This book presents the design examples from a project called Static!, that was led by Interactive Institute and funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, as well as perspectives on issues in (sustainable) design today. Grounded in passion and humor, as well as rigor and research, the book asks designers and consumers – that is, all of us – to rethink the form, and future, of electricity in the world around us. Static! explores design as a basis for increasing awareness of energy. Familiar furnishings and products have been reinterpreted to materialize electricity, to make it more visible and tangible for people. The resulting series of conceptual design examples express the poetics – and politics – of everyday electricity consumption. List of product participants and extensive references.

Though Nanny Still has worked increasingly in an international context, she has retained her distinctive Finnish qualities. She is noted for her unparalleled sense of beauty, simple and organic sources of inspiration, refined composition, and her perfect adaptation of technical processes to optimize the desired effects. As a testament to her talent, her Harlequin – a “charming liqueur carafe with its round, globular forms” – has become a classic work of Finnish design. This important exhibition presents both her older works in a variety of materials, and her recent sandcast sculptures, many of which were inspired by mythological themes.
