En effet, le projet « Orange Blue », en collaboration avec l’Ambassade Royale des Pays-Bas au Luxembourg, propose et proposera toute une série de manifestations autour du Design. (exposition de travaux de designer, workshops, conférences et autres rencontres).
Le premier volet de cette action s’est déroulé du 20 au 28 octobre dernier lors d’une exposition de travaux des membres de Design Luxembourg à la prestigieuse Dutch Design Week à Eindhoven. Événement de renommée internationale attirant plus de 50.000 visiteurs par an.
Mais dés le 18 janvier 2008, le projet sera développé sur le sol Luxembourgeois avec la présentation de l’exposition « Orange Blue » à la Fondation de l’Architecture et de l’Ingénierie.

(du lundi au vendredi de 14h00 à 18h00 et les samedis de 11h00 à 17h00)
Elle sera complétée par une série de conférences, qui prendront place dans les bâtiments de la Dexia BIL à Esch-Belval, avec au programme :

“Design and management, friends by nature”
Peter Kersten
Design Management Network (NL)

Design management refers to an approach whereby organizations make design-relevant decisions in a market and customer-oriented way as well as optimizing design-relevant (enterprise-)processes. It is a long-continuous comprehensive activity on all levels of business performance. Design management acts in the interface of management and design and functions as link between the platforms of technology, design, design thinking, management and marketing at internal and external interfaces of the enterprise. The roots of design management go back into the 1920s with AEG and the 1950s and 1940s with Olivetti. For a long time design management was used as a term, but thereby not understood correctly, since it could be attributed neither directly to the design nor the management. |

The Design Academy and Dutch Design in general is gaining notoriety. In 2003 New York Times mentioned the academy as “without question, currently the best design academy in the world”. Several alumni are now designers for the well known designer label “Droog Design”. Moss from the famous design store Moss Gallery has praised the education of The Design Academy several times. Orange Alert: Dutch Design Events organize Dutch Design events in New York which are very successful.

“Design, its concepts, its histories”
Dr. Marjan Groot
Department for Art History / University of Leiden (NL)

Design history is the study of objects of design in their historical and stylistic contexts. With a broad definition, the contexts of design history include the social, the cultural, the economic, the political, the technical and the aesthetic. Design history has as its objects of study all designed objects including those of fashion, crafts, interiors, textiles, graphic design, industrial design and product design. Design history has had to incorporate criticism of the ‘heroic’ structure of its discipline, in response to the establishment of material culture, much as art history has had to respond to visual culture, (although visual culture has been able to broaden the subject area of art history through the incorporation of the televisual, film and new media). Design history has done this by shifting its focus towards the acts of production and consumption.
Mais ce n’est pas tout, le 23 janvier 2008, une grande journée Workshop sera organisée au Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (MUDAM), avec des ateliers sur le Packaging, les Origamis ou bien encore le Design d’objets inutiles.
L’entrée est libre pour toutes ces manifestations. Pour plus d’informations, veuillez consulter le site www.designluxembourg.lu |
