Sustainable work from University of Belgrade

posted on April 22 by DesignAddict.

After successful international premiere in Talent Zone, Copenhagen Furniture Fair, last year, Wood Processing & Furniture Design students have demonstrated their sustainable design work - furniture prototypes and interior elements, at Salone Satellite 2008, Milan Furniture Fair, held from 16th-21 April.

Exhibition showed fresh, multi functional elements, new construction principles, as well as projects from REST WOOD DESIGN sustainable design workshop by mentor MA Jelena Matic, held every year at the Center for Tools and Machinery, at Faculty of Forestry, University of Belgrade.

Organized annually, the workshop operates as an extracurricular activity at the University promoting sustainable creativity through innovative use of industrial wood waste in student furniture and interior design concepts, which often results in real student prototypes, first time experiences, valuable knowledge, and rewards to young designers.

wow! thats roll up chair with the wedges is amazingly clever, and the
'slatted' chair could be applied to a stool very nicely.

Heath, on April 23:

Wow! Again, theres more! One or two pieces I'm a bit perplexed
by but overall I havn't seen such innovative designs in ages,
goes to show what can be done within strict constraints. Thanks P + A.

Gustavo, on April 23:

Yes, absolutely incredible.
Such quantity of talent, all together.
I would remark:

"experts for design and industry who would have both technical and artistic training"

The re-use of the material

The innovation in techniques.

That they are solid prototypes. (not anly a nice computer render).

And of courses the freshness of the designs.

There is a lot of nice projects to comment. Where to start?
Excelent.

Heath, on April 23:

yes, to do something new with a cantileverered chair like this
astounds me. I wonder if the designer got the idea from wristwatch
straps? I've seen some that behave in a similar way.
