The Times 'The Knowledge'
UK - October 2005
The Arts Online: "Design Addicts - A haven for those who cannot get enough of their Eames chairs and Peter Schlumbohm coffee makers, this Belgian-run site has much to recommend it as a database designed to serve and link the global design community. News, interviews and listings are present, while it prides itself on its links, and no wonder. There are vintage design dealers (594), furniture producers (464), virtual exhibitions (22) and designers' portfolios (257), to name a scant few examples among its 3,992 links. The forum, to, seems to be permanently besieged and hosts vexing questions concerning redesign solutions for New Orleans and the shame of buying Ikea bookcases."

Fils d'architecte, Patrick Everaert ne pouvait concevoir de vivre dans un mobilier banal.

Cent mille visiteurs par mois viennent consulter cette véritable encyclopédie qui évolue chaque jour. On y trouve tout ce qui concerne le design de l'après-guerre (pas uniquement dans le domaine du plastique), un calendrier des expositions, des petites annonces d'achat et de vente, des forums de discussion...

Excellence by Design by Susan Solomon
"The site is designaddict.com. I chanced upon it thanks to a tip from Yahoo! Internet Life's "Sites We Love" round-up (May 2002). Now, I am not in any way a design junkie, addict, or even aficionado. In fact, until I was shaken to my senses just a short while ago, most of my furniture was purchased at IKEA. What I love about the site is that it pulls even casual visitors in, providing lots of places to wander. My visit was probably the first time in weeks I didn't just go right to the search menu to grab the info I needed before making a quick exit. ...All in all, it's nice to come across a site completely absorbed with and dedicated to becoming the be-all and end-all of design destinations..."

Plastic Belgium by James Zemaitis
'...I was also floored by the hospitality of my hosts that first evening, Patrick and Alix Everaert, who run the highly regarded non-profit design site, Design Addict. It's the only online portal I've encountered for the design world, and it's also an inventory of the Everaert's labor of love, the P&A Collection -- an impressive assortment of 20th-century modern collectibles, from ashtrays and appliances to tableware and shelving, which they keep in their apartment in the Saint-Gilles district.
The P&A Collection includes 550 plastic objects -- 95 percent of their collection -- with a healthy complement of Finnish glassware, Danish teak tableware and postmodern metalwork. Everything is modular, stackable and portable, from the orange and white storage containers by Anna Castelli Ferrieri for Kartell, or the sets of brightly colored dinnerware by Lella and Massimo Vignelli for Heller. The best part of all is that every item is photographed, catalogued and on view on their website. In short, Design Addict delivers the goods, and serious junkies like myself mainline their content on a regular basis.'

Site van de week Liefhebbers, verzamelaars, kunstdealers en studenten kunnen op Designaddict .com informatie vinden over alle mogelijke vormen van design uit de 20ste en 21ste eeuw. Deze Engelstalige stek werd ontworpen door het Belgische duo Patrick en Alix Everaert en bestaat uit vier grote delen: Designaddict , Designindex, Designads en Designlinks. Op de pagina's van het Designaddict -luik vind je onder meer informatie over verschillende design-exposities in binnen- en buitenland en korte essays over een aantal stijlstromingen. Maar vooral de Designindex op deze stek springt in het oog. In deze internetdatabase vind je korte biografieën van bekende en minder bekende ontwerpers en producenten. Wat al die mensen eigenlijk gemaakt hebben kan je te weten komen met een handige zoekmodule, waarmee je producten kan opvragen naargelang periode, functie of materiaal. Wil je na het lezen van al deze teksten meer weten over een ontwerper of spreekt een bepaalde stijlvorm je wel aan, klik dan verder naar het Links-dossier van deze stek. Hier vind je een bijzonder groot aantal links naar onder meer verdelers, producenten en websites van designmusea. Al die adressen werden netjes onderverdeeld volgens stijlstroming of periode, waardoor het opzoeken van gegevens steeds vlot kan verlopen. Het Ads- of advertentiegedeelte, dat dagelijks wordt aangepast, is dan weer meer bedoeld voor de echte verzamelaars. Die kunnen hier niet alleen zoekertjes plaatsen en lezen, maar ook informatie vragen aan andere surfers over de meest uiteenlopende designproducten. Door het grote en gevarieerde informatieaanbod lijkt deze site op het eerste gezicht misschien een beetje chaotisch, maar eigenlijk kan je op Designaddict steeds vrij snel de informatie vinden die je nodig hebt. Dat is in de eerste plaats te danken aan de sobere lay-out, maar ook de handige sitemap maakt deze stek gebruiksvriendelijker. Bovendien hebben de ontwerpers van Designaddict de drukke en vaak overbodige Flash-animaties vermeden die andere trendy sites wel eens ontsieren. Ook daardoor is Designaddict .com een degelijke site geworden waar zowel de echte stijlfreak als de geïnteresseerde leek veel plezier aan kan beleven.
