Der Reiseführer der Zukunft – University Project

This one in German: Ein Reiseführer, der eigentlich keiner ist: Anstatt wie traditionelle Reiseführer durch die Stadt zu führen, gibt DSCVR Inspiration, sich zu verlieren. Der Reiseführer der Zukunft  wirft Fragen auf, motiviert zur kulturellen Interaktion und regt zur Reflexion des Erlebten an. Auf 156 Seiten und mit über 50 Impulsen und Stadtexperimenten inspiriert DSCVR zur Exploration – sowohl von unbekannten Orten und überraschenden Begegnungen, als auch von Gelassenheit und Muße auf Reisen. Und das Beste: Er ist für jede Stadt der Welt.DSCVR_0-1024x748 DSCVR_Buchruecken_2

Das Projekt ist im Rahmen meines Masterstudiums an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste im Departement Design entstanden und soll nun in einer ersten Auflage das Licht der Welt erblicken. Mit Hilfe von Reisenden weltweit – von Kapstadt über Tel Aviv bis nach Tokio – habe ich ein Sammelsurium an Impulsen, Experimenten und Reflexionen entwickelt, das die Mechanismen des Reisens neu denkt.

Animal Boxes by Karl Zahn – Cute

Polar-Bear-980x565Karl Zahn is a freelance product and furniture designer in Greenpoint Brooklyn. His work examines contemporary materials and historical technologies in an attempt to create modern hybrids that are more applicable, beautiful and sustainable.

His designs express a pared down simplicity and stark aesthetic as a blend of modernist hard lines and surfaces with a Danish sensitivity to materials and joinery. Each piece is designed to withstand the passing of trends and foster complex relationships that grow more endearing over time.Whale-640x360 Whale-open-980x565
