From 19 to Oct. 26 takes place at the Centro Cultural Recoleta the seventh edition of the show Design Connection, Cienporciento derived years diseno.Este admission is free and the proposal is a little more experimental, "almost an art exhibition" the identified a designer with whom I spoke yesterday.
In this context, the show this year included more strongly the profile of eco-design (which had begun to sketch in recent years) and has a section devoted to Remade: an Italian organization that advocates the design of materials recovered.
In this section there are interesting material from Portugal, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.Otro interesting aspect is that this space Remade has a small presentation made by the girls of the Low Footprint Study (formerly called "Mu") that reflects on the life cycle of the products.
It is curious that some years ago nobody talked about these issues and is now starting to see more. I suppose it is a reflection of the move is in the United States, but whatever the cause I see very positive.
According to the organizers, after the conclusion of the CC Recoleta, the sample still in a new shopping center called Norcent which opens in late October in Vicente Lopez, and is described as "the first lifestyle mall."
Among the exhibitors to highlight some of which I published at TreeHugger as Vacavaliente who has a new line of adorable little friends, pneumatic and their bags of rubber recovered, the waste products of the textile industry of tracks, and a chair he designed Patricio Lixklett with cueroflex (leather recovered) that I thought was super interesting (there is a picture in the extended). There were also some facilities lights Federico Lopez Picasso and other threads in the yard.
Unfortunately I can not publish more photos because I plan to make a note to TreeHugger and new policies of the site suggest that the content is more exclusive, but at the same time this is a good excuse to encourage them to be given a tour of the exhibition. The address of the CC is Recoleta Junin 1930 and the time the sample is 14 to 21.
