@IDS VANCOUVER. I am welcoming the change to more green, recycled thinking as the @Hushacoustics pavillion, @botanyabency, @greentheorydesign, @onceatreefurniture, etc. and loving the creative spirit of local designers like @workbenchdio, @dubhaindesign and @jay_miron, among many other great designs and artists! Very inspiring weekend!!!

...Happy holidays and a good start into 22!

What an amazing Journey: From the idea, to make a kinetic, expandable luminaire; through a lot of prototypes playing with arabesques and geometry; to the presentation at Studio North at the Interior Design Show Toronto and at Wanted design Manhattan/part of the NYC design week, as TRANSFORMA; winning the European product design award in Gold; finding the manufacturer BETACALCO; development and tooling for aluminum parts; to the launch of STARBURST!!!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED ON THIS JOURNEY! Special thanks to Betacalco and to IDS!! Thank you Shelley!!!

IDS - the online version gives you access, to me it feels more like a bunch of cold calls, and I miss the personal touch of a fair, but lets hope the new times also enable more digital, but real connections! - The event is also bravely live!

How has your artistic practice shifted in this time of social distancing and COVID-19 (surprises, possibilities or challenges)?  - For me (after a short time of frustration) it has also been the reminder of the change we can make in the world, if we just commit to it: shutting down complete industries and reducing emmissions/ seeing what is actually essential/ things we took for granted/... actually it is a time of great changes and new possibilities, to be able to survive the 21 century. The "good old days"-boat is sinking, and we have work to do!
