Η BMW στο φετινό Salone del Mobile, θα παρουσιάσει δύο νέα εκθέματα. Πρόκειται για το MINI KAPOOOW!, μια πολυδιάστατη έκθεση που αναδεικνύει το Paceman ως ένα “συναισθηματικό προϊόν” που σπάει τον κανόνα. Το γλυπτό δείχνει ένα Paceman να πέφτει πάνω σε έναν τοίχο και από αυτόν να βγαίνουν πολύχρωμα χαρτιά που αντιπροσωπεύουν το πρωτότυπο στάδιο της δημιουργικής διαδικασίας.
Το δεύτερο είναι το BMW i Quiet Motion και έχει αναπτυχθεί σε συνεργασία με τους Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Σχεδιασμένο ώστε να τονίζει το i-Brand της BMW, το i Quiet Motion διαθέτει ηλεκτρικές πλατφόρμες από φελλό πάνω στις οποίες υπάρχουν δερμάτινα καθίσματα και οροφή από πολυεστέρα που υποστηρίζονται από carbon κολώνες.

MINI at the Salone del Mobile 2013.The MINI KAPOOOW! installation transports visitors into another dimension with its sheer dynamic power.
Munich/Milan. The MINI Design Team led by Anders Warming, Head of MINI Design, presents the MINI Paceman as a dynamic sculpture during the Salone del Mobile 2013. In the two-part MINI KAPOOOW! installation the MINI Paceman – detached from the traditional design process – crosses the boundaries of space and undergoes a transformation of its materials and forms. The installation is set up in an authentic MINI realm of experience – the MINI Paceman Garage. During the Salone del Mobile from 09 – 14 April 2013, MINI KAPOOOW! @MINI Paceman Garage will act as a launch pad and platform for creative exchanges among artists and designers while offering a wide range of events.
MINI KAPOOOW! A journey of inspiration.
With their creative interpretation of a MINI Paceman, the MINI Design Team headed by Anders Warming conjure up a multidimensional installation that has been inspired by the versatile attributes of the Sports Activity Coupé. The fundamental notion underpinning the MINI KAPOOOW! spatial concept is that the MINI is in essence a very emotion-led product which breaks the norms and boasts a highly distinctive personality. With its sporting agility, the MINI Paceman is poised to leap into a new world in which colours and materials change and open the door to unimagined realms of experience.
The first phase of the installation presents the rear end of the MINI Paceman as a highly dynamic sculpture. It is seen as a real, chromed vehicle about to embark on its metamorphosis. The individual vehicle components seem to fly apart, the colourful threads emanating from it representing this highly energy-charged process. At the same time the MINI is “interwoven” into a greater context and connected with the people whose profiles are anticipated at the front end.
In the second phase the MINI Paceman crosses a boundary in the middle of the room. In this new dimension the vehicle abandons its original form and the front end becomes an idea made of paper, with only its contours now suggested. Through numerous bits of paper and coloured tabs the MINI Paceman materialises into a new physical representation. The use of paper symbolises the “prototyping” of a creative process and as such opens up the possibility of drawing on its two-dimensionality to represent a new three-dimensional sculpture. The aim of this inspirational journey is to present a colourful “wall of fame” displaying not only successful MINI models but also well-known film and cult personalities. Be your own hero – MINI opens the door to this world.
Individual programme for creatives @MINI Paceman Garage.
The upshot of this exciting transformation is the MINI KAPOOOW! installation which will be exhibited in the temporary MINI Paceman Garage during the Salone del Mobile. In addition, there will be a six-day, wide-ranging support programme at Via Tortona 20 which takes its lead from the attributes of the MINI Paceman. Artists and creatives from the design scene will be able to enjoy hot DJ sets, meet and greets, show cooking sessions and the “Starlight Blue Night” – all under the banner of the youngest member of the MINI family: sporting, flamboyant and versatile.
