Videography by Katya Kalyska @katkalyska
Recently we visited the local design team over at @pantertourron , good friends of @tempodesignstore , which are celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a multidisciplinary design duo. Photographer @katkalyska captured the moment where Alexis Tourron and Stefano Panterotto gave us a special walk-through of their design process, their unique creative space that houses a wood-shop for prototypes, and their top-secret creations still not yet published.
In these photos by Katya, you can experience the feeling of being immersed in this creativity, the unique atmosphere of Panter&Tourron.
Stay updated for an interview with them on our blog and amazing news yet to come!

TEMPO DESIGN STORE: COMMUNITY
We visited the studio of artist Sipho Mabona, based in Lucerne, together with photographer Katya Kalyska. She captures beautiful moments of Sipho showing us his new work, his objects of sentimental value and tools of the trade. - Tempo Design Store
The special feature is now live at TempoDesignStore.com

Photographer @katkalyska
Born in 1980, Sipho Mabona now lives in Lucerne, Switzerland. He was the first ever foreigner to have his work grace the cover of the official magazine of the Japan Origami Academic Society Convention in 2008. At the Lucerne Theatre, Mabona created his first set design for the premiere of the brass opera ‘Jungle’ in the 2019/20 season.
Through the act of precise folding, Sipho Mabona explores the themes of transformation, transition and transience. Mabona first discovered origami – created using only folds – as a twenty-year-old. Fascinated by this traditional craft, which is based on meticulous procedures and Far Eastern theories and philosophies, the artist began to create an impressive world of figurative forms.
In this fresh body of work, however, Mabona questions the boundaries of painting and sculpture. In a decidedly contemporary take on an ancient art form, he explores new possibilities in the technique, bridging origami and abstract art by rendering interlinking patterns and shadows simply through un/folded canvas. The reliefs included here represent parts of a woman, a dragonfly and a cicada, and serve as a metaphor for agility, elegance and moving beyond limitations.
Mabona’s work is both a contrast and counterbalance for the twenty-first century: although imbued with the history of this ancient Japanese practice, these objects possess a fresh and minimal quality too. - EVERARD READ

EDWARD WOHL
Edward Wohl spent over half a century designing and building award-winning studio furniture, earning him a reputation as a premier American craftsman. In 1982 he built a home and wood shop in the pastoral hills of southwest Wisconsin, and in partnership with his wife Ann founded our current studio, Edward Wohl Woodworking & Design. With the help of a small team of highly-skilled craftspeople, Edward produced hundreds of pieces of custom furniture for clients across the globe.
Growing up with the wood shop as his playground, Jonathan Wohl learned at an early age the satisfaction of working with his hands. After graduating from the university with a degree in interdisciplinary art and technology, Jonathan spent several years in New York City making performative and sculptural artwork with a tight-knit collective of artists. In 2016, he returned to Wisconsin to start a family of his own and to continue working with and learning from his father, joining the family business with the intention of carrying it forward into the next generation.
Jonathan marries a design sense strongly influenced by his father’s work with a contemporary set of tools and techniques.

Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005), with her postmodernism attitude and rebellion against tradition, became a leading figure in the renewal of Danish design in the 1990's, well after her 70th birthday. Very often, her works had a subjective starting point, which was contrary to specific problems to be solved. However, she had a magnificent ability to transform her artistic dreams into very functional and purposeful designs.
Meeting Nanna Ditzel in person led to an irresistible urge to put her furniture in your home. In part due to her unparalleled innovative talent, but also in hopes that her personality would have had a contagious effect on your rooms. At an age when most other people have long since retired, the grand old lady of modern design continued to attract worldwide attention and she welcomed the inspiration that came from new materials and production methods.
When designing the Trinidad Chair in 1993, Nanna Ditzel found inspiration in the elaborate fretwork from the Gingerbread Facades that she had seen in colonial architecture while travelling through Trinidad. Much like the facades, the cut-out fretwork of the chair triggers an interplay of light and shadows, creating a pattern projected into space and a subtle sense of motion.

TRANSPARENT SPEAKERS NOW AVAILABLE
We are on a mission to become the first circular tech brand. We achieve this mission by making timeless, modular electronics that are forever upgradable. We believe products should get better with age and that companies are responsible for removing electronic waste from the world. Being transparent means stopping corporate bullshit and talking honestly at eye level with our users, backers and extended creative community. Transparent signifies that we share our passion and journey openly. Design is often used to put a fancy surface onto something. We want to do the exact opposite. We want to show products as they really are. The main materials of our products – aluminium and glass, are chosen for their ability to last a long time, and to exist in recycled material streams. We are constantly working to increase recycled sources with the aim of closing the material loop. - TRANSPARENT
