Cecilie Manz: The Needle in the Haystack
Presenting the diversity of her work in prototypes, industrial projects and one-offs 鈥� spanning bathtubs, cutlery and furniture to stepping stones, porcelain, lighting and bags 鈥� the exhibition focus is on the details, with a cabinet of treasures showcasing eclectic references, inspirational objects, samples and an insistent dedication to coloration.
Based on Manz鈥檚 personal design process, the show homes in on selected projects to recount the stories behind them. Manz鈥檚 work evokes a sense of finding the needle in the haystack, a circuitous approach to the solution; a laborious minutiae of contemplations, doubts, templates and quirky prototypes. A painstaking and persistently iterative process.
Gain a unique insight into Manz鈥檚 work processes; into commissioned designs created in close collaboration with a manufacturer versus her experimental, 鈥渇reewheeling鈥� projects. The design processes may be brief, lengthy, lavish or lean, but the methodology is essentially the same in the trajectory from intuition to a finished design.
