»MADE 4 YOU / NON STOP!«
Softcover: 64 pages
Publisher: MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna, 2012

The MAK design happening »MADE 4 YOU. Design for Change NON STOP!« — staged as part of Vienna Design Week 2012 by Vandasye — uses an assortment of various devices to introduce new forms of individual and small-series goods manufacturing. Production will be devoted to objects useful in catering the evening event, as well as to a possible range of products for the MAK Design Shop. The museum will thus become a site of simultaneous production, distribution, and consumption, making visible processes related to the economics of consumer goods. Download PDF

»Apartment«
Softcover: 48 pages
Publisher: Vandasye, 2011

The »Apartment« series, an ongoing collection of furniture, lighting and accessories, originates from the idea of using prefabricated components along with today‘s production techniques. The products are centered around utility, the evolution of domestic behaviour and a contemporary formal vocabulary.

»Our New Apartment«
Softcover: 48 pages
Publisher: Vandasye, 2009

The collection »Our New Apartment« is a radical assemblage of prefabricated components (standardized wood and plywood from local builders merchants) and selective laser sintered polyamide parts. The selfengineered polyamide parts and the semi-finished materials enhance a clarity of purpose wholly dedicated to usage and explore the obviousness of a very simple constructive logic based on analogies, function and material. The investigation of selective laser sintering on ordinary objects draws conclusions of the visual and technical qualities of this material.
