Buzzispace.com VISITED by Alain Berteau
Buzzispace.com, situated in Antwerp and with its ‘Buzziscreen’ winner of the prestigious ‘Design At Work 08 Award’ that was given away at the Interior ’08 show in Kortrijk, launches out a unique collaboration with the Belgian top designer Alain Berteau.
Three new products that Alain Berteau designed for the German mail-order company Magazin, are now put on the market by Buzzispace.com because they perfectly fit into the trade mark’s philosophy: transform our office into a cosy living space, or on the other hand, transform our house into a practical workplace.
1. BuzziStool
Well known kick step becomes trendy accessory for the living space
Alain Berteau: “Everyone knows the kick step, a kind of stool with casters that roll smoothly and retract when weight is applied. You often see it in supermarkets or libraries to allow people to take something off the top shelves.
2. BuzziFile
Traditional ring binder receives trendy facelift
The best designs are those of which you think: why hasn’t anyone else invented that yet? Such a product is the ‘Buzzifile’ from Alain Berteau, it gives you a spontaneous aha-experience. The designer transformed an object that everyone uses daily – and is considered to be ugly- into something beautiful and user-friendly.
3. BuzziPouf
When package becomes designobject
A cylinder made of stainless steel which is in the industry used to transport fragile goods, became the basis of the new ‘Buzzipouf’. Alain: “By coincidence, I discovered a cylinder which is not only being produced ecologically –even the glue is eco friendly-but is also known for its unbreakable character.”
