For the 2018 iteration of Milan Design Week, Vitra presented Typecasting in a former sports hall in the city's Brera district. Austrian designer and curator Robert Stadler drew on Vitra's extensive archives and chose a broad panorama of 200 objects, juxtaposing current products with classics, prototypes, special editions and future visions. The objects were chosen and displayed to emphasize the social function of design. While furniture might be grounded in practical functionality, it can take on narrative and representational meanings: a chair might seem to have a personality or a story as we identify with it and script it into our own personal performances.
By presenting objects as characters, Typecasting signals that it is not just about furniture--it's also about us and the way we use furniture now. Featuring a broad range of perspectives--from Konstantin Grcic, Hella Jongerius, the Bouroullec brothers, Simon Denny, Mark Lee, Jasper Morrison and Alice Rawsthorn, among others--Typecasting documents and extends the exhibition, providing generous photographic documentation of the show and critically investigating how we use design to tell stories about ourselves.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
An Assembly of Iconic, Forgotten and New Vitra Characters
During Milan’s Design Week 2018, the Vitra exhibition »Typecasting,« curated by Robert Stadler, presented 200 objects in the former sports hall La Pelota in the city’s Brera district.
In addition to generous photographic documentation of the event, this eponymous publication , designed by Zak Group, critically investigates how design evolves under the influ ence of social media. By presenting the objects as characters, »Typecasting« is as much about furniture as it is about ourselves. Whereas furniture’s practical function is a given, its representational role has dramatically evolved: furniture and objects become props for self-staging on social media and online
