Conexión entre trabajo experimental y desarrollo…

Ginbande Design

15/11/90. (Sala 122)

The connection between experimental work and the development of industrial products.

From 15 November – 8 December 1990.

The Ginbande Design group was founded in 1985 in Frankfurt/Main by Uwe Fisher and Klaus-Achim-Heine.

Uwe Fisher was born in 1958, studied design at Hochschule fur Gestaltung Offenbach, specializing in Industrial Design.

Klaus-Achim Heine, was born in 1955, studied mathematics and physics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt and later went on to study Design at Hochschule fur Gestaltung Offenbach, specializing in Visual Communications.

The work carried out by the Ginbande Design group cannot be classified into any of the usual categories; it seems that Ginbande has broken new ground with experimental objects, regardless of art, neo-design or classic industrial design. Ginbande on the one hand works experimentally and on the other hand is orientated toward use values, he also understands design as a possibility of teaching the user: the correlation between things, the interaction between people, the relationships between people and things are some of the main goals of this German group, which lead them to describe their work as experimental design.

So Ginbande offers, for example, an extensible world, in designs such as his “Tabula Rasa” table that offers the possibility of seating two people, when folded and up to 20 people, when extended; or different uses of his “Tabula Varia” that allows endless variations of it elements.
