Studio E Architects

Studio E Architects was founded in 1994 with the objective of creating buildings which were both aesthetically refined and environmentally responsible. We have applied this principle to commissions across many building sectors, creating a network of skilled and like-minded consultants and achieving recognition through regional, national and international awards as well as through extensive media coverage. In addition to design commissions we have also undertaken R&D, development planning and feasibility assessment. We enjoy working across a range of sectors, believing that a flow of new challenges keeps the mind inventive and that insights and investigations in one field can often inform and illuminate those in another. With each project we seek to produce architecture which, while fulfilling its brief and being delivered on time and to budget, moves beyond this to be life-enhancing and unique: a special place.

Studiofibre

Studiofibre is a multi-disciplined design company based in the Chiltern hills, just outside London.

Studio Rolf

Rolf (Dutch) was educated at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University Delft in the Netherlands and graduated in two departments: architecture and urban planning.
Almost immediately after graduation he started his own architecture agency in the city of Utrecht where he allready lived during his studies.
Assignments mainly consisted of reconstructions, expansions, extensions and transformations. In 2003 Rolf together with Marnix van der Meer founded a new agency: Zecc Architects.
The assignments got bigger and allthough also projects for newly built houses and buildings were developed and realised, the emphasis remained on the reconstruction and transformation of existing ones such as a watertower, churches and schools.
Beginning of 2009 Studio Rolf.fr was founded to be able to focus entirely on the designing of furniture and products.
The theme of transformation of the architecture is now translated and applied to this field of working: existing furniture is being transformed and given new functionality, esthetetic quality and lifespan.
What the transformation in essence comes down to is, like in architecture, the creating of a symbiosis between existing and newly added elements, parts and materials.

SPG Architects

SPG Architects is a mid-sized architectural firm based in New York City. Headed by two partners, SPG is a strong design practice that also provides a comprehensive range of architectural and interior services. The firm has served a wide variety of clients with a range of regional, national, and international projects that include numerous co-op and condominium apartments, urban townhouses, second homes, free-standing houses and residential compounds, corporate offices and retail establishments. Corporate clients include Polo Ralph Lauren, Time Warner, Calvin Klein, COTY beauty, Comeliani, Catherine Malandrino, Hartmann Luggage, Andrew Martin LTD, Bill Blass New York, Palm Pictures, and American Online. Although the clients are diverse, they are united in their desire for architecture that is well conceived and well executed by a team of professionals.

SPG Architects' modernist approach to design allows for the various functions of a space to be organized and expressed, while eliminating the cacophony of the untended environment. Architectural ideas are drawn from the project site and the client's needs and desires. These then are expressed through manipulations of form and light. An interest in up-to-date building technologies and construction materials, both natural and man-made, further informs the design. SPG's work clearly presents a visual consistency based on human proportions, the exploration of light, and the judicious use of materials that provide singular tactile, visual, spatial and temporal experiences.

Sergio Rodrigues

Sergio Rodrigues is this enlightened figure with a remarkable personality that had the ability to transform his concerns into a coherent and revealing work of the Brazilian culture. Sergio is, without a doubt, one of the most admirable design expressions in our country. His coherent and unique trace inscribed his name in the history of design in the 20th century, mainly for the creation of a variety of products - the most famous being the “Mole” armchair (Sheriff armchair).

Alongside masters such as Joaquim Tenreiro and Jose Zanine Caldas, Sergio has made Brazilian design internationally known. While Tenreiro, with his sober furniture, was the pioneer in the quest of a new style, Zanine extracted from the wood all of its expressive potential and Sergio Rodrigues developed vast experience of production, looking to “think” Brazil through design. He totally transformed furniture jargon, was generous in the trace and the use of native wood and, as Lucio Costa well affirmed, with the creation of OCA (his first interior design store) integrated the interior ambiance in the renovation movement of Brazilian architecture.

In the mid 50s, Brazilian production in this sector (furniture) was still bound to styles and its renovation demanded a battle. Sergio knew that the only weapon he had was the design and that was where he embarked.

Initially, as an architect, he worked together with David Azambuja, Flavio Regis do Nascimento and Olavo Redig de Campos on the Curitiba Civic Center project, which was very significant for Brazilian modern arquitecture. However, knowing well his interests and wandering the path that had already been wandered by other great architects, such as João Batista Vilanova Artigas, Oscar Niemayer, Oswaldo Bratke and Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Sergio leaped from architecture to furniture design.

Aside from this, he was absolutely sure that arquitecture in which the internal space was not planned accordingly was not arquitecture, it was sculpture.

Snarkitecture

Snarkitecture is a collaborative practice between an artist and an architect. Rather than make buildings, the interest of Snarkitecture lies in working on designs within existing spaces or collaborating with other architects and artists on existing projects. Snarkitecture’s work involves investigation of the structure and materials within a space and how they might be manipulated in order to serve new and imaginative purposes. Searching for sites within architecture with a possibility for confusion or misuse, Snarkitecture aims to reconfigure these existing elements to make architecture do things that it is not supposed to do.

Snarkitecture was established by Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen.

Studio Olgoj Chorchoj

Studio Olgoj Chorchoj was founded in 1990 during the Vitra Design Museum workshop led by Denis Santachiara. At that time Michal Froněk (1966) and Jan Němeček (1963) studied at Academy of Arts in Prague. Their first projects involved design of experimental seating and interior concepts. At the begining Studio Olgoj Chorchoj´s creativity took on wide range of work from light-generating ready-made objects, glass vases, porcelain-made sets and titanium jewellery to architectural projects. Its designs stressed the use of technology and natural materials.
An important period of Studio Olgoj Chorchoj´s history, right from the technological point of view, was the fourniture made of plywood produced in numericaly controlled engines. This set of tables and shelfes named „Škoda tables“ was used for advertisement of Paul Smith and was exhibited in Europe and USA.

In 1999 Studio Olgoj Chorchoj exposed together with Eva Eisler and grafic studio Najbrt the karbon tables and basins in Radio House in New York. These can be found in colections of Metropolitan Museum of N.Y. A couple of project were realized in this period, such as an interior for PPF company, The Dynamo restaurant and several privat large-room flats. It is necessary to mention the cooperation with porcelain factory Epiag Dálovice. The porcelain set called „Marnotratné tvary“ („The Lavish Shapes“) was made in here. The name was found in reaction to the postmodernistic tendences. The „double wall“ appeared here for the first time and was used for many times after. According to an order of the firm Techo, studio set up the colaboration with glass factory in Včelnička. The final product took name „Dutá“: a glass with a concave stalk.

In the beginning of ninetees Studio Olgoj Chorchoj started to cooperate with Glass works of Zdeněk Lhotský „Tavená plastika Pelechov“, which concentrates its production on the unique technology of melting large blocks of glass. Things coming from their team work were lately exposed in common exhibition,which took place in Prague casel with the name „Ornament by technology“.
Since 2000 Studio Olgoj Chorchoj has been cooperating with glass factory Kavalier in Moravia. Studio Olgoj Chorchoj projected for them the drinking set „Look“ made of flame-ware, later on double-wall set Twinwall, vases „Gap“ were made for Gandy gallery and together with Moss gallery in New York a set of tubes lights in the shape of cross and candellabre. A certain success came with cooperation between Studio Olgoj Chorchoj and Vitrun Praha s r.o the producer of laboratory glass. A set of table and floor candellabres was the result. In 2003S tudio Olgoj Chorchoj exposed a new set of vases in Vessel Gallery London, which were producted in Moser glassfactory.

In 2005 Studio Olgoj Chorchoj started a very intesive colaboration with glassworks Květná, for which the drinking set were projected : Konus, Ez, Cut, Mr. Egg, and so on.The glassfactory Květná is specialised on hand–made and traditional technolgical procedures, which correspondes with the design intentions of Studio Olgoj Chorchoj. In 2006 the set Mr. Egg was aworded with Design Plus awords on tradefair Ambiente. In the same year the butch production of Beer glasses for Pilsner-Urquell devoted to the wholeworld trade took up. These were made in the production of the firm Rastal.
Jan Rosický, Lars Kemper, Pavol Mikuláš and Petr Mikošek are the most involved in glass projects.

An important part of the team work is the design of interiors and reconstruction of the historical objects and industrial buildings.
