The Sideboard is part of a collection designed by AVDW, called Transfurniture. A series of furniture pieces that brings back product design to functionality and usability, lost over the past years in due to “limited edition” trend. The sideboard itself uses no glue or screws, but it is still a robust container, thanks to the industrial belt and clamp that keeps it together. To be used in any kind of ambient, either modern or classic. The project takes care as well of the transportation issue. In fact, all products of the Transfurniture series can be easily stackable during transport and are easy to assemble. Last but not least, the “hand-made” works are almost none in the working process, so the sideboard is a very industrial piece.

The Spiro chair design utilizes the controlled precision of modern technology and materials without being defined by them. The main form of the chair is constructed in Corian – a material that can be milled flat and heat formed, whilst ensuring minimal loss of detail from complex patterns or waste of material through the manufacturing process. The legs are bent stainless steel and assembled by hand.
The engraved artwork is inspired by the parametric equation of the hypotrochoid (commonly known as the ‘spriograph’), but the manufacturing technique used to construct the body of the chair allows for maximum customization through CAM, to suite any environment.

APRRO

The UNBEWEAVEABLE wingback chair is inspired by threshold living such as occurs in California and other similar climates; designed to sit happily in both indoor and outdoor environments. The form is informed by the Victorian wingback contemporized by a bent stainless frame. Hand knitted polypropylene rope reminiscent of a hammock is woven to the frame creating a suspended seat. The scale and privacy of this oversized wingback allows two people to entwine within, enveloped in the tactile gossamer surface.


M Chaise
Multifunctional Chaise

Leather matched to clients desire
Its multitude of sitting positions and the impressive structural feat of hovering the 6” thick padded the seat for 84”

The M Chaise is a multifunctional piece of furniture. Its inspiration is drawn from the declining etiquette of formal upright sitting in contemporary society.

The faceted nature of the M allows a person to sit, recline or lie in a multitude of positions and orientations and it allows multiple users to sit directly opposite each other. An internally hidden steel structure allows the 6” thick seat to span the 84” between the legs, giving the appearance that the chaise is hovering over the aluminum legs.

ZiPP Lightshade | 2008
The ZiPP lightshade is a versatile shade using a zipping design by Arash and Kelly using
Poly Propylene.
The shade can literally zip into a seed like shapeor be unzipped to look like a flower. The shade is approx 50cm in diameter in this flower state.
By changing the angles of the shapes you can create different effects some say resembling jelly fish. Or...zip it loosely and get the lampshade.
Made in Brighton, U.K.

Mod-u-lar bend-a-lier

It‘s the first moment which is crucial - the atmosphere on entering a room,
The interplay of colour and form, of light and space. We designed the
Mod-u-lar bend-a-lier for a diversity of spaces. The mod-u-lar bend-a-lier can grow into any desired size and shape like a tree.

The bend-a-lier is a chandelier that is made of modular laser cut metal arms that can be bent into any desired shape. There are 3 differents sets of arms, ones with sockets for fitting, plain, and a 3 armed one. If desired the mod-u-lar bend-a-liercan be hung without bending, and let gravity do the styling. The innovation of having special magnet-fitted crystals makes the application easier and provides for a random and wide varitey of applications. These features turn the chandelier into a very adaptable product since it can be altered according to mood or the desired effect.

As a lighting source we propose standard large clear globe lightbulbs or mirrored lightbulbs depending on the postion it is hung, fitted into porcelain fittings, since they are not only dimmable, but also emit beautiful light and bring out the full beauty of the bend-a-lier. The bend-a-lier comes in 2 sizes, the large one being 1000cm/100cm ad the small version is 50/50cm.

The concept "sliZed" came about one evening whilst i was sitting in my usual japanese dining haunt, making idil chit chat with the sushi chef we came onto a topic: the technique of slicing and how it is an art form. I then began researching sliced elements and visual cues in the urban and fashion environment, from zebra crossings, digital numbers to YSL latest "IT" heel, I became obsessed with lines and segments and the re-occurring black and white, white and black configuration. Black and white, white and black using a natural medium "wood" became the best use of hue and material to show visually the sliZed lines/forms/concept in an organic manner. Yet because all the pieces are individual each product/piece has the possibility to be custom coloured and custom sized: for example magenta sliZed lines with royal blue sections, the choice and imagination is completely up to the owner of sliZed.

With a view to the spread illumination there has been made use of a living flower with a hollow stalk, such as an Amaryllis. The use of a cylinder glass (acrylic plastic) in the foot makes the bottom waterproof.
Placing the hollow stalk over the lighting tube makes an illumination possible from within the stalk of the Amaryllis. The plant does not suffer from the light; it is able to grow according to a normal process via the water in the vase.

Full Circle
Multi-user Bench
Composite Material
1260 x 1100 x 850 mm / 49.6 x 43.3 x 33.5 in
A Range of Vibrant Colours and Finishes Made to Order
Varied Edition of 20 + 1 Artist’s Proof
April 2010

Full Circle is a multi-user design with a sweeping form that explores the space between two common chairs. A central mane bifurcates into a sensuous back support that re-embraces the overall form and consequently generates a flow between seat and bulbous base. A new typology emerges in the round that arouses curiosities and invites multiple modes of habitation as an abstracted daybed or bench.

1760 x 1050 x 220 mm / 69.3 x 41.3 x 8.7 in

Edition of 6 + 2 Artist’s Proof
March 2010

Ren is sculpted from a single block of White Carrara marble and utilizes a combination of cutting-edge CNC milling technologies and exquisite hand crafting techniques. It denies the distinction between tabletop and base while homogenizing each component into a species that hovers precariously, oblivious to its function. Ren varies in thickness and is marked by unexpected twists, bulges, and detailing on the underside. The design animates the stone and strikes harmonic balances throughout its luminous surface.

April 2010

Tootsie is a constellation distinguished by interlocking marble tile units that are adaptable to endless possibilities upon aggregation. Each unit is comprised of four distinct tiles defined by varying gradients of grey. In this particular example, the marble is no longer a static, fixed, or permanent material installation; instead, it takes on soft and pliant characteristics typical of traditional woven rugs. As if displaced from a previous setting, it is a nomadic floor mosaic capable of constant re-installation.

HUBLER "APPLIED LITERATURE" 2010 mixed media
Table / Storage
by Studio IVANKA in collaboration with fine artist János Hübler

Concrete experiences based on abstract concepts
A creation using concrete in various planimetrical surface and books with concrete history. The absence of the books, due to their various dimensions, form different shapes of various depths and heights. The result concrete structure will not have a final shape, because, by using it, visitors can change the books or remove them.

The politically outdated books have been donated by the Research Institute of Radio Free Europe, the once active radio channel, sponsored by the US that fought against the Communism before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The table constitutes a monument to eternal knowledge - set in concrete- and a monument to the degeneration of information, to the immortality of the past and to its disintegration, while also offering an opportunity to reflect on the essence of the book.

The aesthetic reaction is not generated by the composition, rather than the abstraction of the artwork. Our aim here is not to show the technical virtuosity, the perfection of the design but the conscious use of the technology, with all of its poorly, rigid potentialities. The control over the material is obligate on a certain level, but not the intention.
Inspirations of the material are in the focus of fine artist János Hübler’s compositions, and IVANKA’s entire work.

Hubler table with Oscar Niemeyer - Two generations of concrete
Hidden Heroes 2010 will host an homage exhibition to Oscar Niemeyer and his most famous creation, Brasilia, city of concrete. IVANKA, a Hidden Heroes exhibitor in 2010 got the honour to present Hubler table togehter with the portrait of the architect - a living legend, pioneer in exploring the formal possibilities of reinforced concrete solely for their aesthetic impact. His stunning work blankets the cities of Brazil. Niemeyer has just turned 102 and Brasilia will celebrate its 50th anniversary on the 21st of April 2010. IVANKA Studio and Concrete Company - founded in 2004 by András Ivanka and Katalin Ivanka - have just made its debut last year’s Milan Design Week 2009SaloneSatellite event with SEEYOU Gravestone.

Niemeyer is a committed communist, ‘one of the last Communists’ on this planet. Ivankas are dreamers and doers living in the fabulous city of Budapest in the middle of Central Europe, where the 20-year transition since the end of communism has just come to an end with a fundamental crisis. The model that they saw being implemented in the 1990s and 2000s is finished. The fragile new democracy’s now facing a most serious paradigm shift. After all across the region there is no nostalgia for the bad old days on the wrong side of the iron curtain.
Through their creative expressions with concrete, an affinity for material and a search for new technological solutions, the exhibit thus links these artists of different fields and generations who are representing totally different political, economic and cultural state.
Their works speak volumes about their countries of origin, and also about their approaches to design.

Hidden Radio
Radio + iPod speaker
Plastic and metal.
80x80x88mm
White
Most intuitive radio ever.
July 2010
Mass market
N/A
www.hiddenradiodesign.com
Created by Australian designer (now based in San Francisco) John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen, the Hidden Radio attempts to be silent both visually and functionally by having the cap in the downward position. By lifting up the cap the user proportionally increases the volume. The further the cap goes up the louder the sound gets. To tune the radio you simply rotate the cap and receive feedback of tuning quality via the LED on the front. The product also offers and audio in jack to allow the user to connect their ipod or MP3 player.

This product burst onto the internet as a concept exploration, the demand from the public was so intense we knew we needed to bring the product to production. It has been featured in numerous design journals and on over 200 blogs with some describiing it as “...maybe the most intuitive product ever...”
