 1to Furniture Design DICTIONARY AND ENCYCLOPEDIC sources use words like accessories, equipment, and movable objects to defi ne furniture.1 Words can describe the performance and physical characteris- tics of furniture, but those who design, make, and use furniture know that furniture design extends far beyond dictionary or encyclopedic defi nition. Furniture design concepts lead to the production of useful items that result in tactile experiences (Figure 1.1). In nearly every case, furniture is something people experience through direct human engagement. In addition, one’s understanding and knowledge of furniture evolves with use and over time. Designing furniture relies on intuition, judgment, design skills, engineering principles, and knowledge in a broad range of disciplines helpful with problem solving. Designing furniture requires inspiration, a concept or idea, and the commitment to give pleasure to those who use it. The inevitable shift from designing furniture to fabricating furniture generates an appre- ciation for both the obvious and subtle ways in which making can infl uence the design process. ThroughCOPYRIGHTED the process of making furniture, MATERIAL one will learn about hand, power, and digital tools, material properties and working methods, assembly processes, and the time required to fi nish a project. Fabricating furniture demands precise skill and workmanship and often results in a sense of craft for those directly involved in the process. Making furni- ture does not necessarily guarantee an ability to design furniture, but it will result in an expanded knowledge of materials, tools, and joinery, which in turn generates a broader appreciation and respect for furniture design.
