International exhibition “Future Materials”

showcases new materials created by designers of Holland, Hungary and Estonia.

Materials’ Future Life

Dutch designers, artists, scientists and manufacturers took the subject as a challenge and demonstrate a variety of materials and products recreated from natural materials as well as leftovers and by-products. Each with their own new aesthetics.

Curator: Simone de Waart

Hungarian Designers in Search of Sustainability – Textile and Fabric Innovations

The aim of Hungary’s exhibition is to introduce high-tech clothing, intelligent clothing design, plant raw materials, textile innovations and trends shaping the future fashion industry. The range of innovative technologies is constantly increasing, and its field of application has apparently invaded the tools of designers in Hungary.

Curator: Fanny Fazekas

Material I

Estonian exposition brings together new materials developed by scientists, enterprises, designers and architects. The exhibition shows how the notion of resources and material development are going through changes due to environmental crisis. The authors explore across disciplines how in the future waste materials could be used, drawing knowledge from heritage technologies and nature, how to make use of biotechnology and what kind of high-tech materials are made by using nanoscale.

Living the modernist city-WWA*

In Warsaw, modernist buildings are a major source of inspiration for local designers and visual artists. Along with typography or neons, they are the material the city and its identity are made of. To explore this urban grammar, Kolektiv 318, a curators' group based at Le Corbusier's Housing Unit in Marseille, selected artworks by Edgar Bąk, Magdalena Łapińska, Mikołaj Długosz, Marta and Henryk Kwiatek, Izabela Sroka and Julia Cybis.

Edgar Bąk, graphic designer, will come to share his own vision of the modernist city and of its impact on contemporary design and creation.

The series “Illusions” is a group of images from a photo staging, where the artist has used common people to point out the artificial elements, which we are surrounded by. Recently known to public is the spray tanning that is applied on people, giving a fake tan, which in the mind of people represents the beauty of a person. Artist shows the truth behind the scenes, the artificial elements are being ridiculed as superficial images, which rather devaluates person’s individuality, than adding anything positive to it. Murka has tested the characteristic features of humans in her previous work, this time the analyze took her to a discovery, that most of the models were indeed pleased with the tan and wished to have the tan fully.

The author of the exhibition, Dan Mikkin, has from time to time been exposed to active Estonian designers. As a photographer capturing the same Estonian designers for years, he is trying to catch them unique manners and small details. No one needs to pose for a portrait - photos bring out the people behind the names. The exhibitions aim is to popularize Estonian design, which has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, but the designers behind the objects are usually unknown (except a few brand-name carriers). The portraits help to tell the story, what the products are designed for and connect them with real makers. It also helps to value design and demarginalize it in a wider audience. Dan Mikkin is a service design focused multi-designer and a co-founder of international service design and branding company Brand Manual.

Collecting waste material and old furniture (window frames, wood from the floors and walls etc) could be considered a design's equivalent to finding footage. It shows the identity of a city, a group of people, a community. With these local resources, Rikkert Paauw (NL) will compose a spatial intervention for the duration of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2019 and Tallinn Design Night Festival to show what was already there. He will concentrate on the area in and near Noblessner in the northern part of Tallinn.

Workshop/Talk: Living the Modernist City - WWA*

17.09.
12- 14

@ Noblessneri valukoda, Peetri 10, 10411 Tallinn, Estonia

The workshop will be held as part of the exhibition "Living
the Modernist City - WWA", curated by Kolektiv, a gallery and group of curators devoted to Modernism, established at Le Corbusier's Housing Unit in Marseille. This event will launch a series of events around the same theme, bringing together designers, graphic designers, architects, photographs, visual artists and scholars from different Central and Eastern European countries, to take place in 2019-2022.
On the 17th afternoon, we will first introduce the work of our Kolektiv, largely devoted to Central and Eastern European design scenes in relation to 20th century architecture, and how the project Living the Modernist City emerged. Following this introduction, our guest speaker will be Edgar Bąk, a major graphic designer in Poland, who left his print on a number of venues of Warsaw contemporary cultural scene, and witnessed the massive changes experienced by the polish metropolis since the late 1990s. He will share his own vision of the polish modernist city and of its considerable visual impact on contemporary design and creation. In relation to the festival's core theme, we will explore the following questions with the audience:

How signs can shape a city and ultimately be one of the materials a city is made of?
What is the experience of Warsaw and other modernist Eastern European cities to that regard?
How specific landmarks such as wall paintings, neons or key public buildings do contribute to create a sense of belonging that is specific to cities or districts built after 1950?

These themes could interestingly resonate also in the Baltics, where modernist landscape from the 1960-80s, although much present, is not fully perceived as autochthonous urban fabrics, but as the footprint of the former USSR rule. Attendance and participation is opened to anyone interested in (or inspired by) modernist aesthetics.

Workshop: learn to brew your own Kombucha drink

18.09. 15.30 - 17.00

@ Noblessneri Valukoda, Lessneri saal (Peetri 10, 10411 Tallinn, Estonia)

Learn how to ferment and brew kombucha beverage. You will also take away your very own SCOBY(symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) to start brewing the drink at home. Kombucha is raw fermented tea that boosts the body´s immune system and maintains a healthy gut with a variety of beneficial acids. The sweet sugary black tea is fermented by bacteria and yeast combination, known as SCOBY. The ingredients left to ferment in a warm environment for a period of time result in a delicious, refreshing and nutrient dense drink. The SCOBY itself, once grown thick, can be developed into a novel bio-material. Riina will teach step by step how to start fermenting your own kombucha and show what can be done with the leftover SCOBY. Riina has conducted an extensive material research at Green Lab in London, exploring the possibilities of the alternative material. She will present her research samples to offer food for thought and inspiration. The workshop runs 1.5 h, including the time for questions and answers.

@ Noblessner Valukoda fuajee

The author of the exhibition, Dan Mikkin, has from time to time been exposed to active Estonian designers. As a photographer capturing the same Estonian designers for years, he is trying to catch them unique manners and small details. No one needs to pose for a portrait - photos bring out the people behind the names. The exhibitions aim is to popularize Estonian design, which has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, but the designers behind the objects are usually unknown (except a few brand-name carriers). The portraits help to tell the story, what the products are designed for and connect them with real makers. It also helps to value design and demarginalize it in a wider audience. Dan Mikkin is a service design focused multi-designer and a co-founder of international service design and branding company Brand Manual.

Collecting waste material and old furniture (window frames, wood from the floors and walls etc) could be considered a design's equivalent to finding footage. It shows the identity of a city, a group of people, a community. With these local resources, Rikkert Paauw (NL) will compose a spatial intervention for the duration of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2019 and Tallinn Design Night Festival to show what was already there. He will concentrate on the area in and near Noblessner in the northern part of Tallinn.

International exhibition “Future Materials”

showcases new materials created by designers of Holland, Hungary and Estonia.

Materials’ Future Life

Dutch designers, artists, scientists and manufacturers took the subject as a challenge and demonstrate a variety of materials and products recreated from natural materials as well as leftovers and by-products. Each with their own new aesthetics.

Curator: Simone de Waart

Hungarian Designers in Search of Sustainability – Textile and Fabric Innovations

The aim of Hungary’s exhibition is to introduce high-tech clothing, intelligent clothing design, plant raw materials, textile innovations and trends shaping the future fashion industry. The range of innovative technologies is constantly increasing, and its field of application has apparently invaded the tools of designers in Hungary.

Curator: Fanny Fazekas

Material I

Estonian exposition brings together new materials developed by scientists, enterprises, designers and architects. The exhibition shows how the notion of resources and material development are going through changes due to environmental crisis. The authors explore across disciplines how in the future waste materials could be used, drawing knowledge from heritage technologies and nature, how to make use of biotechnology and what kind of high-tech materials are made by using nanoscale.

CONFERENCE "Future Materials"

19.09.
10–16

@ Noblessneri Valukoda, Peetri 10, 10411 Tallinn, Estonia
(Lessneri saal)

International Conference "Future Materials"

presents talks about how science, design, art and production are intermingled in today’s life. To maintain sustainable environment on the planet, society needs to rethink and revaluate the qualities of materials and their impact on the life around us. So research and development of new materials as well as recycling and processing of existing ones hold great importance. Conference presents innovative design experts with long-term practical experience from Holland, Great Britain and Estonia. Simone de Waart, Zoe Powell, Pirjo Kääriäinen, Riina Õun and Kärt Ojavee introduce methods of developing new bio-based materials like mushrooms and alga, as well as designing new products, whereas Reet Aus introduces in addition to the method of upcycling the products made of yarn from old clothes.

Speakers:

Simone de Waart has a background in industrial design and design management. She graduated as materials designer at Design Academy in the Netherlands. In 2002 she initiated the company Material Sense, where she is responsible as materials experts and creative director. In 2005 followed by Sister Foundation Material Sense LAB. Material Sense functions as a catalyst to connect design, research, education and industry and inspire materials innovation. She advocates the selection of materials and their performances as a starting point in the design process to create value for new applications within a sustainable society. Education is one of her tasks she finds of great importance in the emerging field of materials in design.

Riina Õun is a leather accessories designer and maker, the head of Riina O brand specializing in hand-crafted luxury leather gloves made to measure. Curiosity towards the new materials brought Riina to the Material Futures course in Central Saint Martins. Since early 2019 Riina has been the material researcher in residence at the Green Lab in London.

Reet Aus is a PhD-qualified fashion designer and environmental activist, a human rebel who founded REET AUS COLLECTION® and THE UPSHIRT®. She is a pioneer in the field of industrial upcycling for fashion, and has developed the UPMADE® certification in order to pass on her knowledge to brands and factories.

Zoë Powell is a Researcher and Workshop Facilitator of Textiles and Biomaterials. Since 2008, she has been working on commissions and projects internationally for a variety of industries including art, fashion and interiors. The focus of her work is centred around creatively using resources, circular design strategies and production techniques both digital & hand crafted.

Pirjo Kääriäinen is a design professional and facilitator, working as a Professor of Practice in the intersection of design and material sciences. She has been developing interdisciplinary CHEMARTS collaboration between chemical engineering and design at the Aalto University since 2011, focusing especially on research and design of bio-based materials.

Bastian Beyer is a London-based Architect and Researcher. His work investigates fibre-based material systems, their structure and manufacture, in the context of architecture and design. He studied architecture in Munich (University of Applied Sciences) and Berlin (Universität der Künste). As part of the ArcInTex Marie Curie Research Fellowship, he recently finished his PhD at the Royal College of Art in London. In his research, he investigated the structural and reactive properties of biofilms and bio-derived materials on fibre-based substrates. The focus of his interdisciplinary work is to localise synergies between research and practice and to use this potential for new materials and design strategies.

Material I compiled by Annika Kaldoja, Kärt Ojavee, and Marie Vinter form the studio Aine. Joint creative research work focuses on environmentally sensitive materials, materials awareness and cross-sectoral networking. The studio is a further development of a jointly developed subject focused on bio-based materials at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

One day prior to the conference there will be held 2 workshops on materials, hosted by the speakers.

1) Workshop: Future biomaterials

Living the modernist city-WWA*

In Warsaw, modernist buildings are a major source of inspiration for local designers and visual artists. Along with typography or neons, they are the material the city and its identity are made of. To explore this urban grammar, Kolektiv 318, a curators' group based at Le Corbusier's Housing Unit in Marseille, selected artworks by Edgar Bąk, Magdalena Łapińska, Mikołaj Długosz, Marta and Henryk Kwiatek, Izabela Sroka and Julia Cybis.

Edgar Bąk, graphic designer, will come to share his own vision of the modernist city and of its impact on contemporary design and creation.

The series “Illusions” is a group of images from a photo staging, where the artist has used common people to point out the artificial elements, which we are surrounded by. Recently known to public is the spray tanning that is applied on people, giving a fake tan, which in the mind of people represents the beauty of a person. Artist shows the truth behind the scenes, the artificial elements are being ridiculed as superficial images, which rather devaluates person’s individuality, than adding anything positive to it. Murka has tested the characteristic features of humans in her previous work, this time the analyze took her to a discovery, that most of the models were indeed pleased with the tan and wished to have the tan fully.

KUUD / MOONS

Kuu (Eng: Moon) bears a symbolic meaning for a lighting designer as a reflector of the largest source of light. Design of a lighting fixture is also designing a reflector or diffuser for a light source. The exhibition gathers the recent lighting designs of eight well-known Finnish and Estonian designers. The idea originates from 2017 when the curator of the exhibition Tõnis Vellamaa saw the new prototypes of the masters Taevo Gans, Simo Heikkilä and Mait Summatavet. Being different from each ohter, they are tied into similar modernist clean and honest approach both in for and material. Current exhibition is complemented with the works of well-known designers Yrjö Kukkapuro, Yrjö Wiherheimo, Hannu Kähönen, Jouko Järvisalo and Jüri Kermik. The desginers have known each other for a long time as colleagues and friends. Many of them best known as furniture designers, some have displayed their works together but as such a team and with lightings they are exhibiting for the first time arriving to Tallinn straight from the Habitare fair in Helisinki.

@ Noblessner Valukoda fuajee

The author of the exhibition, Dan Mikkin, has from time to time been exposed to active Estonian designers. As a photographer capturing the same Estonian designers for years, he is trying to catch them unique manners and small details. No one needs to pose for a portrait - photos bring out the people behind the names. The exhibitions aim is to popularize Estonian design, which has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, but the designers behind the objects are usually unknown (except a few brand-name carriers). The portraits help to tell the story, what the products are designed for and connect them with real makers. It also helps to value design and demarginalize it in a wider audience. Dan Mikkin is a service design focused multi-designer and a co-founder of international service design and branding company Brand Manual.

Collecting waste material and old furniture (window frames, wood from the floors and walls etc) could be considered a design's equivalent to finding footage. It shows the identity of a city, a group of people, a community. With these local resources, Rikkert Paauw (NL) will compose a spatial intervention for the duration of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2019 and Tallinn Design Night Festival to show what was already there. He will concentrate on the area in and near Noblessner in the northern part of Tallinn.

showcases new materials created by designers of Holland, Hungary and Estonia.

Materials’ Future Life

Dutch designers, artists, scientists and manufacturers took the subject as a challenge and demonstrate a variety of materials and products recreated from natural materials as well as leftovers and by-products. Each with their own new aesthetics.

Curator: Simone de Waart

Hungarian Designers in Search of Sustainability – Textile and Fabric Innovations

The aim of Hungary’s exhibition is to introduce high-tech clothing, intelligent clothing design, plant raw materials, textile innovations and trends shaping the future fashion industry. The range of innovative technologies is constantly increasing, and its field of application has apparently invaded the tools of designers in Hungary.

Curator: Fanny Fazekas

Material I

Estonian exposition brings together new materials developed by scientists, enterprises, designers and architects. The exhibition shows how the notion of resources and material development are going through changes due to environmental crisis. The authors explore across disciplines how in the future waste materials could be used, drawing knowledge from heritage technologies and nature, how to make use of biotechnology and what kind of high-tech materials are made by using nanoscale.

Living the modernist city-WWA*

In Warsaw, modernist buildings are a major source of inspiration for local designers and visual artists. Along with typography or neons, they are the material the city and its identity are made of. To explore this urban grammar, Kolektiv 318, a curators' group based at Le Corbusier's Housing Unit in Marseille, selected artworks by Edgar Bąk, Magdalena Łapińska, Mikołaj Długosz, Marta and Henryk Kwiatek, Izabela Sroka and Julia Cybis.

Edgar Bąk, graphic designer, will come to share his own vision of the modernist city and of its impact on contemporary design and creation.

Workshop/talk takes place on 17.09, 12.00 at Noblessneri Valukoda.

KUUD / MOONS

Kuu (Eng: Moon) bears a symbolic meaning for a lighting designer as a reflector of the largest source of light. Design of a lighting fixture is also designing a reflector or diffuser for a light source. The exhibition gathers the recent lighting designs of eight well-known Finnish and Estonian designers. The idea originates from 2017 when the curator of the exhibition Tõnis Vellamaa saw the new prototypes of the masters Taevo Gans, Simo Heikkilä and Mait Summatavet. Being different from each ohter, they are tied into similar modernist clean and honest approach both in for and material. Current exhibition is complemented with the works of well-known designers Yrjö Kukkapuro, Yrjö Wiherheimo, Hannu Kähönen, Jouko Järvisalo and Jüri Kermik. The desginers have known each other for a long time as colleagues and friends. Many of them best known as furniture designers, some have displayed their works together but as such a team and with lightings they are exhibiting for the first time arriving to Tallinn straight from the Habitare fair in Helisinki.

@ ArtDepoo Galerii, Jahu 12, Tallinn

The series “Illusions” is a group of images from a photo staging, where the artist has used common people to point out the artificial elements, which we are surrounded by. Recently known to public is the spray tanning that is applied on people, giving a fake tan, which in the mind of people represents the beauty of a person. Artist shows the truth behind the scenes, the artificial elements are being ridiculed as superficial images, which rather devaluates person’s individuality, than adding anything positive to it. Murka has tested the characteristic features of humans in her previous work, this time the analyze took her to a discovery, that most of the models were indeed pleased with the tan and wished to have the tan fully.
