2016臺北世界設計之都-瑞典設計展
Design Solution: Swedish Design For 170 Years
提到北歐設計,你想到了什麼?設計師名椅?極簡線條與溫潤木質的傢俱?
近年來在台灣風靡設計界的北歐風格,簡潔設計背後蘊含著獨到的地域美學與實用機能,而引領北歐設計發展並將其推廣至全世界的正是北歐第一大國—瑞典。20世紀初才逐漸步上工業化的瑞典,僅用了半個世紀的時間,就發展為國際上完全現代化的工業強國,國際最受歡迎的的家居設計企業IKEA,平價流行設計服飾H&M或是以安全享譽的汽車製造商Volvo,全都來自於瑞典。到底瑞典是如何克服先天資源有限的發展難題,將瑞典設計推向國際?
今年3月,由臺北市政府文化局主辦的「Design Solution 瑞典設計展」為2016臺北世界設計之都的首檔國際交流展,將於3月12日到4月10日於松山文創園區1號倉庫展出。
本次展覽由歷史悠久且主導瑞典設計脈動的瑞典設計工藝協會Svensk Form與蔚龍藝術有限公司共同策劃,以「Design Solution」為題,呼應「2016臺北世界設計之都」期望運用「設計思考」解決社會問題的核心精神,展覽共分三大主題從瑞典設計170年的發展歷程裡,帶領市民一探瑞典設計最貼近社會脈動的一面,看設計如何成為社會問題的解決之道。
What do you think of when it comes to Scandinavian design? Designer chairs?
Or furniture with minimal lines that brings warmness? Scandinavian style has been the popular trend in Taiwan for the recent years and behind the simple designs are the unique regional aesthetic and practical functions. In addition, Sweden, the largest country in Northern Europe, is the one that leads the development of Scandinavian design and promotes it to the world. This country that slowly caught up with industrialization in the beginning of the 20th century, merely spent half a century to become a completely modernized industrial country in the world. Whether it is the most popular home furnishing enterprise worldwide, IKEA, affordable and fashionable apparel brand H&M or automobile manufacturer Volvo that is reputed for its safety are all from Sweden. Yet, how did Sweden conquered development difficulties and let Swedish design made known globally under the constraint of limited resources?
Design Solution, Swedish Design for 170 Years Exhibition is hosted by the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government and curated by Svensk Form, the association with a long history that directs Swedish design trends, as well as Blue Dragon Art company. It will be the first international exchange exhibition among a range of exhibits in the 2016 Taipei Design Capital and will be opened this March at Warehouse No.1 in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park from March 12th to April 10th. Design Solution, Swedish Design for 170 Years Exhibition takes “Design Solution” as the theme while echoing with the core idea of the 2016 Taipei Design Capital, which is adapting “design thinking” in solving social issues. The exhibit will be divided into three categories; from 170 years of Swedish design development, visitors will explore Swedish design aspects that are the closest to social pulsation and finally see how design becomes the solution to social issues.
