Description

Furniture generated by smart algorithms, the first fully functional 3-D printed steel bridge, and a 3-D printable chair that may be downloaded from the Internet these are but a couple of examples of the ingenious oeuvre of Dutch designer and inventor Joris Laarman (b. 1979), who works at the intersection of design, art and engineering. A part of the up to date high-profile Dutch design movement, Laarman quickly set himself except his peers with the Heat Wave Radiator, which erases the lines between the functional and the decorative. Quickly embracing digital technologies and applying them to the traditional field of design, Laarman has produced instant icons such as the ”Bone Chair” designs, which harnesses a pc algorithm to mimic bone growth for the form of the designs. He has also bridged the distance between digital technology and craftsmanship with his Makerchair, downloadable as an open-source design. Abolishing the distinctions between natural and manmade, Laarman s work opens a new avenue for the way forward for design.

In parallel with the touring exhibition, this handsome hardcover catalog with over 300 color illustrations goes far beyond the exhibition, revealing Laarman s process, his studio and a lot of designs in office, home and workshop settings. Flowing all the way through the book are informative project descriptions, a commentary from the LAB and assorted essays. The American museum tour includes the Cooper Hewitt, NY (2017), the High Museum, Atlanta, and MFA, Houston (2017 18).
