Experimental project to create a place we call home
As part of the three main event of ExperimentaDesign Amsterdam 2008, “Come to My Place” is trying to portray the way people arrange and decorate their own homes.
With the global spread of design culture, interior designers now are less tied to their places of origin. Their work is no longer pervaded by the traits of a national or local design culture that would be mirrored in the home and its fixtures.
With today’s increasingly mixed, nomadic and global context, the only thing remains unchanged at heart is that we remain firmly residential and we redefine it using by multiple dimensions of a dynamic networked culture and spaces on the place we call home.
Come to my Place is a laboratory experiment from eight designers and design teams from different countries that are giving the task to create a place out of an anonymous “cell” space provided to them and make it into a “home”.
