Highly Advanced Materials for a Circular and Digital World

Posted on November 17, 2022November 17, 2022 by Digital One

Europe is in a profound transformation process. Within the next decade, the foundations for the change from a linear economic structure towards a circular economy based on renewable energies will be created.

Material innovations play an important role in the transformation of the technical supply industry. On the one hand, they form the basis for the decarbonization of production and transport, and on the other hand, their use is crucial for the development of circular business models.

On behalf of the Swedish trade fair company ELMIA, Haute Innovation is on the occasion of the Subcontractor from 15.-17. November 2022 in Jönköping commissioned to implement a special area on the latest material innovations. The highlights include a 3D printed sports boat made from recycled plastics, a bellows rail brake being developed at ETH Zurich for the Hyperloop, a paper battery as a biodegradable energy store, and a saw blade made from a vibroacoustic metamaterial to reduce noise and vibration.

Dutch founders show 10000M2 of design to the world

Beyond Space and Organisation in Design are excited to announce the launch of a new exhibition showcasing the forefront of design during Milan Design Week June 7-12: the Certosa Initiative. The Certosa Initiative will bring together the freshest emerging talents and the most respected global brands in a 10.000m2 post-industrial playground in the up-and-coming Certosa District with a simple brief: claim your stake and make!

The Certosa District will play host to the newcomer event. In the northwest corner of the city of Milan, this neighbourhood is currently in the midst of a vibrant revival and a multi-dimensional regeneration project led by Italian real estate development company RealStep and global real estate firm Jamestown. After years of disuse, the once thriving industrial hub is now re-emerging as a centre of culture and innovation thanks to neighborhood-wide event programming that has recently seen the success of Milano Graphic Festival and will include further important events such as the Certosa Initiative. Fast-growing creative industries and innovation economy are contributing to the district’s revitalization and rise.

Press release: DEPARTURES | Jordan

Posted on April 15, 2022April 15, 2022 by Digital One

Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah and the co-founder of Jordan Design Week launches new Jordanian collection in collaboration with digital gallery Adorno

ADORNO is pleased to present “Departures”, a Jordanian collection created in collaboration with the Office of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, the patron and supporter of Amman Design Week. Curated by independent curator and co-founder of Amman Design Week, Rana Beiruti, this collection is presented amongst the rich, pink sands and cliffs of Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert and ruminates on the intersection between the traditional and contemporary in collectible design. As described by Beiruti, it visualises “a voyage into futuristic forms; a dream of the future that is rooted in the earth”.

In wood, stone, ceramic, metal, and wool, traditional craft knowledge are brought to the foreground, highlighting the continued ability and imagination of contemporary designers to manipulate earthly materials to create pieces that resonate with the Jordanian design scene today.

Featuring work by Ahmad Jarrar, Andre Mcheileh, Far Flung, in doi, Ishraq Zraikat, kutleh, Opus Design Collective, SNC design studio, suli, subsidiary of MORPH X DESIGN STUDIO, and Twelve Degrees.
