'Network' by Studio Aisslinger
During this year’s currently ongoing DMY festival in Berlin, the German design practice Studio Aisslinger presents its new edition of seating furniture. With ‘Network’ Werner Aisslinger and his team created light and transparents structures based on the smart combination of high technologies and traditional stitching techniques.

“The volumes are first translated with software into 2d projections of themselves that can be directly programmed into the machines that stitch the pattern into a carrying surface. The carrying surface is then dissolved and the embroidered 2d pattern becomes free to form a 3d object. The objects formed by the stitched honeycomb structures are fixed over a fiberglass mould and impregnated with resin in order to make them rigid and constructive”, the designers explain.

‘NETwork’ was developed together with a traditional German manufacturer in Plauen, a region with a long tradition in stitching and embroidery. The fabrics are made by the Danish manufacturer Kvadrat.

Slot by Böttcher and Henssler and Kvadrat 2009
The stool Slot is continuing the style created by the designers Böttcher and Henssler from Berlin, supported by Kvadrat. Simplicity in the appearance of their objects is combined with extraordinary details. Slot, a symbiosis of upholstery and side table, surprises at a second glance. Designed as a space-saving seating-accommodation the options to use Slot are numerous. The special feature – ‘The Slot’ – provides user defined capabilities. It may be used as a space for books and magazines or other equipments found in a modern living room. Once attached with a board it starts to act as a side table.
Slot creates communicative seating options for living rooms and semiprivate areas as well as for bars and clubs.
Slot is as a piece of furniture that accentuates the space as an atmospheric highlight. It is displayed here with a fabric made of cotton wool by the Danish company Kvadrat in combination with a tray made of European beech.
