Highly successful 10-day event
The international Design Biennale closed its doors in Kortrijk Xpo after a highly successful 10-day event that drew more than 92.138 visitors. That's a lot of people! The organizers are looking back at the event with a smile on their face.
— Interieur FoundationINTERIEUR 2010 was about experiencing design and sharing new impressions in a way it had never done before. If the massive interest in the lectures in the Forum are anything to go by we can say with some certainty that the visitors took the time to listen to the different accounts.
The main theme of INTERIEUR 2010 was 'a new world'. The tone was set with the Japanese architect Junya Ishigami - the first guest of honour from outside of Europe.
Other high points of INTERIEUR 2010? "The Rambla - this year it was enlarged and transformed into an amazing piece of reflective architecture - was given an enthusiastic reception. This was also true of the lower floor, with Theyoungdesignersfair, the Design Competition and Design at Work, that was opened up completely for this edition.
And with great success, because there was a tremendous interest in this totally different design ambiance.
My impressions of Interieur 2010. All pictures were taken by an iPhone 4. This was a kind of test case to see if the outcome would be useful.
Hope you liked my personal impression through a journey of pictures. Later I'll pick out the things that really impressed or made me look. I'll write a bit about those in separate posts. There are a lot of items like that so I have plenty of inspiration to fill the Modern Home Design section :) It was also refreshing to see young designers and rising talents claiming their place in this world. Many things going on in the world of contemporary design and you'll read about them here.
Personal impression of INTERIEUR 2010 through a journey of pictures. I'm very satisfied by the result of the iPhone 4. The camera on it really rocks!

You don’t happen to know the product name of those little round Pantone lamps, do you? Your photos have me drooling for them, but I can’t figure out how to buy them.

Yes I do :) They are called Pantone Universe and are created by a Belgian company called Dark. I will highlight what Dark is doing with Pantone in a later post. Love them too!
