EDITORIAL
The great .Wonder PAOLO BLEVE | Editor-in-chief
N
ow at its fifth year of existence, the Collectible Book of IFDM dons a new outfit, sealed by a genuine label that indicates its distinctive character – Wonder – becoming the protagonist of this publishing project. For us at IFDM this implied ratification of a reality that has clearly been there for some time: the world of Design and therefore its Beauty, from the first edition in March 2016, have represented the guidelines of the collections focusing on Contract and Hospitality. Beauty at 360 degrees, not just aesthetic but also conceptual, the beauty that is not seen but perceived when we are faced with a project that attracts ‘only’ for the harmony it channels. At the dawn of the 9th edition, then, beauty is acknowledged and displayed on the cover as a factor of re-branding, or more precisely of the consolidation of the title as .Wonder – Projects & Hospitality Collection. Wonder, for IFDM, means the best in interiors, design, architecture and production of furnishings. Wonder is the most significant of all the impressions and delights that can be conveyed to our readers. The stars of this edition include internationally acclaimed talents in architecture and interior design: 3XN, David Adjaye, Shigeru Ban, Gilles & Boissier, Kerry Hills, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Peter Marino, RDAI, Snohetta, Waterfrom. An exceptional parterre de roi for
exceptional projects, each with its own fascinating appeal. The new generations of design have also made some important achievements: art and architecture blend in the spectacular Nobu in Mexico created by the young Americans of PCH Studio, a true gem facing the ocean. The team of RBSGroup- unorthodox in terms of roles and forms of expertise – has designed the Olympic House complex in Lausanne. The effect of a ship in London is triggered by The Standard designed by Shawn Hausman and Archer Humphryes. Every project of the Wonder book is a location to discover, also behind its outer image, to better grasp its prestige and opportunities. At the same time, the partnership with ColorWorks continues. The first two Color Design Stories touch on themes that have also been explored in the past: technology, human relations, ethics and aesthetics, but also go beyond to delve in sociology (with several surprises) and the field of neurosciences. This represents confirmation of the fact that a trend is a trend if it continues in time, and that its changing forms – as in the case of technology and its users – constitute an aspect to monitor and to comprehend.

Man at the center… of color Next year’s trends put people and their relational and behavioral universe at the center of the reflections of ColorForward® on the shades that will set the tone of 2021
S
pace for yellows and oranges. But also midnight blue and intense shades of violet. The palette for the year to come is an engaging rainbow of warm, deep hues. A far cry from the tones that dominate in 2020, where there has been more space for cool, forceful tones, representing a society in conflict, in pursuit of balance, with respect to itself and to the innovations and technologies that are shaping its future. There is a close connection between the emerging movements of society and the colors that set chromatic trends: the research and interpretations have been carried out by ColorWorks®, the design & technology division of the business unit Masterbatches of

Clariant, and its international experts at four centers (Sao Paulo, Chicago, Merate and Singapore). Global trends – deduced by identifying innovations and changes that emerge from society and its dynamics in a wide range of sectors – have been grouped in four macro-themes, or Stories, literally translated into 20 colors (5 per story) to reflect the spirit of each theme. Since 16 years the research has led to ColorForward®, namely a ‘color forecasting guide’ that contains and announces color trends for the coming year.The central role of human behavior, relationships between individuals, their attitudes and emotions – as seen in the research of ColorWorks® – creates a red thread through the global trends for next year: hence the general prevalence of warm tones. Dumb numb narrates the increasingly overriding dependency on screens and digital devices, which makes human relations a matter of privilege; C-True embodies the distrust of society towards information and brands, and at the same time the growing demand for authenticity and transparency; Sense appeal is the story on neuroaesthetics, the revolutionary translation of human being individuale preferences to aesthetics. Finally, Ubuntu – a term that in the Zulu language means “I am because we are,” is a story that focuses on collaborative intelligence and collective awareness. But the (conceptual) shadings of these stories are much wider in range, as are their origins and their respective chromatic results. An introduction to this unexpected, surprising world is offered by Judith van Vliet, ColorWorks® Senior Designer and leader of the ColorForward® team, in an exclusive interview divided in the two annual Projects&Hospitality publications, to reveal the Color Trends for 2021.

ART, ARCHITECTURE AND INTERACTION The vision of Benjamin Gilmartin, partner of Diller Scofidio+Renfro, the design studio that has changed the face of New York City. And more...
O
ne of the most highly acclaimed contemporary architecture firms, Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) have completed projects that include the High Line in New York, the expansion of MoMA, and the dynamic Shed performing art center that moves on wheels. The four partners – Liz Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, Charles Renfro and Benjamin Gilmartin – and over 100 architects, designers and artists are rethinking the cities of the world and their symbols, reinventing the Victoria & Albert Museum of London and imagining a new Olympic and Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs. In a spirit of avantgarde experimentation, “I think architecture is ultimately about the social life of the city and trying to create energetic sticky spaces that foster gathering and as much interaction as possible, to attract a critical mass”.

onumental and dazzling, the new Swatch headquarters designed by Shigeru Ban Architects winds for 240 meters, gripping inside its reticular jaws an independent but perfectly complementary architectural unit for the new Omega factory and the exhibition space CitĂŠ du Temps. A clearly iconic project, because it playfully unwinds with curves, transparencies, colors and innovative construction technologies. It is also impressive in its numbers. An area of 25,000 square meters on five levels, 400 workstations in the Swatch International and Swatch Switzerland departments, a facade which at its highest point reaches 27 meters, 1997 cubic meters of Swiss wood used to make the dense grid of 4600 beams.
