V + W Design_Matrix

Meer over het boek

The young Berlin designers Oliver Vogt and Hermann Weizenegger already enjoy international renown--prototypes of their furniture have made their way to museums including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Beyond their original products and projects, Vogt & Weizenegger have also started an extraordinarily exciting dialogue on theory. Their ideas led to the highly respected project DIM--The Imaginary Factory, a collaboration with a Berlin workshop for the blind. Design Matrix documents a new project for a wider audience, the transformation of a museum, MARTa Herford, into a laboratory where design can be experienced and understood in all of its dimensions, from production to presentation to practical application and consumption. Georg-Christof Bertsch has said that one of V+W's most pressing motifs is the integration of lots of people in a continuous game which is such fun that no one wants to leave, and Design Matrix does just that
