DESIGNOVATION.LT expositions

Project designovation.lt is one of the most important parts of DESIGN WEEK LITHUANIA where we kindly invite young designers to present their latest work in the windows of shops or cafes located in the main streets of the cities.

Windows participating in the project are marked with the special DESIGN WEEK LITHUANIA band and included in the official programme of the festival.

In 2016 these works and many more were presented:

Armchairs with birds Bullfinch and Tit (designer: Agnė Kišonaitė)

After creating a collection of carpets with Lithuanian birds’ illustrations, I continue to include them into other design projects. This time linen handmade carpets were used to decorate the backs of Lithuanian armchairs. The idea itself, design of the carpet, colour palette – were all chosen by me. Linen carpets were hand-woven by EcoLinum, armchairs from Lithuanian oak were produced by company Katwood.

Phoceramics (designer: Audronė Dačkutė)

Phoceramics – is the place, where cute animated animals and people live, and growing trees and berries turn into a piece of jewellery or small home decorations. It is the forest, where graze unseen animals, and the nature turns into different colours, and sometimes it happens in the city.

Urban wool story by CITYSHEEP (designer: Dominyka Murauskienė)

Our accessories are intended for you – active, free and curious people, open to novelties and a little wild. That’s why we focus our efforts on life facilitating functionality, world saving beauty and pure authenticity. Every item of CitySheep is a distinctive creation made of natural materials and inspired by minimalism and urban aesthetics.

Collection Architecture of Mug (designer: Paulius Vitkauskas)

Collection Architecture of Mug – functional ceramic handmade cups (mugs). Masculine yet delicate texture. Materials (chamotte clay coated with mat glaze), colours and textures create outlines of concrete, stone or metal impression. Two basic shapes of cylindrical and trapezium. The distinctive feature – different, unique handles – resemble architectural elements.

LESSISMORE (designers: Milita Balčaitytė and Elzė Sakalinskaitė)

Collection of handbags-backpacks Lessismore is inspired by minimalist clean geometric shapes, different artificial skin textures, colours and shades. Design of handbags is purified and simplified in order to highlight form. Main function of this product is transformation: handbag easily turns into backpack. The exhibition presents photos of collection Lessismore.

Milky Body (designer: Marija Puipaitė)

Milky body is a tableware collection about designer’s relation with the works and designer’s presence in them. Within our works we give away part of ourselves. We give our intimacy for using.

NAKED BRUCE

SS16 collection – a tribute to the intimacy and woman’s body sensuality.

RA SS16 (designer: Ramunė Šermūkšnienė)

This season RA is bringing warming spring breeze and simple femininity in women’s closets. The S/S collection is all about the layers. And they can come together really well – the transparent blouses and dresses show the beautiful blooming braletts and transparent chiffon tunics could be covered with colorful sweaters. The pants are of two types: the high wasted pants are perfect for going out or for evening wear and the mild leggings are for those, who prefer comfort and good taste.

Threesome exhibition

Lauryna Narkevičiūtė and Martyna Jovaišaitė – two artists and photographers, who decided to create a new project, which is now called art studio Threesome. Studio presents small edition art works which are all around photography and graphic design. “We are not separating photography or design as two different areas – we are trying to connect both of them. We are interested in materiality. Usually our mode of life around is the best muse for the new art work”.

Unusual Chair for Usual Work (designer: Dalius Puzinas)

Old and unused Baltic region chair reborn to new life.
