Plant the fence
PiantaLà redesigns the iconic symbol of the fence by reducing it to a graphic sign. A partition made of metal rod to be planted directly in the soil or in the pots, the grid allows the vine growing that creates the visual separation. By repeating the module it’s possible to create linear compositions to define public and private spaces, indoors or outdoors. An ironic and communicating object where the form is a symbol of function.

Organisation
Each year in October Dutch Design Week is
held in Eindhoven. Dutch Design Week is a professional organization
that, supported by the Eindhoven Design community, seeks to develop a
stimulating and dynamic design climate in all cultural, social and
economic domains in the region of Eindhoven. To that end, DDW organizes
events, conferences, lectures and workshops based on three major
dimensions: cultural stimulation, social cohesion and economic
enhancement.
The objective is to further improve the cultural,
economic and professional climate of design in the Eindhoven region and
to position Eindhoven nationally and internationally as Design Capital. DDW
seeks to join forces in order to turn Dutch Design Week both nationally
and internationally into a distinctive, leading design manifestation
for a wide range of target groups. The municipality of Eindhoven is
aware of the fact that the design event is a major leverage to promote
the design climate of Eindhoven, and has offered financial support.

Stripped
With the Stripped design a piece of nature is transformed into a standing lamp, by a minimum number of modifications.
Stripped is made out of one branch only, which is split into three parts beneath. As a result, the legs of a standing lamp are made. The bark is almost entirely pealed from the branch and with a rotating movement formed into a lamp-shade.
Each part of the tree branch obtains a new function, without losing its natural and exceptional appearance.
