As the title says, its concept is playing with the geologic phenomenon of the tectonics. Its several pieces should whereas the main body remains transparent and would be slightly revealed through the 'plates'. Just call, if you are interested in realising this project together. <img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/2841703/01 Cargo Layers.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/2841703/01 Cargo Layers_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/2841703/02 Cargo Layers.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/2841703/02 Cargo Layers_o.jpg" align="left" /> Tectonic Vase #1 | 40 cm, several materials ··································································· More soon! http://hannesgrebin.com/COZY-FURNITURE http://hannesgrebin.com/following/hannesgrebin.com/COZY-FURNITURE Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:31:21 +0000 HANNES GREBIN | DESIGN & RETHINK 241073 I was determined to make a complete redesign of the “German parlour/living room”. I limited the furniture range to the 6 archetypes of the ordinary German living room, the couch, the arm chair, the carpet, the wall unit, the ceiling lamp and finally the traditional German tile table (just in design phase). <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 01.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 01_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 02.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 02_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 03.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 03_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 04.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Sessel 04_o.png" align="left" /> Ohrensessel | wingchair ·············································· Especially on my research on the topic gemutlichkeit/cosiness I found out that terms as taste or comfort are a matter of learning, which are changing at any time and can easily be adapted. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Couch3_o.jpg" align="left" /> Spießersofa | couch ······································ Therefore, in an experiment I tried to dissect the familiar image of Cosiness like in movies or television, this very illustrative Cozy of the German 70s, to creatively rearticulate it. I wanted to dissolve the otherwise clear symmetry of furniture and it’s just visually coded function (A couch looks like a couch – is a couch …) . <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Schrankwand.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Schrankwand_o.jpg" align="left" /> Schrankwand | cabinet ············································ The respective original object shouldn’t be reduced just to absurdity. I rather “zeroed” its geometry or sometimes I only rearranged it. A precise assignment of functions of the resulting un-or non-forms is now only possible through their texture (fabric) or applications (fringes, patterns, lace doilies), which are radiating neatness and a certain familiarity in spite of the predominant geometric dissonance. This creates the very disturbing effect of these. Despite its fractal and asymmetric geometry the furniture perfectly meet the demands of ergonomics. Thus I wanted to erupt from the everlasting symmetry of furniture. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Perser2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/01 Perser2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Perser | rug ······················· Furthermore I can’t actually understand why at the current state of the techniques hardly one designer is experimenting sculpturally. It seems as if the opportunities offered by a sculptural, process-oriented, generated and unique furniture design (guided by “Design on Demand”, e.g. “Sinter Chair”, O. Vogt, H. Weizenegger) today, if ever, are to be explored somewhere in scripting ( “Vendome”, C. Weisshaar, R. Kram). <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Lampe 01.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Lampe 01_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Lampe 02.png" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/241073/Lampe 02_o.png" align="left" /> Deckenleuchte | pendant light ························································ Quite differently, in my approach/production pipeline I’ve integrated a deliberately traditional modeling with clay as part of my design work and for a start I would like to place this project under the hybrid term of “digital craft” or “NEOCRAFT” . And also in relation to a possible production of the pieces, especially in the current production discourse on craftsmanship, I can very well imagine a craft production. Ultimately, it should be mentioned, that I didn’t want to make just furniture. I’t was much more important for me that although all objects work excellent as individual pieces, just in the specific arrangement of the “German living room, the design objects become objects for discussion, in order to lead the theoretical design discourse to new ways and approaches. In my defense my supervising professor considered all of my designs as a “disciplined joke”. That frankly falls a bit short for me.······· http://hannesgrebin.com/SKYBED http://hannesgrebin.com/following/hannesgrebin.com/SKYBED Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:31:20 +0000 HANNES GREBIN | DESIGN & RETHINK 313755 The canopy bed as my ultimate interpretation of relaxation furniture but rather as an island for temporary resting. It's going along with my postmodern design approach and represents just as well a disputatious contribution to today's overdesigned world. It's playing with dreamful, fabulous and even royal aspects and reveals this irritating almost surrealistic image of a resting place regarding resting as the real luxury. The materials were chosen to get this harsh mixture of hightech vs. cosy & traditional materials to exaggerate this reinterpreting, unorthodox approach of a domestic landscape. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/313755/SkyBed grey.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="497" width_o="670" height_o="497" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/313755/SkyBed grey_o.jpg" align="left" /> Skybed | canopy bed http://hannesgrebin.com/PINKELGITTER http://hannesgrebin.com/following/hannesgrebin.com/PINKELGITTER Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:31:18 +0000 HANNES GREBIN | DESIGN & RETHINK 245108 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, porta tempus, ut viverra dui mauris mi enim eget, ipsum pellentesque a enim, aenean ante.

In order to protect her beloved collection from the clutches of the ascetic modernist, who did not even shrink from ruthless methods to proselytise his undiscerning clientele, Mrs Tugendhat hid the pieces in the basement. Had it been up to the will of Mies and his avant-garde colleagues, all small collector's pieces and their delicately rocheted place mats could have stayed in the basement. However, the odious small crocheted tablecloth could never be banished from the minds and apartments once and for all. With the so-called pee grating by designer Hannes Grebin, Berlin, architects are now able to give a "spattering" utterance to their disgust." http://hannesgrebin.com/STROKETABLE http://hannesgrebin.com/following/hannesgrebin.com/STROKETABLE Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:59:16 +0000 HANNES GREBIN | DESIGN & RETHINK 1433111 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/02.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="472" width_o="670" height_o="472" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/02_o.jpg" align="left" /> Stroketable | couchtable My new table design is inspired by optical illusions and plays with material layering <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/10.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="503" width_o="670" height_o="503" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/10_o.jpg" align="left" /> In the end this minimal couch table design derives from a simple marker sketch <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/5 Variants 670px.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="447" width_o="670" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/1433111/5 Variants 670px_o.jpg" align="left" /> Currently available in 5 different colours plus natural from ash & maple starting at 1300€ excl. shipping.

So for the last 2 years I had some discussions with possible labels to work together but in the end unfortunately we all had to admit that we definitely would face difficulties by placing such a unique product that wouldn't fit into their respective range. Finally we decided to go a little kickstarting :) Why not trying to finance this project and the first load of CuckooWatches via this new promising way of crowd funding. Currently we are very busy in finalizing the design, working on first prototypes plus packaging and on a first corporate design. After this first period we want to publish this project on Kickstarter. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/374200/05 1300-1345 670px.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="447" width_o="670" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19349/374200/05 1300-1345 670px_o.jpg" align="left" /> New CuckooWatch | digital animated watch Currently in close collaboration with a manufacturer and distributor from the UK.
