Abstract

At Milan Design Week 2018, a brand-new company from Spain, Nagami: www.nagami.design is making its official debut with a pioneering project, combining computational design and large-scale robotic 3D printing — Brave New World: Re-thinking Design in the New Age of Technology. The brand, which crafts every detail from the early conception of a product, to the software that brings it to life, will officially launch with the presentation of four chairs: • Bow and Rise by Zaha Hadid Architects • Robotica TM by Ross Lovegrove • Peeler by Daniel Widrig The products, which will be displayed at Nagami’s pop-up showroom, in the dynamic Brera Design District (Spazio Theca, Piazza Castello, 5), explore new ways of creating furniture that push the limits of imagination to unseen territories: "We design products that until now were just waiting for the right technology to come to life: not only objects that you can hold, but also that you can feel and experience as part of your environment”, say Nagami’s founders: Manuel Jimenez García, Miki Jimenez García and Ignacio Viguera Ochoa. The Opening Event will take place at Nagami’s pop-up showroom on Wednesday, 18 April 2018, from 4.30 pm. The project will kick off with the keynote lecture by Patrik Schumacher (Principal at Zaha Hadid Architects) at 6.00 pm. During the entire design week, the showroom will become a vibrant hub for innovation and technological advancements, hosting a series of lectures pertaining the world of digital design, that run daily from 17-22 April 2018. Speakers include designers featured in the show: Ross Lovegrove and Daniel Widrig, as well as internationally renowned architects, artists and engineers, such as Isaie Bloch, Claudia Pasquero, Arturo Tedeschi, and many more. As 3D printing techniques exert an ever-growing influence on the way we envision design, the exhibition Brave New World: Re-thinking Design in the New Age of Technology provides a glimpse of tomorrow’s most promising tech-savvy design products.
