Here is the official one-minute video summarising the crucial moments of our
event “From earth to the Earth” which took place at the Fuorisalone 2009:
the concept, Refin and DesignTaleStudio ceramic tiles, Michele De Lucchi and
his temporary architecture made of ceramic, the guests and visitors, the
Triennale exhibition. What do you think?

On Refin’s website, we have just published a celebrative page for the event with a complete photo- gallery and videos (which you will also find on our DesignTaleStudio Youtube channel).

In this second video, taken at the “Sustainable project” meeting we organised during the recent Fuorisalone, Paolo Tamborrini (Professor at the University Politecnico in Turin and author of the book “Design Sostenibile, oggetti, sistemi e comportamenti”), Mario Zoccatelli (president of Green Building Council Italy) and Davide Carra (in charge of Environmental and Quality systems for Gruppo Concorde) comment on the building industry in Italy: planners, manufacturers, builders.

During the recent event, “From earth to the Earth”, an interesting meeting called “Sustainable project” took place, a meeting that was focused on the themes of bio-building, sustainable design and made in Italy products. We will dedicate some posts to reviewing some of the most crucial moments of this meeting: in this first excerpt, Davide Carra, head of and Quality systems at Gruppo Concorde (which Refin, DesignTaleStudio’s parent company, is part of) talks about the problems that a ceramic tile company could face when adopting this kind of “sustainable” approach.

The Fourisalone has closed and we will now start publishing some videos filmed during our event “From earth to the Earth” at the Triennale in Milan.

This is the recording of the introductory speech by architect Michele De Lucchi, the creator of our design set, during the press preview on Tuesday, April 21. Just a few words but extremely striking and sometimes even surprising, in fact, we all already knew about his love for wood, which he manifested in his work “casette a forma di casa“ (little houses in the shape of houses) but his recent rediscovery of ceramic and natural a href=”http://www.architetturadipietra.it/wp/?p=2436″>stones in general allows us to witness important creative opportunities.

Last summer, during the first production of R+Evolution ceramic collection, we filmed some of the manufacturing processes in our laboratory. We condensed the entire production process into a short, one and a half minute video: Karim’s designs, colours, glazes and firing.

It is almost time and tomorrow the shutters come up at Cersaie 2008, the most important ceramic trade-fair in the world. The spacious DesignTaleStudio and Refin stand catches the eye in hall 36, an open and strikingly colourful stand displaying the new collections of the R+Evolution series by Karim Rashid (who, not by chance, is also the designer of the stand).

Tomorrow, we will publish some images of the stand. As a teaser, enjoy the slideshow showing the countless possible combinations of decors and cladding available in R+Evolution.

Karim Rashid sent us a short video in which he explains his new R+Evolution collection for DTS. As well as watching it on our home page, you can watch it on the designtalestudio channel of YouTube.

Krizia was the guest on the last day of Trascreativity at the Triennale in Milan. The fashion designer told us about the different aspects influencing her style, relating some anecdotes about her career and not holding anything back when she was asked to express her idea on hot design topics.

In this video, Krizia comments on her ceramic prototype created for DesignTaleStudio: a composition of six 60×120 cm ceramic slabs depicting a huge panther and a leopard.

During his appearance at Design On Stage Trascreativity, Alessandro Mendini dedicated much of his discussion to the creativity and innovation of languages. In particular, in this section of the speech, he is talking about transgression, the “fil rouge” of the Trascreativity event, noticing that, to be interesting, a project must “create a nuisance” somehow.
