'noe project'

'noe project' by andrás rigler from france is one of the 150 shortlisted entries from the recent
designboom competition 'the intelligent hand' in collaboration with macef.

noe project is hand-made molding, in which rigler has included small figurines as a means
to shake-up the often mute, geometric or plant-based themes of this decorative art.
it is a tribute to animals, insects and their undeniable virtues. the 'trophies' of this prototype
are molded and applied one by one onto the moulding's base. all made of plaster.

the jury is almost finished making their selections and the results of the competition will be
unveiled on january 15th, 2010.
