Design Friends is a Luxembourg-based non-profit association gathering together people who are interested in design and its creation.

Since our inception in 2009, we have produced more than 65 design talks, and for each of them, we published a monographic catalogue. Once a year, within the framework of the Luxembourg City Film Festival, we collaborate on a screening night.

UPCOMING EVENT

The chair that conquered the world

Monobloc

Screening

Monobloc tells the story of the best-selling piece of furniture of all time. Estimates claim there are a billion of these cheap plastic chairs in use all over the world. This unassuming chair threatens our environment and good taste but is indispensable for millions of people to whom a chair is a chair and nothing more. This is the tale of an object viewed through a critical eye on globalisation - a story that spans functionality and beauty, capitalism and sharing, consumption and recycling.

Brave new light-heartedness

Lottermann and Fuentes

Photography Design

Nada Lottermann and Vanessa Fuentes grew up together. They developed a passion early on for working creatively together in a multitude of different disciplines. Fashion, art and photography define the focus points of their work – always to create an expression of the feeling of the moment. Both photographers develop a freedom on their projects which they use to give the subject an easy-going strength. Shoots are transformed into friendly and often very special encounters – on both sides of the camera. From the kernel of an idea, through its planning and finally implementation, the two of them realise independent film and photo productions with a real sense of style, without losing sight of the whole.
