Komplot Design. Denmark.




Gubi Chair.

Komplot = Poul Christiansen. Architect + Boris Berlin (best name ever). Industrial/graphic designer.

"We Believe that design is an intermediate body - a link that appears into existence in the tension of no mans land: Tension between art and engineering, between manufacturer and consumer/user, between different cultures, between tradition and innovation, rationality and intuition, logic and emotion(...) We believe that good design is not just a solution of the primary so called pure functional problems, but creation of the message, that fills objects and concepts with cultural, philosophic, aesthetic and poetic content...". Amen.
