“It’s important that a space works with people, that it’s flexible. I like moving things around, like you can do in this space. It’s structurally strong, but also has the freedom to evolve and respond to changing circumstances,” Ilse Crawford in South China Morning Post, explaining her design for Duddell’s Art Centre. http://ow.ly/lS9sn  (This image of Studioilse’s Seating for Eating collective which follows the same approach)

“We’re designing it in China and having it made in Portugal. Why? Because it’s really just the best craft we’ve seen so far. What we’re saying is that China needs to step out there and show the world that we can also design and create.” Neri&Hu interview with Blouin ArtInfo http://ow.ly/lxoMI

Watch as the Neri&Hu installation for NY Design Week takes shape in this 30 second time lapse video http://vimeo.com/66815224

Neri&Hu installation at NY Design Week 2013 to launch collaboration between Neri&Hu and De La Espada

Wallpaper magazine explains the exhibition thus: “Visitors made their way down a dark corridor lined with pigeon holes, which they peeked through to see sketches, renderings and models of other Neri & Hu projects, before entering the main space where the new pieces could be viewed. Coupled with the sounds of Shanghai’s busy streets that were piped into the space and the raw brick walls of the existing building, the exhibition format brought to mind the inner and outer courtyard format of traditional Chinese houses.” More http://ow.ly/lieSF
