She graduated from the Ateliers Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle. Her work centers on the development of new typologies based on modularity, appropriation, flexibility and network. She denies pure shape, conceiving work that is like “a research in movemenet, made of hypotheses more than of principals.”&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A five-year experience in working with Philippe Starck, a star of the Design world, strongly influenced Matali. She took over his ability to change over from one project to the other without remaining focused on a single field. Their cooperation climaxed in a prize, the Grand Prix of Design of the City of Paris in 1997, which they were jointly awarded. After Philippe Starck had left Thomson, Matali Crasset established a studio of her own in 1998.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She moves across the world of design from industrial and graphic design through to stage design and interior architecture. In so doing, she enjoys herself. She plays. She researches on living space turning it into a mobile environment for poetic experimenting."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When: &lt;/span&gt;Thursday, May 1, 2008, 2:00 PM (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Where: &lt;/span&gt;SCAD-Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St., Room 256 (Atlanta,GA)</description><link>http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/2008/05/scadstyle-lecture-atlanta-may-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Chris Arnold)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29409675.post-8339052958989381332</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-04-14T17:10:53.766-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>event</category><title>[save the date]: Luke Williams, ID@GT Lecture Series</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Chasing Boundaries in Design: The Naked Interface" with Luke Williams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;ID@GT Lecture Series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As digital technology becomes invisibly embedded in everyday things, physical objects are becoming and important vehicle for interaction.

They will join us in Atlanta on November 30th to share their experience in designing and selling their own product ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRESENTATION SYNOPSIS&lt;/strong&gt; from the presenters: 'From our heads to your hands' - "It's important for designers to be part of the entire product cycle, from thinking of an idea, to making the product, to showing it to the public. Designers make great entrepreneurs! They are trained in problem solving and coming up with elegant solutions that can be applied to much more than just products. Running a business, making a website, holding an exhibition and communicating your message to the world can all be treated the same way. Our goal is always to connect as closely as possible to the public; this strengthens our design work, and allows us to see immediate results from our experiments via our work in &lt;a href="http://www.vessel.com/"&gt;Vessel&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.release1.net/v2/indexFlash.html"&gt;Release1&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bigbangip.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIG BANG&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will host and sponsor the evening's festivities at their studio space located in Decatur.

Everyone had a fantastic time while learning lighting fundamentals from the resident expert, taking a tour of Cooper's state of the art lighting facilities and discussing design while catching up with local professionals. We even had a healthy debate when Chris Bryant opened up the event for discussion around marketing your internal design team, and everyone was eager to share their experiences in communicating design to internal client groups. It was a great evening of shared insights from Cooper Lighting and from our design colleagues, so thanks, again, for an enlightening evening!</description><link>http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/2006/09/cooper-lighting-fundamentals.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Carie Davis)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29409675.post-115637691968550360</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Aug 2006 23:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-05T22:11:20.376-04:00</atom:updated><title>Better Living through WACOM - further details</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/uploaded_images/WACOM-759377.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/uploaded_images/WACOM-755739.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Mark your calendars! &lt;strong&gt;September 15&lt;/strong&gt; will be the date of the long awaited sequel to Better Living through WACOM.

There were fewer winners in 2006, just 108, down from 148 last year. There were only 27 golds, vs. 2005’s 38. Clearly, it’s a tougher playing field. There were 995 entries from the U.S., and 499 from 28 other countries. The design game is increasingly global.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/2006/07/formation-design-wins-3-idea-awards.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Carie Davis)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29409675.post-115108372614695412</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-06-23T14:12:00.136-04:00</atom:updated><title>Design Interaction 2006 - Auburn University</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/uploaded_images/AU_Ireland-702872.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.idsa-atlanta.org/uploaded_images/AU_Ireland-798133.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10th Anniversary AU/Ireland Collaborative Studio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday, October 20th, 8:30 AM in Dudley Hall, Parker Auditorium&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Each fall the Department of Industrial Design at Auburn hosts Design Interaction, an event focused on learning from design professionals in the field.
