communication specialist & design lover. passionate about chairs, germany, social media, espresso, italo disco and 1930s architecture, to name but a few.
Marti Guixé's designs always manage to be funny and intelligent at the same time. He recently designed a clock for Alessi that is made out of whiteboard. It allows you to make your own clock or to define your own time.
Knowing the work of Guixé a little bit, I bet that this is not just a gimmick but that he actually went through a thinking process about the meaning of time in a person's life - to end up with this funny object. I wouldn't be surprised.
This is the man who is convinced that goldfish can also appreciate good design and made some design objects for aquaria. And this is the man who strives for equal rights for plastic garden furniture. In his opinion, they are very good products but often regarded with disdain. This is why he paints the chairs with graffiti stating "stop discrimination of cheap furniture". Gotta love that.
