and
money for milan
http://www.moneyformilan.com
money for milan was founded out of necessity in 1995, in order to finance a 3 year stay in milan.
at money for milan, we offer anew living scenarios for this fast-changing world...
proposals for life in an overcrowded, multicultural, hyperinformative city.
these proposals serve existing and current functional needs and address desires we anticipate will exist in the future.
...about 'beautyfool' products
'beautyfool' is a collection of things, materials and textures which "normally" have preconceived, negative notions attached to them.
by combining plastics, chipboard and zinc metal in innovative ways, we have provided these materials with new aesthetic qualities...
new personalities...quite simply with life.
'cube' family by markus benesch,
when switched off the cubes appear as reflective objects which mirror their surrounding;
once switched on, the cubes reveal their secrets and transform into either a tridimensional bubble,
a glistening, shiny, tropical fish, or the warmth of summer straw. they can be dimmed!
'criss-cross' by markus benesch
the 'holographic' panels are magnetic and
are stuck onto the cupboard doors.
'luno', vase made of aluminium and
flourescent plastic, design by markus benesch
