from DesignMarketo —with love

DesignMarketo is curating events, commissioning designers and selling exciting objects with stories to tell.

Designmarketo.com

Our aim is to provide an economic stronghold for designers to develop their practice and self production.
Our recent events include a lemonade bar in Bulgaria, a dinner at the Barbican Art Centre in London or a friendly cafe in the Brompton Design District (London Design Festival 2011); for each of our events we setup a brief and commission designers to produce limited edition, to go for sale either during the event in the popup shop or, later, online. The online shop also features a selection of objects we came across, meeting with designers in their studio.

We love exploring the everyday life of objects, experimenting with food and products, design and internet... such a great list to provide us and our friends with a lot of fun!


Welcome!
idreamcreateandadmire:  Great ideas don’t appear often and when they do, they certainly make the difference! This is the case of Tino Seubert (29.12.1986) a talented young designer from Germany that, having Italy as his base, is inspired by great historical moments for his creations. All started with his Forming History project that consists of selecting a number of significant moments in history, all of which involved furniture, and using each of them to develop new forms for furniture pieces. Tino used as his reference photographic records of those specific events that include, amongst others, the Nuremberg trials of 1945/46 or the Liu Xiaobo Nobel Peace Prize 2010 award. The furniture that came out of this project holds something of the historical importance of these moment that are, according to Tino, registered as abstract shadows, deformations or traces on the newly designed objects. In this way history functions as the main catalyst that is actually “Forming Furniture”.
