Cultivating Nature
15 juillet – 21 juillet 2018
L’atelier
More and more people are living in urban environments where nature is increasingly domesticated. Inspired by Boisbuchet’s great landscape, this workshop is about cultivating nature and designing products, concepts and settings for a nature that becomes part of our daily atmosphere.
During the week at Boisbuchet you'll be introduced to some industrial processes behind design but you’ll also work with your natural surrounding. You will experiment with various materials and techniques which may range from making lasting objects such as vases and planters to installations and experiments that rather deal with the ephemeral character of life.
You will be free to follow a design process that leads towards a (temporary) installation or develop prototypes and mock-ups. So at the end of the week your work might become a site-specific installation or be considered by a jury for further development into commercial products for Nomess.
Lex Pott Netherlands
Lex Pott (1985) utilise une méthode brute et intuitive. Dans son travail, il revient à l’origine des matériaux qu’il utilise le plus souvent : le bois, la pierre et le métal. Il ne cache pas les produits du design sous des couches indirectes, mais il les réduit à leur essence même. Pott travaille depuis son studio de design situé à Rotterdam. Il a obtenu son diplôme avec mention en 2009 à la Design Academy d’Eindhoven.
