Finally back in Oslo and wrapping up this year’s 100% design. There was a lot of nice design and designers, but few who I felt really stood out as something wery special. I think actually I never had this WOW-feeling, and that kind of disappointed me a little. But still there were a couple of things that I liked a lot. This lamp that i rushed by at Designers Block I found appealing, it might have helped that the background matched so well. Now I have been incredibly unproffesional and forgotten to take notes of the names of the designers, but I guess that’s how it’s like to be a selfcentered designer who actually only care about his own work…

Then there was this amazing installation of diodes that moved on some advanced mechanism to imitate water: ‘Waterdrop’ from Studio Hector Serrano (www.hectorserrano.com)

As most of the stands at the 100% design show had pieces of furniture that you’d basically seen before, there were more fresh stuff at the Tent exhibition in Brick Lane. But then there were these guys who think recycling is crunching materials together to make a useless piece of furniture like on the picture below.

Still at the Tent exhibition, Nobody & co (below) had a kind of nice stand with their kind of famous “bookshelf-chair” and the table that you can roll on a new tabletop with the handle. A little too novelty-ish solutions for my taste, but still it’s fun and works well as an exhibition. I could probably say that about the “recycled-plastic-crap-chairs”  too, but no, they just annoy me..
