tord boontje for moroso: 'flower table' at milan design week 09

the m'afrique exhibition held at the moroso showroom during milan design week, celebrated the african continent through works by designers, artists and craftspeople.

material research is, again, a key element in patricia urquiola's 'fergana' collection, whose fabrics combine ancient weaving techniques from uzbekistan with european industrial manufacturing techniques.

its basic shape is a hexagonal arrangement inspired by molecular geometry or a snowflake.

in his new collection of work, tord boontje overturns conventional expectations of what lace might be constructing lighting, furniture and fashion pieces from low-tech materials using traditional craft skills.

tord boontje 'charming' collection is intricatley detailed depicting shapes of flowers and animals.
