One + Eleven Concept Furniture
The new furniture brand One Plus Eleven has been founded by two designers originally from Moscow. They moved to Berlin 15 years ago in order to establish their Design Studio RedNord. Last year they decided to found additionally One Plus Eleven.
Hence One+Eleven is the reflection and interaction of two creative minds. With the experience of 15 years in the field of interior design Milena Bellich and Wim Yanov just perfectly know how to combine art and functionality. Their vision of a movement in the design branch aspired the duo to establish one+eleven. The two designers are living with the idea to convert unique and distinctive concept furniture into reality.
The origin of concept furniture can be traced back to concept art. Designers’ ambition is to expand concept art by combining object art and furniture. Limited series of masterpieces is the result of the interaction between art and traditional craftsmanship. The observer should inspire himself with the help of the objects.
The evolution of an original idea, through detailed design and final production results in completing a prototype. The baseline for this journey is the original idea, which is the most important step of the process. The prototype is a simplified test unit, which can both be seen as a pre-series or as one of kind unit. The name one+eleven reflects the pre-series and following eleven production units. At one+eleven the prototype is always the starting point for further development and the manufacturing of the design line, always limited to eleven units.
One+eleven is still in the beginning of its career in the design business. This year it already participated for the first time at the ‘Maison & Objet’ exhibition in Paris. During this event, it was one+eleven’s goal to let their concept furniture speak for themselves.
Here they won the ‘Les Découvertes’ award as the debutant with the most innovative creations. They also participated successfully at this year’s Cologne Furniture Exhibition ‘IMM’. Furthermore, they will be present at the 100% Design Festival in London from 19 to 22 September such as the next ‘Maison & Objet’ exhibition from 18 to 22 January 2019 in order to present their objects.
