MILLE FIABE

MILLE FIABE stands for exclusive home ornaments – extravagant interior decorations that offer a doorway to utopian and humorous worlds and reveal astonishing scenes. These designer objects play with the dreams and desires of the viewer, awakening the powers of the imagination. At the same time, opposites are united in their most beautiful form: the world of dreams and reality, miniature and infinite, purism and opulence. This is what makes MILLE these home ornaments far more than simple decorations – they will enchant, surprise and inspire you. In designing and crafting these ornaments, MILLE FIABE pays great attention to perfect design, originality and versatility. The filigree components are refined by hand in the Tübingen workshop and assembled into exclusive interior decorations. The MILLE FIABE brand – whose name means “a thousand fairy-tales” – was created by Katrin Ruoffner and launched in 2015. The young designer had returned to Tübingen, her hometown, after working for several years as a Colour & Trim Designer for renowned carmakers – latterly in the luxury segment. She wanted at last to realise her long-standing dream of establishing her own design brand for exclusive miniature worlds. In her workshop, she has since then devoted her attention exclusively to the MILLE FIABE objets d’art. Katrin Ruoffner draws her inspiration from all realms of creative activity: art, literature, fashion, interior design and architecture. The MILLE FIABE brand is devoted to timeless values, such as excellence and individuality, which find expression both in the filigree hand-crafted objects and the close bond she enjoys with her customers. The unique home accessories – the exclusive “home ornaments” – by MILLE FIABE are unlike any other product. They invite viewers to embark on a journey of adventure through the world of their own imagination.

SAMESAME

upcycled glass products

A series of remodeled glass bottles emerged from Laura Jungmann’s Product Design diploma “Same, same. But different” in 2013. This multiply rewarded work was the origin for the glass collection SAMESAME, which – in cooperation with glass blower Cornelius Réer – is now being exhibited for the first time within the talents section of the consumer goods fair Ambiente in Frankfurt. Visitors will see a collection of reformed glass objects, created by Cornelius Réer in his glass manufacture and produced from commercially available glass bottles. Those industrially produced bottles are being revalued both functionally and esthetically by means of traditional craftsmanship. Thus, the distinctive features of the industrially produced bottles are being preserved while their esthetics become contradictory: A high-value individual item originates from a standardized mass product. SAMESAME is an attempt to show a new creative way to alternative product and production thinking. The often times misinterpreted term “sustainability” by its actual meaning provides the basis of this project. But first of all it’s a tribute to an increasingly forgotten trade.

Estelle Gassmann

Memories of everyday occurrences

Estelle Gassmann‘s objects and products are designed from disparate starting materials and developed by means of elaborate processes. Each object is orchestrated as an aesthetic counterpoint to its functional character, which is thus given a totally new and unusual dimension. It produces fragile visual „creatures” which set stories in motion. They offer to the eye of the observer a visible animation of the material, a poetic elsewhere.

Cornelius Reer

Glass in plastic forms

Dots is the name Cornelius Réer has chosen for his double-walled bowls that can be used either as vessels on a table or arranged as a decorative installation on a wall, both in private homes and public spaces. Another specialty of this Nuremberg-based glass artist is sandblasting the surfaces of his creations, thus giving his vessels a specific structure and redefining them as sculptural objects. Sensitively chosen colors, perfect functionality and purposeful shapes are the hallmarks of Réer’s pieces which, according to this versatile glass artist, should be self-explanatory in every respect. His objects’ appearance might be perfectly clear and distinct, but the process of designing and manufacturing them is often very laborious and time-consuming.
