Over the course of the next week D will bring you some highlights from this year’s Vienna Design Week! First up we have Daphna Laurens’ collaboration with Wittmann for the Passionswege project. The Passionswege is a focal point of Vienna design week in which young emerging designers are invited to work with selected Vienna-based firms and manufacturers to produce either a product or installation. Daphna Isaacs Burggraaf and Laurens Manders (the design duo behind Daphna Laurens) began their design process by collecting color and mood images from the Wittmann production site. These were then translated into an abstract repertoire of forms which eventually gave shape to the two personality filled pieces of furniture shown above. So fun!

The Daphna Laurens studio is based in Eindhoven Netherlands. Photos courtesy of Daphna Laurens.
