Transplant:)

Spectacular place!

Birgitta Ralston and Alexandre Bau established Transplant in Norway, after 10 years as designers in Paris, they wished to create an open design competence arena for industries within the fields of design and architecture.

To think different and find new ideas, they believe that both research/art and technological/trend knowledge are important elements in the process. This is the departure point for on-mesure workshops and consulting for companies and also in their independant Transplant program.

The first two years 2007-09 Transplant was animated by a contemporary art/design program. Visitors and users where met by constantly changing interior spaces and exhibitions. From 2010 a design research program is filling Transplant with new activity.

Five simple mantras has been guiding the content development in Transplant.

Growing ideas
Melting Pot
Unexpected

Work in progress

We are really happy with the stuff that we made! Trine made a side table with integrated light and a spaceship made of lego. I made a lamp out of a Ikea stool, two legs of an old table and a original lampshade from the 70´s. I can really recommend this beautiful place in Dale, where they grow ideas... We rented a nice apartment by the sea for the weekend and had a wonderful time looking out on the fjord and mountains. I am definetively going back, soon I hope!

Fretex Redesign

Me and my friend Trine went to Dale in Førde Norway to attend a Fretex Redesign workshop organized by Transplant for more info see www.transplant.nu. The picts above shows lamps made of teapots and other ceramic products. You can also see old lampshades transformed into candle holders, nice!

Figgjo into concrete :)

We are still working on this exciting project by crushing and sawing! It is wonderful to see how cool the products looks like when they are splitted into several pieces. Above you can see the porcelain moulded together with concrete. I want some of theese lovely concrete blocks in my driveway!!! Will still keep you updated on this exciting project.
