三位雄心勃勃的建筑师,他们在产品设计上发挥了自己的才能
从本质上讲,建筑师是注重细节的人。他们被教导要考虑设计的每一个细节,在他们做出的每个决定中找到目的,并在他们创建的整个环境中实现无缝功能。正如 Mies van der Rohe 半个多世纪前所说的那样,“上帝在细节中”,这句格言在今天仍然适用。当代建筑师对建筑的每一平方米进行设计、建模和渲染,深入了解每一层功能和美学,确保形状、形式和结构相得益彰。
建筑师和建筑之间的关系深深地交织在一起。通常,一个在设计和配置上反映另一个。设计师的价值观和信念经常在结构的细微差别中变得明显,在他们的作品中表现为一种可识别的风格。在具有强烈个性的建筑中,填充空间可能具有挑战性,并且可能需要独特的产品来保持设计的独特性。多年来,为了支持他们的愿景,许多建筑师已经将双手转向产品设计的实践;在这样做的过程中,他们创造了一些世界上最具标志性和广为人知的家具作品。以下是我们的最爱。
丽娜·博·巴迪
Lina Bo Bardi 是一位出生于意大利的设计师,以改变她收养的故乡巴西的景观而闻名。她创新和大胆的建筑融合了现代主义和民粹主义,使她能够创造出该国一些最知名的建筑。在她的时代之前,Bo Bardi 的作品以可持续和保护自然的设计理念为中心。
她的圣保罗艺术博物馆受到野兽派美学的影响。一座混凝土和玻璃块由红色的“腿”支撑,博物馆悬挂在一个大型的、有遮蔽的公共广场之上,反映了 Bo Bardi 将人类需求置于其设计中心的愿望。在内部,她发明了玻璃展示架,让游客可以从各个角度观看艺术品。
1941 年,她被任命为 Quaderni di Domus 的编辑,这让她接触到了工业设计和工艺的复杂性。在此期间,她发展了她的家具设计实践。Tres Pés 扶手椅被认为是最早通过家具对巴西文化的诠释之一。使用挂在管状金属框架之间的织物和皮革将她的现代主义理想与巴西土著人民的传统相结合。
菲利普·斯塔克
作为全球超级巨星和 10,000 多种产品的创造者,迄今为止,出生于法国的 Philippe Starck 的设计组合是卓越的。作为航空工程师 Starck 的孩子,他的血管里流淌着创新。他对道德、社会意识和负责任的设计的决心在他的所有作品中都很明显,这些作品努力以创造性和强大的方式寻找世界问题的解决方案。
作为一名建筑师,菲利普·斯塔克 (Philippe Starck) 在他的第一个建筑壮举中突出了他的独创性。Nani Nani 是 1989 年引人注目的独特例子。他对社会和经济革命的决心促使他设计了各种重要的社区空间,并让他有机会定义一些世界上最知名的酒店。Starck 的投资组合包括 The Royalton Hotel、The Paramount、The Delano、The Hudson Hotel、The Mondrian Hotel、The Sanderson、SLS 物业等等。
Starck 改变了酒店业,他的愿景是为空间注入新的社会价值,激发和吸引大众。为了完成他对和谐和有意识的设计的愿景,斯塔克亲自在他的空间内设计了许多产品。他对它们的目的和实用性的关注常常使他涉足许多行业。他的许多作品现在都成为象征幽默和雄心的文化标志。
帕特里夏·乌尔奇奥拉
Patricia Urquiola 在 Achille Castiglioni 手下接受过正式的建筑师培训,是一位以人为本的设计师。她的每个项目都以最终用户处于她决策的最前沿开始,并不知疲倦地融合人文、技术和社会设计方法,努力寻找解决方案。她对技术、经济、政治、社会正义和可持续发展的丰富知识和好奇心影响了她的所有工作。她的作品远非神秘莫测,而是与时代相关且与时俱进。
在她对融合功能和美学的追求中,Urquiola 创造了美丽的环境,装饰着美丽的物体。从建筑师到工业设计师的无缝过渡是她的创意抱负成功的关键。她的产品设计方法涵盖过去、现在和未来,在每一个可能的转折点上创造工艺和工业设计之间的联系。Urquiola 和她的团队尽可能地采用和接受新技术,但始终致力于尊重过去的传统做法和形式,她的产品充满了对其起源的有意义的参考。她的系列定期重新设计和更新,以满足当代标准;无论是形状还是完成,这些作品都将与它们所服务的社会一起发展。

By nature, architects are detail-driven individuals. They are taught to consider every minute aspect of a design, to find purpose in each decision they make and to implement seamless function throughout the environments they create. As Mies van der Rohe put it over half a century ago, “God is in the details,” and this adage remains relevant in the present day. Contemporary architects design, model and render every square meter of a building, thoroughly understanding each layer of function and aesthetic, ensuring shape, form and structure complement each other harmoniously.
The relationship between architect and building is deeply entwined. Often, one reflects the other in design and disposition. The values and convictions of the designer regularly become apparent in the nuances of the structure, expressed as a recognizable style across their oeuvre. In buildings with a strong sense of individual character, it can be challenging to populate the space and may it require unique products to retain the design’s distinctiveness. To support their vision, many architects have turned their hands to the practice of product design over the years; in doing so, they have created some of the most iconic and well-recognized furniture pieces in the world. The following are few of our favorites.
Lina Bo Bardi
Lina Bo Bardi was an Italian-born designer best known for transforming the landscape of her adopted homeland Brazil. Her innovative and daring buildings merged modernism with populism, allowing her to create some of the most recognized buildings in the country. Ahead of her time, Bo Bardi’s work centered around a design philosophy of sustainably and preservation of nature.
Her Museu de Arte de São Paulo was influenced by brutalist aesthetics. A concrete and glass block supported by imposing red “legs,” the museum is suspended above a large, sheltered public piazza, reflecting Bo Bardi’s desire to place human needs at the center of her designs. On the interior, she invented glass display easels, allowing visitors to view the artworks from all sides.
In 1941 she was appointed editor of Quaderni di Domus which exposed her to the intricacies of industrial design and craftsmanship. During this time, she developed her furniture design practice. The Tres Pés Armchair is considered to be one of the first interpretations of Brazilian culture through furniture. The use of fabric and leather hung between the tubular metal framework combines her modernist ideal with the traditions of Brazil’s indigenous people.
Philippe Starck
A global superstar and creator of over 10,000 products, to date, French-born Philippe Starck’s portfolio of design is transcendent. The child of an aeronautical engineer Starck has innovation running through his veins. His determination for ethical, socially conscious and responsible design is evident in all his works, which strive to find solutions to the problems of the world in creative and powerful ways.
An architect by trade, Philippe Starck highlighted his originality in his first architectural feats. Nani Nani was an example of striking uniqueness in 1989. His resolve for social and economic revolution pushed him to design a variety of important community spaces and gave him the opportunity to define some of the most recognized hotels in the world. Starck’s portfolio consists of The Royalton Hotel, The Paramount, The Delano, The Hudson Hotel, The Mondrian Hotel, The Sanderson, SLS properties and many more.
Starck changed the hotel industry with his vision of infusing spaces with new social values that inspire and engage the masses. To complete his vision for harmonious and conscious design, Starck has taken it upon himself to design many of the products within his spaces himself. His focus on their purpose and usefulness often leads him across many industries. Many of his pieces are now cultural icons that symbolize both humor and ambition.
Patricia Urquiola
Formally trained as an architect under Achille Castiglioni, Patricia Urquiola is a human-centric designer. She starts each of her projects with the end-user at the forefront of her decision-making and works tirelessly to merge humanistic, technological and social design approaches in an effort to find solutions. Her vast knowledge and curiosity surrounding technology, economics, politics, social justice and sustainability inform all of her work. Far from being enigmatic, her work is relatable and in tune with its time.
In her quest to merge function and aesthetics, Urquiola has created beautiful environments adorned with beautiful objects. Seamlessly transitioning from architect to industrial designer is the key to the success of her creative aspirations. Her approach to product design encompasses past, present and future, creating links between craftsmanship and industrial design at every possible turn. Urquiola and her team adopt and embrace new technologies wherever they can, yet always aim to respect the traditional practices and forms of the past, her products are imbued with meaningful references to their origins. Her collections are regularly reworked and updated to meet contemporary standards; be it shape or finish, the pieces will develop alongside the society they serve.
