Meanwhile I am lecturing today at the imm Cologne and won’t visit the Maison&Objet this year, I still wanted to give you an update of the Designer Of The Year 2018 who has been chosen by the fair.
You might know Danish designer Cecilie Manz if you have been looking for a stylish bluetooth speaker lately, her A1 or P2 (below) designs for Bang&Olufsen are outstanding. She belongs to a generation mastering a warm minimalism with a serene beauty reflected in her designs.
Maison&Objet is honoring the designer due to her versatility and color approach through carefully chosen color palettes that are defined at the first stage of her design processes as a way to define the product’s identity.
P2 speaker for Bang&Olufsen
Series of furniture (Chair, bench, table) in solid Japanese beech that can come with or without upholstery, lacquered or in natural finish for Nissin Mokkou Japan
Tablecloths in damask woven cotton Georg Jensen Damask
Aeroplane veneer, canvas tape and strap.
The exhibition will feature some of her earlier products, new designs, displayed in a warm and homey atmosphere, and the latest results of her work at the show starting on January, 19 (Hall 7).
