Drones, smartphones and computers, in short robotics and cybernetics have significantly changed our daily lives over the course of the past decade. An important role in this process is played by designers. Their objective is to combine the functional and aesthetic side of the designed item or system as expediently as possible.

Exposition Hello, Robot

Digitisation 

Thanks to digitisation, the world of robotics is finding itself with completely different dimensions over the course of a few decades. This often concerns sophisticated solutions to offer people a “smarter” more luxurious way of life or to make their work easier. But this does not concern only robots which are able to clean up after us. They are able to build household appliances and cars etc.  

The luxurious Vitra Design Museum

An exhibition entitled Hello, Robot has opened in the German city of Weil am Rheim in the Vitra Design Museum. This exhibition shows how the robotics trend of today is transforming our lives.

You can meet face to face here with dozens of robots which perform various functions. The exhibition focuses on all aspects of the world of robotics. You will find there the past, the present and also the future of robotics on all imaginary levels. The window on the past is a special exhibit taking you back to the world of robots in the eighties. One of the greatest attractions of the exhibition also comes from this period, the legendary and luxurious robot R2D2 from the world-famous Star Wars.

What else can you look forward to?

You can look forward to 200 luxurious exhibits. The exhibition includes robots which you can find in the ordinary household and also robots from the CES trade fair in Las Vegas which are registering an enormous boom, as well as various machines used in industry, transport and much more. Not even the world of computer games has escaped the reach of robotics.

And if you long to see a work built directly by robots, all you need do is go and have a look at the luxurious and unique bionic awning known as the Elytra Filament Pavilion in Stuttgart, which was built with the aid of robots using the respective algorithms.

I ask myself: “Will the world or robotics ever grow to an uncontrollable level. Could it ever happen that a robot becomes more than a human being?”

A dress which enchants your eye could act as an unconventional canvas for a magnificent work of art. Would you like to wear a dress bearing the legacy of the artist’s brush? Do you like extravagance? There is a reason they say clothes make the man.

A dress as the perfect picture

Dress by Světlana Lyalina, photo by Marina Danilova

The luxury “Paint Me Over” project 

This project was created by the successful photographer Marina Danilova and the designer Svetlana Lyalina. The Russian photographer Marina Danilova created breath-taking fashion photographs in which models are dressed in festive evening gowns, the patterns of which are reminiscent of classical paintings. These luxury pictures were created by a team of seven talented artists, of which the greatest applause – other than to the photographer – must clearly go to the fashion designer Svetlana Lyalina. In the drawings, you can find pictures by the Russian painter Nikas Safronov. 

Marina Danilova, Svetlana Lyalina and Nikas Safronov

This combination means a luxury fusion of art, fashion and photography. It is a combination of three elements in an unprecedented form. Let’s introduce them briefly.

Marina Danilova is a Russian photographer specialising in fashion and weddings. She works mainly in Moscow and has some respectable work with the fashion magazines there under her belt.

Svetlana Lyalina is a fashion designer who also comes from the Russian capital. She gained great attention and popularity in particular thanks to her luxury wedding dresses which she creates in her own salon.

Nikas Safronov is a famous contemporary artist in Russia. The painter captivated the lay and professional public with a series of psychological portraits and later created his own style which is also known as Dream Vision. What is his work like? He most often works with elements of classical painting and collages with interconnection of a surrealist style and a touch of mischief. It was his work which provided the impulse leading to creation of this unique project paying homage to superb creations of importance to modern fashion.

An item of clothing worshiped by women – the dress

Extravagant painted dresses are characterised by depiction of landscapes and architecture. The romantic classicist background metaphorically acts as a luxurious historical library, into which the artist inserts statues and classical pictures which complete the pure artistic expression. Long, voluminous skirts and shaped corsets are a luxurious canvas for the large, textured brush strokes. It seems as if the colours on the dresses reflect the sparkling tones of sunlight.

These works of art immortalised in the photographs of Marina Danilova come from the Moscow home of the master himself Safronov.
