EDITORIAL Tiago Krusse

The environment issues are once again over the table. The president of the United States of America, Barack Obama, expressed a sort of a mea culpa speech concerning its own country contribution as one of the most destructive economies. The pollution and the destruction of our environment are again on the international agenda just before the meeting in Paris. There is a sense of an urge that goes far beyond political matters or the dispute of the last natural resources. These old concerns show somehow know an impression of fear towards dramatic climate changes and how this would represent a world scale of new realities that would put in question not only the way we live on a global habitat but also menacing in a short period of time the existence of rational and irrational animal species.

We have been talking about green energies and new forms of using and reusing materials but societies did not change a bit of their habits. Of course we have seen some changes and some contributions that were able to slow down the rhythm of destruction.

Still the problems concerning directly industrialization and consumerism prevail because there is no clear intention in stopping bad processes and worst solutions. Worse solutions we said because as we all can see it took just some years after terrific nuclear disasters and governments and countries are again

challenging nature in the same way.

About consumerism we all can see how waste and pollution it is increasing year after year. People seemed to tolerate this because trash and misery is put aside from site. Trash shipped away to poor societies and socially unequal economies that explore human misery to obtain profit from garbage fields, loaded with all sorts of technological waste. Polluting soils, rivers, oceans and getting people killed by poisoning.

We have not seen yet any kind of intentions to alter processes and to discuss all those identified problems of proveniences and consequences. But now we can sense that fear on the eyes of politicians and for the first time we know that they are not playing with words in order to get some more votes. There is a sensation of despair towards facts that can no longer be disguised to the public view. So we all can see clearly now on how irrational we have been since the last centuries, irrational to the point of putting in danger our own specie. It is my belief that the primordial task to be taken is to change human behavior. Only through education we can move to a common commitment of values and respect for the whole Earth harmony. There is no time for reviewing again the conclusions and it’s getting late to proceed with the right actions.

MELISSA ONE BY ONE CASE In the product discipline, the Melissa One by One project was one of the 2015 iF Design Award winners.

Text: Contribution of Centro Brasil Design (CBD) Photographs: Divulgação

The product was designed as a way of giving new meaning to footwear, as the same shoe fits both feet and allows the pieces to be sold separately.

According to Paula Agustini from Grendene S/A’s Design Management department, inspiration came from something unparalleled. “First, for translating something quite unusual from these current times of digital versus analog technology. Our digital life brings people closer at the same time it keeps them apart. Considering the word Melissa in Greek means the ‘priestess that brings the nectar of life’ (bee and honey), inspiration emerged as we tried to define what is the most important nectar of life, and then came up with the topic of people coming closer and sharing their feelings.

From this concept, we had the idea of creating a mysterious product that brings people closer as they tackle the unusual issue of wearing a shoe that fits both feet, may be purchased as a single unit, may be worn on either foot to create other combinations, makes it possible to give one shoe as a gift while allowing the recipient to choose the other, allows people to share other combinations with their family and friends, gives amputees the ability to purchase a single shoe only, and ensures people whose feet are different sizes can buy different shoe sizes,” noted Paula.

Made of MELFLEX, an exclusive polymer (PVC) formulation that allows for design geometries, flexibility, comfort, and recyclability, in addition to the use of the sensory “Melissa Scent” brand.

This project required seven years of discussions by our in-house but a few weeks to get the idea off the paper. Several company departments were involved in this collaborative process, including sales, financial, and manufacturing. “For a company that has always pursued innovation throughout its history, this is one of the various projects we have undertaken that have ensured we achieved the expected results,” added Paula.

One by One shoes hit the stores in October 2014 and remain top sellers to this day. “This is a rare opportunity and an honor to belong to a select group of peers presented with this award. This is an accomplishment by all of the designers, everyone at Grendene, and the company itself, which has been supporting us and investing in design for over 30 years,” Paula summed up.

IGA WEGLINSKA

Iga Weglinska defines herself as a conceptual fashion designer. She recently found her own fashion label and from the studio in Cracow, in Poland, a few manufactured products have been brought to life. Working in the fields of fashion and industrial design, Iga has clear ideas about the essence of the work she started developing. She expresses on her notes an intellectual approach to fashion also “as an art and fashion that gives a wearer a feeling of singularity”. The reflections on clothing are taken from a sculptural point of view, to be beautifully used by the human body. The design process it is focused on form, allowing emotions to be evoked when users are wearing her concepts. About the regular clothes line she mentions that is “designed in harmony with the idea of slow fashion”, she seeks for the best quality fabrics and therefore enhancing the “highest standards of craftmanship and great construction”. Aiming for well-designed products there is this commitment with durable clothes that could be up to date for several seasons. On the other hand, Iga believes that designers should take advantage of their creativeness and search for new aesthetics, forms and interpretations.

Iga Weglinska has been exhibiting her skills throughout the world and over the last two years her shoes projects have been presented in museums and various exhibitions in Europe, Asia and America. www.igaweglinska.com

BOY. WOMENSWEAR CAPSULE COLLECTION Collection consists of garments strongly influenced by men’s fashion – shirts, jackets and vests. The same principle was considered while selecting the textiles.

Collection is made from pure natural shirting cotton and wool suiting fabrics characteristic for menswear.

Collection is characterised by rough forms and subtle silhouette deconstruction. All collection pieces were made with the idea of slow fashion in mind – buy less but better quality. They are made from the finest fabrics in keeping the highest standards of craftsmanship.

CONCEPTUAL FORM OF WOMEN’S SHOES The method conduct was a deconstruction, not only of a shoe but also of the way of thinking about the shoe.

The projects combine the world of industrial design with the world of apparel design, art with craft, tradition with modernity – through the form of shoes but also in the used fabrics, like leather and plastics. they are a combination of traditional shoemaker's methods with new technologies like 3D scan, 3D printing, CNC milling. Shoes cast from the material developed especially for this purpose are the results of collaboration with a chemist.

The essence of this project is form – with reference to shape, material and emotions. I was inspired

by Japanese aesthetic wabi-sabi which is based on seeking beauty in imperfection. In this collection the shoes are regarded as sculptures which also serve in practical usage.

DESIGN CATARINA

The Design Catarina was one of the exhibitions of the Brazilian Design Biennial Florianópolis 2015 that took place from the 15th of May to the 12th of July. The purpose of the exhibition was to show how the design culture is well implemented on the 4th more industrialized state of Brasil, presenting not only a wide variety of products but also spreading a strategy between public and private institutions that were able to introduce the importance of the discipline for the economy of the Santa Catarina state.

In 2014, one year before the Brazilian Design Biennial Florianópolis 2015, we were invited by Roselie Lemos of the Centro Design Catarina to make a visit through Santa Catarina which is the 4th more industrialized state of Brasil. This trip organized by the Centro Design Catarina was supported by the Brazilian government and some public institutions related to professional education, industry and tourism. There was a clear intention to show all the efforts developed by the government and local public and private institutions to promote the design culture through the state and with that a strategy based upon the improvement of education and the introduction of new industrial approaches on the production system. So not everything it’s said about Brazil is bad and we mean that we have witness a well organized economical strategy for the development of the Santa Catarina societies. Despite the different societies that Santa Catarina holds through the state, not only in what it is related to historical, social and anthropological aspects, the geographic context it is also important.

We saw a good work held by the Federations of the Industries of Santa Catarina (FIESC) towards focused initiatives to promote new opportunities for the economy by showing the benefits of introducing changes on the industrial structures. These changes have to do with education, knowledge and technology, key elements that a design culture is aware of. So we saw good implemented strategy from the textile industry, ceramic or software. By connecting education, technology and innovation some of the local industries are not only showing good level of redevelopment but also improving a lot in their

24

competitiveness. Despite development and competitiveness been spread throughout the state, one negative aspect that we’ve witness is that all economy and distribution is depending on the truck lobby so all cargo transportation is reduced to that because there is no railway cargo and aero cargo is expensive. I dare to say that economy is very much dependable of heavy truck lobby. We believe that the means of distribution is one key issue that urges for a wide national discussion, in the present state it is obstructive for all the different Brazilian economical systems.

Roselie Lemos express her intention to show what the Santa Catarina state has to show, the high quality standards of its products, a well organized entrepreneurial force and a diversified industry. In the 60’s the Santa Catarina industries were the ones that start calling for qualified professional designers so the state economy despite all the political and economical changes of the last 50 years was able to kept this commitment with design. So great efforts and investments made on improving education and spreading technological knowledge linked with innovative means of production. Roselie proudly says that “we do have design, textile, ceramic, leather and accessories, furniture, appliances, games and software, machinery, transport and packaging, in addition to utilities, equipment and athletic apparel.” The production level has high quality and the manufactured items show how detail is kept in mind. Roselie adds that “industry takes a step forward showing its vision in value of design and its enormous contribution to the sustainable economic development of the country.”

SUSHI HOUSE IN PORTO Architecture: Paulo Merlini Arquitectos Text: Tiago Krusse Photographs: Joao Morgado - Architectural Photography

47

Sober and simple this work of 2014 by the Paulo Merlini Arquitectos. The migration of the ideas and concepts for this sushi house space in Porto were so well done. Maybe there is not that much complexity in it but we are sure that precision took the most important role in the planning.

Without clear intentions and precise instructions none of this would have result in such a magical outcome.

The 25m2 space faces a busy street but showing the public how small can be beautiful and serve man. The Paulo Merlini Arquitectos team gave a little magic atmosphere to such tiny space, working the restaurant and providing its clients a comfortable experience with the whole, not only while eating but also when viewing the cooking process. The describing text by the architects express the purpose of creating an ideal and suitable space for arranging and preparing the fish. The sushi man is the main protagonist, between the entrance and the balcony his art will inspire clients by building a clean relationship in which all the aspects of cooking and the grace of serving are let to be watched. A clear seduction with a simple intention.

The space devoted to the preparation of the sets

48

of dishes is a well organized niche where the contrast of the building materials and games of light and shadow adds that mystical idea we’ve built about the whole cooking sushi process. In a sense the architects played here with anthropological and cultural rituals.

Clients would have only 9m2 where they could have their meals. The exiguity of the space leave us to think how Japanese are able to take the best out of such small spaces. The conceptual approach took also in consideration symbols and how through them we can easily connect with values and aspirations of a different culture. The sushi sticks worked most perfectly, by keeping the budget low but creating a clear stenographic statement. By repeating the sushi stick for 8,400 times, placing them like a structured cloud, the artistic composition intends to suggest the profile of a Japanese temple.

The color scheme was chosen in full respect of the traditional aesthetic of the Japanese composition of visual elements. Shadow plays an important role underlining the balance and the equilibrium of the architectonic harmonies. Dark walls meant for absorbing the light and therefore enhancing the cloud made of sushi sticks.
