Akademie der Bildenden Künste München

This was THE highlight of Designer's Saturday '08: The entire first floor of the Mühlehaus contained this alien-like installation, imagined by the students of the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Munich. It was made from plastic strips you normally use to keep together all sorts of cables. Though they used a rather rigid materiel, the whole thing was confortable and the atmosphere very cosy and comforting.
I asked about how much time was necessary for it. The project from planning and designing to the final result took 3 months, from which 6 weeks were necessary to weave the whole structure, employing 52 students full-time !
Bravo!!

Think what good you could do in the world, what change for the better you could effect with 3 months full-time work from 52 stud-
Oh, hang on. I'd forgotten about that minor detail. Maybe not.

This thing, whatever it is, is kind of freaky.

So if I tried to do one for me, it'd only take me 12 years, 9 months.

Maybe I won't then :)

C'est très cool en effet M. Style mais même 4 ans et trois mois ça me paraît encore trop :)

C'est absolument génial cette installation de colliers en nylon... j'aurais jamais pensé qu'on puisse les utiliser de la sorte ;-)

C'est vraiment le truc le plus innovateur qu'il y avait à cette expo...Et on pourra même imaginer d'utiliser ce matériel pour en fabriquer des meubles ( comme les cocons sur quelques autres photos ) pour l'extérieur...mais vu la main-d'ouevre, le prix serait exorbitant.

brilliant. recycling is becoming very popular here also..
and although this is made of plastic strips.. a wonderfully organic looking installation.
