Although Venlet is generally regarded as the inventor of a ’rounded’, rather ‘organic’ and ‘human’ minimalism, he does not confine himself to a single style as a designer and interior architect. A comprehensive overview of a 20-year career, which not only revolutionised the world of office, outdoor and residential furniture (with award-winning creations such as the ‘Easy Rider’ and the ‘Viteo’ shower), but also introduced a totally new concept of interior architecture, in which objects and users are no longer dominated by the space, but vice versa.
HOME MADE. Create, Produce, Live
€29.95What do we make at home?
At a time when working from home has almost become the norm, Home Made – Create, Produce, Live looks at how the professional and the private meet in the heart of the home. Bringing work back into the home is not a trivial matter: environmental issues, communal living, new urbanity and relocated production are all part of the challenge.
This book brings together a history of work that illuminates the present and contemporary designers whose projects reflect on a possible home for tomorrow. While some have utopian and poetic ideas about working from home, others take a more pragmatic approach. But all of them bring us back to questions that are as simple as they are dizzying: what is living? what is working? which are approached in this book from the perspective of a joyful creativity.
