Milan Fuori Salone, April 12-17 2011
The Rip + Tatter Kid's Chair will be featured during Milan Design week as part of the Kids room – ZOOM! exhibit installation. Kids room – ZOOM! is a special home exclusively designed for children staged and curated by Unduetrestella founder Paola Noé with Austrian children’s furniture designer Thomas Maitz from Perludi.
"The project provides a snapshot of contemporary design for children and aims at moving this young, emerging creative scene into the center of public attention. An elegant apartment on the third floor of a residential building, located in the heart of Milan, will open the door to international design for the little ones, but also to contemporary artists, publishers and food installations.
Furniture and objects contribute to building up the material world around a child and are therefore significant carriers of meaning. Whether crafted by hand or industrially manufactured, pieces of furniture and objects for children reveal a lot about adults’ attitudes towards the physical and mental development of children. When designing for kids, one has to consider various factors: intimacy and the system within a family, power, autonomy and personal territory, learning and, above all, the significance of playing."
