{"title":"Milan Design Week 2018 | Unsighted","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Milan Design Week 2018, in the heart of 5vie, the unique historical central neighbourhood of Milan, Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte proposed a survey of international contemporary designers featuring new collectible design works inside a remarkable milanese palazzo. Eight international designers were asked to produce a work while unaware of the context. The brief was maybe an anti-brief, asking to make something that doesn’t have to be anything. Without standard parameters, the project aims to emancipate the designer from notions of style, spatial specifications and project demands. The focus is on creating objects that are active and autonomous agents in their environment, not complementing a space, but impacting it in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"oa84-2","title":"OA84.2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e84.2 Copper Mesh Glass Vase is created by suspending a bubble of coloured glass within a fine copper mesh basket that is then plunged into hot clear glass. Air is blown into the matrix to gently push the white glass through the mesh, creating a delicate pillowed form that rests inside the thick outer layer of clear glass. Undulations in the exterior shape are a natural consequence of the fabrication process and differ in each iteration of the procedure. The aperture is flared open and finished, allowing the piece to function as a vase, and expressing the outline of the copper mesh along the perimeter that unique to each piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carwan gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48142815821982,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/9951\/1454\/files\/original.jpg_375123_2000x1500_64091487-13e1-47e4-ab08-8fec6dd99b2d.jpg?v=1786800619"},{"product_id":"unsighted-table-red","title":"Unsighted Table Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eJeonghwa Seo is a Korean designer whose practice is mostly based in furniture manufacture.
