Architonic’s popular Material Tendencies series brings you interviews with the leading names in architecture and design.
Architonic: Material Tendencies

Rotor is shifting perceptions of how buildings are torn down and reassessing the manner in which they rise, taking a critical look at the industry and challenging notions of “new” being better.

The experimental use of new materials distinguishes the work of Werner Aisslinger, a designer who likes to dive into different territories and who transforms his discoveries into a new context within the field of design.

Designer and architect, Piero Lissoni, reflects on creative freedom, diversity of materials, colors and a dislike of trends

Known for his minimalist aesthetic, Belgian architect and designer Vincent van Duysen aims to create aesthetically pleasing atmospheres with a sort of warm sensuality. His work is characterised by an understated elegance, clean lines and essential forms.

Currently living in London, Dutch Designer Ineke Hans spoke to Architonic about the materials she particularly favours right now

Shifting the focus of the Material Tendencies series, to take in the perspective of the architect, Architonic met up with Jeanne Gang, founder of the Chicago-based Studio Gang

To the British architect, the tendency of the 21st century is the controllability of the wall: “We can make a wall do and look like anything.”

What does the founder of CRÈME mean when he says he enjoys going back to basics? Hint: It has to do with wood and warmth.

Architonic spoke to the trained carpenter and industrial designer from Munich about his passion for design history, materials and development processes

Informed by a storytelling approach, the work of Dutch designer Maarten Baas links elements of design, art and theatre

Italian architect and designer Fabio Novembre describes himself as a wise monkey who feels at home in the jungle. Maybe this is why some of his works err on the wild side.

Architonic spoke to Iran-born industrial designer Khodi Feiz. With his small studio, based in Amsterdam, Feiz is specialised in furniture design and consumer technologies.
