与包括La Cividina、Cappellini、DePadova和宜家在内的国际品牌合作,瑞典设计工作室“我们与爱合作”将自己描述为“设计主导的投资者”。这个由八人组成的集体自2005年开始以来,更多地将他们的设计视为关于实验、挑战和学习曲线的旅行故事。他们的十年设计故事最近以斯德哥尔摩设计周期间在该国皇家美术学院Konstakademien举办的展览的形式被讲述。

该剧名为“I-X”,深入探讨了工作室“设计真正的改变”的伦理精神;探索了跨越超大“胡德”照明(在公共空间创建一个私人区域)的各种案例研究,以及他们与瑞典材料特鲁利特(一种用来制作吸音声学瓷砖的木制羊毛,名为“Baux”)的合作。所有这些作品都是作为档案展示在学院的墙上,展示了每个设计是如何解决后勤问题的。

例如,他们为宜家(宜家)设计的“雅宁格”椅子-设计出了耐久的价格-让工作室进行了为期两年的调查,研究如何用先进的材料和动态的造型(在宜家的价格点)创造家具。他们所有设计试验的最终产品-包括Halle最新的高沙发和椅子系列-以及2012年佩特鲁斯·棕榈岛(Petrus Palmér)和奥拉·E·贝内斯特(Ola E Bernest L)的一套手表-在整个展览中展出。

工作室联合创始人约翰·勒夫格伦(John Lfgren)在谈到他们长达十年的革命时解释说,整个设计行业已经成熟。“一种新的、更强的战略意识正在盛行-就好像我们刚开始的时候,那些”又一个产品“的设计师们终于长大了。”

与许多其他回顾不同的是,安装并不仅仅是出于自我评价,而是为了解决工作室旅途中出现的问题。“这次展览,”洛夫格伦总结道,“是关于我们学到的课程。”团队还在庆祝他们的设计十年,发布了一本随附的关于他们成就的书,可供购买。

The installation delved into the studio’s ethical ethos of ‘designing real change’, with the process of their works shown from start to finish

All of the studio’s creations were presented as a dossier on the walls of the academy, showing how each design has solved a logistical problem

Unlike a lot of other retrospectives, the installation didn’t just bathe in self-appreciation but addressed issues that have arisen in the studio’s journey

The studio has worked with local materials, including Swedish Träullit; a wooden wool used to make sound absorbing acoustic tiles, called ‘Baux’

‘The design industry as a whole has matured,’ explains studio co-founder John Löfgren. ‘A new stronger strategic sense is prevailing – as if the “yet another product” designers, who were around when we first started, have finally been outgrown’
