Concept
Merienda entre amigos” (Spanish for tea-time with friends) During the last years we have met many professionals that eventually have become our friends - this was the starting point of the project. “Merienda entre amigos” is a joint exhibition combining a broad range of design disciplines including product design, furniture and lighting as well as graphic and illustration among others. We love their work and to share experiences with them, that is why we owe them a “cupatea”.

merienda
Something as essential, simple and friendly as “merienda” can not be missing in any household. Founded in 2008 we are a Valencia based studio, whose aim is to enjoy work and be creative. Our main focus is set on product-design alongside graphic design, but we are also into other disciplines like video or animation.

Location (this was the location for the exhibition)
We are set in the heart of Ruzafa in a location called I LOFT VLC. It happens to be a former bakery shop. The place is very inspiring, with a beautiful courtyard, which is actually known as “La Boulangerie”. There is still some old machinery left, dating from the time, when the place was still a lively bakery.
Isn ́t this the perfect place for “tea-time with friends”.

Event
VDM-Valencia Disseny Week The “Valencia Disseny Week”, a vibrant exhibition platform, is part of the core event “Feria Habitat Valencia”. The event represents a great opportunity to check out the latest offerings fromValencia based designers. The reputation of the event is growing rapidly due to the strong social and cultural interest (promoted by the ADCV, Valencia ́s designers association)
20 - 24 September.

Gianpaolo Granato Arquiteto e Associados

































































The Coworking office by Gianpaolo Granato and team is a new space in the heart of Sao Paolo. Coworking is a versatile meeting, communicating and workbench table system providing modern workplaces.


The layout of the tables demonstrates a thoughtful approach to the floor plan which generates a functional network. The scheme is centered on the provision of small work units for self employed individuals and studios; obviously sharing tables and space with others.
PTO DE CONTATO is a platform to experiment, a deliberate contrast to usual offices, offering huge tables and informal spaces for sharing.

The project is on the third floor of a commercial mall from the sixties in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This includes the big office space with a floor area of 165m2, two meeting rooms and a refurbished terrace.

Due to a tight budget an interesting range of minimal shapes and simple materials were used with the intention to pursue simplicity and to reinterpret an existing space. Exposing the existing structure opened up the space and helped to bring natural light deep into the room and to integrate natural ventilation.

The qualities of suspended fluorescent lamps were deemed appropriate for the space due to their simplicity, resulting in a light system that is both attractive and functional.

A real pleasure of the project is the generous roof terrace - inviting to stay and relax.

velcrolamp

The Velcrolamp is in keeping with Sascha Bischoff´s designs to date. Offering lightness and a stripped down design, the lamp is simple but also stylish enough to suit any environment. Transparent Industrial Velcro becomes the key structural and aesthetic element of the lamp. The light emits a soft glow along the fixing strip, which accentuates the fine layer between the timber and the lampshade.

trestle "stiele"
a light and elegant structure.
the design approach is based on the idea to update a piece of furniture traditionally known for its provisional use and character.
