Personal Editions, a large collection of large objects is what Marcel Wanders presented under his own name this year in Milan. All limited editions, all made by Wanders himself. “With the democratization of design now underway, the next logical step can only be work that holds a greater personal significance, both to Wanders himself and the audience alike.”. Says Wanders, “Where high art may have lost its meaning and purpose in our daily lives, becoming increasingly abstract and isolated in its own world, design can be the creative spirit that connects to people in an intensely personal way.”. The overall theme of the exhibit was a “dream garden”, a different and unexpected place; a crocheted topiary, which uses a combination of crocheted fibre and resin, giant lamps and silent bells, an ornate Chest of Boxes and handmade irregular delft earthenware. More after the jump.
