KAIROS 20 – OBJECT 20
Object: Licht / Leuchte
Entscheidende und wegweisende Momente gibt es viele im Leben und in der Karriere.
Unser erstes gemeinsames Projekt war ein Wettbewerb für die Gestaltung und Realisierung eines Messestandes. Das Thema hieß „Simple Light“ und es sollten Leuchtenprojekte der Studierenden auf der Tendence 2007 präsentiert werden. Das Projekt war die Feuertaufe für unsere Zusammenarbeit und wurde das Fundament für unser Studio.

KAIROS 20 – A Talk with Besau-Margueare – 20 Participants
Zusammenfassung
Besau-Margueare // Kairos 20
Studio Besau-Marguerre was founded in 2011 by Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau. It is multi interdisciplinary design studio based in Hamburg. They works across the fields of product design, visual communication, styling and interior design.
The city of Hamburg has lots of jobs in magazine when they started the studio. Although they studied in Karlsruhe but they want to start where they can meet new people by their works. Hamburg was the choice of work.
Eva and Marcel formed their studio already from their 3rd semester. And after school, the first project was to design and realize 170m2 fair hall in Frankfurt. It was a very difficult task right after the school with such a big project, but they managed solely alone. The motivation to work in different fields is that they work independently with all interesting subjects from their school in Karlsruhe. They liked photography, graphic and product, then all discipline works together in interior, exhibition, styling and so on.
Their Kairos object is a lamp or the light. A lamp or the light is always consid- ered as the most important theme for their projects. Light is used not only a decorative purpose, but also a materiality of the projects. It is a difficult subject to work on a simple and a good light.
The size of the studio depends on the project, the team can be bigger or small- er, but they have always a small team of 5-6 people. And for the first time they made the team even smaller because of corona crisis.
By corona crises, the scene has been dramatically changed. They worked a lot for the fairs but this moment they are also in progress of finding other solution as an alternative answers. Because the whole industry of furniture has been changed. Trading structures is changed, and presentation is changed. But they want to keep focusing on their strength in production working in Germany and Europe. They don’t want to compromise the cheaper production from Asia.
The experience working with Thonet was surprisingly interesting that the com- pany was very open for the new ideas. They are bit disappointed the company is still male dominated working environment but for their job, it is about having coffee together and getting to know about the brands and products. Because their mission is to transport its brand and identity to the world.
Color is their intuitive decision for their work. Grey is not for fun. Colors are of- ten mentioned with trend, but they are aware of it but it can not be the reason to select colors for their choices. Because the trend is like a ping-pong. People only feel the new colors of the time. It goes only 3-4 years. But their statement is one. It always depends on project by project. Color is for them is a connec- tion to the project and harmony at the end.
At last, their advice to the students is to tryout no matter what. School is like of a laboratory to try everything out your ideas, goals supported by teachers.
