So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be."

The 25,000 piece installation is meant to celebrate the longstanding heritage of ceramics in the region, while also cleverly creating a platform for Hasami’s pottery

Trimarchi 2015 Design Festival

July 27, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Argentina, Events, Trimarchi, 2015

Designcollector is happy to announce new media partnership with the largest Design festival in South America and one of the biggest in the world - TRIMARCHI. Happening in Buenos Aires during "Argentinian Spring" on September 25-27, festival gathers a stadium of creative minds soaking the atmosphere brought by world leading speakers. We believe that our new partnership with Trimarchi Festival bring you a lot of interesting news and collaborations.Book your challenging experience with a chance to enjoy Buenos Aires in "spring" with TRIMARCHI.

For fifteen years in a row, we've gathered the biggest community of restless creatures in Latin America in a stadium. Thousands of designers, photographers, publicists, architects, anthropologists, design-inquisitors, illustrators and musicians get together to think, debate and celebrate. This ritual has become a means of operation, a considered action, a form of joy. The connexion to the little darling is unavoidable. But what is design's little darling? Inspiration? A line on a blank sheet? A geometric shape? The reticule? Composition?
We are surrounded by little darlings which help us believe in what we do; confidence, and structure our plans; projection. Little muses that constantly whisper in our ear the steps we must take; those moments plagued with ideas, lights, inspirations.
The classic crossroad of design after the starting point; the Problem. And above it all, her, with her steps floating over neurons; the Solution, dressed in graphite, nodes or ink scattered on a sketch book. And this year, we're gonna celebrate her sweet 15!

Art of Jeremy Miranda
