Designforum Wien provided some previews of the upcoming exhibition of lifestyle objects by Slovenian designers under the title 'The Future Of Living' (Die Zukunft des Wohnens) from 5 March until 25 April at Museumsquartier in Vienna. It's announced that more than 40 objects will be on view. All of them have received the 'Made in Slovenia' quality label which was initiated by the Center za Kreativnost (Centre for Creativity) located at the Museum for Architecture and Design in Ljubljana. At czk.si/en/events/future-of-living-vienna/, the participating designers of the exhibition in Vienna are listed with an introduction into the selection of products after the criteria used materials and production methods: "We've highlighted stories of small brands that express functionality, a passion for life and nature, innovative ways of using local materials (wood in particular), and new production methods based on regional craftsmanship and advanced sustainable production technologies."

Image, preview of the upcoming exhibition 'The Future Of Living' at designforum Wien, 5 March - 25 April 2021: The wine cabinet 'Wine Studiolo' by 'Vulgaris' is inspired by renaissance cabinets. The name studiolo references a desk which is filled with books and writing utensils. 'Vulgaris' turned it into a wine cabinet. Outside at the doors on view, a man and a woman kissing each other. The illustration in the style of renaissance drawings shows a signature graphical motif of Vulgaris which can be found at several pieces of the current collection (fast checked today at vulgariswoodcut.eu): Female breasts, applied as repeating all-over pattern. Vulgaris consists of Nina Koželj, sculpturer and graphic artist, and Manca Kemperl, wood engineer. At the website, the designers explain the meaning of the motif. It's a symbol for fertility dating back to prehistoric times. Photo: © Vulgaris, Nina Koželj/Manca Kemperl.
