МакедонскиSacha Lannoye - Contemporary Obsession
Public Room – Promo CENTER
Sacha Lannoye occupies herself with these subjective needs of people. Her products represent her way of thinking, which is a response to human behaviour. She strives to combine content, function and esthetics in a way that they reinforce each other.
By putting recognizable ingredients in a new context, products pass out a message and show people her astonished, ironic view of the world. Therefore they become powerful tools, reaching beyond material matter. Sacha Lannoye CV, www.sachalannoye.nl
The following design works are going to be exhibited in Promo Center Public Room in Skopje from 28th April till 15 June 2009:
HUMAN TOUCH
 |
|
There are lots of vases on the market/ sold/ out there with an centric, industrial look or an asymmetric, figurative vases.
Rarely you will see a vase which combines both qualities.
That's why I designed Human Touch.
Human Touch is basically a centric industrial shape, meanwhile, at one side of the vase, the neck of the vase gradually changes into a realistic woman's neck.
SIZE 34
 |
|
"Size 34" is a persiflage on the labels on the back of your jeans. You simply put it over your belt. Now it becomes a jewel which implies that you have the perfect modeling size, namely "Size 34" "Size 34" criticizes the pressure society puts on woman towards how they look. Lots and lots of woman get obsessed, even frustrated by wanting to look skinny. Who-ever buys "Size 34" immediately measures up to this ridicules, impossible ideal. This way everybody's perfect.
WORKAHOLIC
 |
|
"Workaholic" is a necklace that mocks with people who are obsessed with their work. It's a customized, golden business card, which you can wear as jewellery. This thick golden plate also functions as a small carrying case for your own business cards.
BLABLABLA
 |
|
"Blablabla" is persiflage on the well-known golden necklaces of someone’s name. "Blablabla" anticipates on the superficial side of communication between people. For those who wear it, as well as for the viewers "Blablabla" works confronting and shows the relativism of things.
YADAYADAYADA
 |
|
"YadaYadaYada” is a persiflage on the well-known golden necklace of someone's name and anticipates on the superficial communication between people. The word “YadaYadaYada” is used when you want to skip a boring part of your story. This necklace mocks with the user.
MAX 20 KG
 |
|
"Max 20 kg" makes people think about the absurdity to strive for the perfect body. But what do we perceive as "the perfect body"? No healthy woman, old enough to walk on high heels, can measure up to this required weight limit. It indicates that nobody’s fits this propagandistic ideology of the body.
RED ROSE
 |
|
Many people are preoccupied with their work. With "Red Rose" you tread every day as a potential blind date.
BROOCH
 |
|
People are constantly looking for renewal. At the same time we want recognition to see the obvious. "Brooch" is a reaction on these conservative box thinking” people.
CORSAGE
 |
|
People are constantly looking for renewal. At the same time we want recognition to see the obvious. "Corsage" is a reaction on these conservative ” box thinking” people.
GUCCI
 |
|
What's more decadent or insane than design-sanitary towels?
SKINNY BONE
 |
|
Many people are obsessed by being skinny. When you wear skinny bone, you always look skinny. It is a belt in which the shape of hipbones are pressed into the leather. This way anybody is perfect.
SECOND SKIN
 |
|
Are you also ready for new skin? FaceLift, chemical peels, laser treatment, to maintain the young look of your skin. With Second Skin you immediately and without any pain, gain a young, smooth skin to show off with. Also very efficient if you want to have a different skin color.
SOLID TOOLS /SLOW FOOD
 |
|
"Slow Food" is cutlery designed to make a statement against the "fast-food-culture" In contrary to the lightweight plastic cutlery, produced for one time use, "Slow Food" contributes to put focus on the primary essence of eating again. It's about enjoying dinner, as a moment to yourself and your family and reflect your day. The Solid, looks and the massive weight of "Slow Food" which you become aware of while eating, brings back the primal instinct, to treat food witch the respect it deserves.
BMBM
 |
|
Buy More Be More implies / gives the impression that you shopped till you dropped. Meanwhile you're actually showing of with your full wallet and an empty bag, made out of several shopping bags.
