i FABRIC – Audex Textile Museum
Exhibition- and graphic-design of i FABRIC : European Talent curated by Suzan Russeler for the Audex Textile Museum, Tilburg, The Netherlands.
NeoFarm at Lodz Design 2011
For the 5th anniversary of Lodz Design – Poland’s prominent design event, BCXSY was invited to curate and design one of the two main exhibitions;
NeoFarm features the work of more than 20 designers – some well-known along fresh emerging talents.
Copy Nature #2: NAILS
Part of Copy Nature #2, a project initiated by the Beeldenstorm foundry in collaboration with Onomatopee.
NAILS feature the first results of our research into the manual production of nails. The Copy Nature #2 has started with the theme ‘metal + 1′ and we have chosen nails, as they are one of the oldest manners of connecting and creating wooden constructions.
Origin part II: Balance
Balance consists of a series of seven area rugs woven in the Bedouin tradition by the women in Lakiya, Israel. Each rug is hand woven on traditional ground looms using the wool of local desert sheep. From the dying of the yarn to the weaving and final construction, each rug is the result of the collaborative efforts of many of the women in Lakiya. Through a craft that is central to Bedouin social and cultural heritage, the weavers are able to produce an extremely high-quality, durable and beautiful material.
Pavo
Pavo is a space divider made of folded paper with wooden feet.
The feet and both sides of the paper are printed using silk screen with a lined-pattern, originally hand-drawn with felt-markers. The folding lines are being embossed using blind-print technique.
Once folded a unique visual effect appears on the screens’ surfaces through the wrapping and deformation of the lines.
Origamaster Shades
Mastering the secrets of folding, long before the invention of paper itself, the immortal Origamaster has been traveling through time and space for many centuries. The few who had the chance to see him, could swear that he’s surrounded by a cloud of rapidly moving hands..
Being a very private person, the Origamaster has decided to create a piece which will help him to be less recognized while being among the living – folding a thin sheet of transparent plastic has been the perfect solution for that!
Golden Glory Nr. 005
A special clock of the Golden Glory series.
Made for Design Act Moscow.
Mixed Animals Polygon
Why does an elephant have such a long nose? We naturally associate certain proportions and patterns to certain animals. A system of magnets and separate pieces allows one to challenge these associations. Create a whole new world of species!
A one-off edition, based on BCXSY’s Mixed Animals from the 2007 PLAY! collection.
Coiled for Editions in Craft
BCXSY was invited to take part in EiC’s kick-off project, in collaboration with the Siyazama Project a bead craft collective of women from KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa , initiated by professor Kate Wells.
Coiled consists of a series of interior accessories that finds inspiration in traditional ceramic vessels – earth wares constructed by hand coils of clay.
Origin part I: Join
Join consists of a series of three space-dividers. In each piece two lined frames, representing the humble integrity inherent to the craft, are visually merged to create a moment that deviates from the conventional Tategu aesthetic, and introduces angles and shapes that are not commonly used in the craft. Because the ‘merged’ element within each piece diverges from the traditional process and the conventional aesthetic, the screens become a natural division in the interior.
City of Light
BCXSY have been invited by the Krabbedans to be it’s first ever representative during the Glow Festival 2009.
City of Light illustrates an abstract image of a city. The installation consists of four hanging LED-lit light boxes, featuring layered images of imaginary cities.
Kaleidoscope Cabinet
BCXSY has just completed the Kaleidoscope Cabinet – a modular jewelry display for the new concept shop, RA which will open in Antwerp on the 17th of October 2009.
The Kaleidoscope Cabinet features a simple construction, consisting of oak plywood, mirrors and hardened-glass, which achieves a striking visual effect and a unique manner of displaying the exhibited jewelry pieces.
Copy Nature
Copy Nature / The Nature of Copies is a project initiated by Max Lipsey who gathered 12 different designers who were given the chance to experiment with metal casting at the Beeldenstorm metal casting workshop, TU terrain, Eindhoven.
Boaz and Sayaka were happy to be two of the invited designers and worked on two individual projects;
Mode Belofte & Items 2009
BCXSY have designed the presentation and graphics for Mode Belofte & Items Eindexamen Selectie exhibition at the Krabbedans, for the Dutch Design Week 2009.
Getting Lost
Getting Lost is finding the new and unexpected.
Getting Lost is self-reflection, self-discovery, self-awareness.
Getting Lost is facing the inner struggle, moving between moments of confusion and moments of light.
an exhibition curated by BCXSY
Re-skinned
Fine leather garments and fur coats have always been considered luxurious and exclusive. However, because of slight damage or changing fashion trends, what was once a prized possession becomes an antiquated dust collector.
Re-skinned explores the ways we use and re-use valuable materials.
7 Stones
a dynamic shelving solution with one sitting element made of PU-rubber coated foam.
limited edition of 6 sets + 1 prototype
CHANGE!
Welcome to the new Stone Age..
CHANGE! features furniture and home accessories built from rubber-coated foam.
Beyond the striking aesthetics, the design of the collection is based on the unexpected experience of using the material, which looks hard and heavy, but in fact is soft, flexible and light.
See-Saw Bookshelf SHINE
See-Saw Bookshelf SHINE is a 21 pieces limited edition of the See-Saw Bookshelf (part of BCXSY’s PLAY! collection)
The See-Saw Bookshelf SHINE is made of maple wood and engraved stainless steel parts.
FOREVER!
How long is an eternity? How does one quantify the unquantifiable? What is the span of one day compared with endless time and space?
BCXSY is pleased to present FOREVER! – a collection of uniquely individual and materially rich products that explores how the function, aesthetics, and emotions of design can help to define the indefinable.
