DIGITAL BY DESIGN The cutting edge of product design: more than one hundred ingenious examples of the newest materials and latest technologies
The convergence of interactive technologies with conventional
design spheres—furniture and lighting, interiors, product design—is one of the most exciting areas affecting consumer product development.
Going beyond “smart” or embedded domestic technologies,
these products offer new realms of customization and experience
for consumers increasingly looking for products that are more than
mere tools.
Imagine chairs that conform to one’s body, or a tablecloth whose
pattern changes according to the mood or occasion.There’s no longer
any need for hardwood floors or wallpaper: new textures and finishes
can be projected to create any conceivable ambience.
Here is a world of design in which the latest digital technologies
are ultimately placed in the hands of users, enriching lifestyles in new
and unanticipated ways.
Conny Freyer, Sebastien Noel, and Eva Rucki met at London’s
Royal College of Art and founded their multidisciplinary art and
design practice in 2003. They have created installations and products
for a broad range of international clients, including the Science
Museum and Royal Mail in the UK and the Wagner Society in
Germany. Paola Antonelli is Curator of the Department of
Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
