Design: Happy Pills Vases for Venini by Fabio Novembre: “..italian designer fabio novembre has created stacked vases for renowned italian glass manufacturer venini. made of world-famous murano glass, the containers are in the form of pharmaceutical drugs, with faint chemical compositions written on each. each color combination represents a different hormone, testosterone, adrenaline, oxytocin, phenethylamine and estrogen. the placebo is meant to take the place of medication, with the philosophy that playful design has the same hormonal effects as ‘happy pills’..” Wonderfully coloured placebos..

Alice Rawsthorn, the keen-eyed observer of all things design, has written a very interesting article entitled “Keyed to Detail, No Matter How Crazy” in the Art & Design section of The New York Times, looking at the wide variety of designs created by Dutch designer Aldo Bakker, son of Droog Design group co-founder Gijs Bakker and jewelry designer Emmy van Leersum. With an extraordinarily sharp eye, a sensual sense of detail, and a painstaking rigor in fabrication, Aldo Bakker’s creations are well-worth the detour. Based in Amsterdam, a selection of Bakker’s work will be shown at the gallery Perimeter in Paris, 18 November 2011 through 15 January 2012.
