Lecture: Design as Functional Art-From the applied arts to nowadays
Speaker: Luigi Laurenzi
Language: English with Chinese Translation
Starting from VITRA chairs applied by Paola Pivi in her “Ball” series, Mr. Laurenzi will give a lecture on how art and design marry. Artists and designers both create visual compositions using a shared knowledge base, but their reasons for doing so are some time entirely different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves designers. Laurenzi will show today’s design for different reason going toward art which he called “design as functional art”.

“All my designs are exploring the balance in between colors and shapes, through the visual even sensational stimulations and challenges, to let the users feel the relationship they share with the colors and forms of the furnitures, and the way of living it. I can’t agree more with what Mathew Hilton said:’ A perfect Italian design touches not only the vision, but the mind.’”

艺术家与设计师同为创意感官的创造者共享同一知识源泉但其初衷往往不同。
有些设计师自认为艺术家，却鲜有艺术家自认为设计师。路易将为观众疏离并剖析各类艺术设计，所谓“设计=功能艺术”。讲者将从波拉·彼薇采用瑞士设计品牌VITRA的座椅创作灯具出发，向观者展开设计艺术创作之旅。
