  • Rolex and Architecture 2016 Press
    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CONTINUES PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION – LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA – AS 2016 EDITION OPENS Venice, 26 May 2016 – Rolex is supporting the world’s most important architecture exhibition, which runs from 28 May to 27 November in Venice. This marks the second of three editions (2014, 2016 and 2018) with Rolex as the exclusive Partner and Official Timepiece of the International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. “We are very proud of our association with the Architecture Biennale,” said Arnaud Boetsch, Director Communication & Image at Rolex. “Architecture and watchmaking have much in common, as both must achieve a perfect rendering of function and aesthetic pleasure. This can only be accomplished by meeting the highest standards of precision and performance, something we at Rolex excel at and which is being showcased at the exhibition in this historic city over the next six months.” Rolex’s success as the world’s leading luxury watch brand can be traced back more than a century to company founder Hans Wilsdorf who was motivated by a sense of excellence at every level. He created nothing less than a new architecture for the watch case, making the iconic Oyster the first waterproof watch, one that, like great buildings, has stood the test of time. In the design and construction of its own buildings over the past 50 years, Rolex has demanded the same values of excellence manifest in its watchmaking. The company’s two newest buildings, a tower in Dallas, Texas, by Kengo Kuma and a building in Milan by Italy’s own Studio Albini, are the focus of an exhibition presented by Rolex in the Giardini.

David Chipperfield Design Philosophy The work of David Chipperfield Architects is based upon a solid foundation of design excellence, budget and programme control, pro- ficient project management and the achievement of best value and ar- chitectural quality. Working directly with architectural teams, David Chipperfield is actively involved in the design and supervision of each project from the initial concept stage, through planning, construction and completion. The practice is driven by a consistent philosophical approach, not a predetermined house style. As a result it aims to create specifically de- tailed buildings that are intimately connected to context and function. We believe that high quality design results from the continuity of the design process and intensive dialogue with the client, consultants, con- tractors and end users.

  • (Pre)Served at the Table Erik Fenstad Langdalen
    (Pre)Served at the Table Erik Fenstad Langdalen A modest folding dining table stands in the middle of the green-colored chamber on the upper floor of the Eidsvollsbygningen, an eighteenth-century wooden mansion located in a rural setting north of Oslo. It is only when reading the metal plaque screwed to the tabletop that one becomes aware of its significance. Called “Grunnlovsbordet” (the constitution table), it was on this table that, in 1814, the Norwegian constitution was signed, making it the most important table in the nation’s history. Being the site for this pivotal moment, and instrumental in converting the entire building into a national monument, eventually listed and frozen in time, it hints at the sig- nificant role that tables have played across time. An appropriate surface for negotiations, conversations, meals, games, and much more, a table orches- trates social interaction in a very particular way: it lets people meet on the same horizontal level; it allows for both informal and formal settings; it forces us to face each other, look each other in the eye, and to communicate in one way or another. A table pulls us together, but the tabletop provides us at the same time with a comfortable distance from our tablemates, offering a perfect balance between the social and private, between exposure and secre- cy. Depending on its shape and size, a table establishes hierarchies; it dic- tates both spatial and social positions, leaving someone at the head, some- one at the bottom, and someone in between. At times you are seated beside an enemy, at times beside a friend, and at times you find yourself seated at a roundtable with a particular kind of nonhierarchical setting.
