Design by Architects - Architecture by Designers
XS ARCHITECTURE is a concept of the Dutch architect and cultural entrepreneur Bastiaan Gribling, in collaboration with architectural editor and curator Parvinder Marwaha. The key idea is to create a platform for architecturally-related items – products that have clear architectural features but steer away from the traditional notion that ‘architects only design buildings’.
XS ARCHITECTURE starts off with XS ARCHITECTURE Market – an event which will represent and sell products, objects and prototypes designed by architects or artists and designers that demonstrate a clear link to the world of architecture. The selection ranges from functional products such as chairs, lamps and textiles to objects that have a more conceptual purpose – to trigger the mind and expose ‘cross-over design’: architects as designers; designers as architects. XS ARCHITECTURE tries to upscale design possibilities by distorting the scale and line between different design disciplines.
