One of my favorite pieces in the D3 Design Talents exhibition at IMM Cologne was Dear Disaster by Jenny Ekdahl . Dear Disaster was Jenny’s graduation project from the Lund School of Industrial Design in Sweden. Inspired by recent global events, she says: “While natural disasters are perceived as terrible occurrences, natural forces can also be viewed as awe-inspiring and magnificent.” The aim of the project was to facilitate a process of recovery after natural disasters, to help the user regain their trust in nature

One of the absolute highlights of imm cologne was D3 Design Talents , a selection of award-winning products from up-and-coming designers. The tenth D3 contest saw 671 submissions from students and recent graduates from all over the world. Just 21 products from 27 designers were selected. And from those 21, these were my favorites… This folding screen entitled “And A And Be And Not” by Berlin-based designer Camilla Richter is made from different color transparent sections, which change color according to the light and where you’re standing when you look at it. The shapes and colors created by the piece itself and by the shadows and reflections are mesmerising.

No Wookiees were harmed in the making of this lamp. Great things to People (gt2P) launched their Gudpaka Lamp this year at imm cologne . Made of alpaca hair woven onto alpaca felt and plywood, the lamp is a play of opposites: hard and soft, vegetable and animal, smooth and flat, digital and traditional manufacturing, and even North and South (in the Chilean materials used).
