Vivianne Kollevris - Ribbon Chair
Melbourne Movement designer Vivianne Kollevris will exhibit the Ribbon Chair at Salone Satellite 2013. Milan Italy.
Ribbon Chair exploits the potential offered by high performance fibre reinforced concrete to create a piece of furniture unlike any other. At just 22mm thick, Ribbon Chair utilises the tremendous strength offered by concrete of this type to produce a thin and elegant form, in contrast to what one expects to see from concrete.
Vivianne is a Melbourne based furniture and product designer. Inspired by the beauty and mathematics of geometric shapes, her work focuses on the purity of shape and its potential to become something extraordinary. As a professional structural engineer, Vivianne uses her unique combination of creative and engineering skills to develop distinctive designs that challenge preconceptions on how an object should work, look and feel.

Viviene Chang - Empathik
Melbourne Movement designer Viviene Chang will exhibit 'Empathik' at Salone Satellite 2013 in Milan.
Empathik, designed with an inclusive approach, is a mobility aid for seniors which transforms into a flexible shopping trolley. It challenges conventional approaches to walking frames, by integrating subtle feminine visual cues and is a light weight structure with ergonomic forms adaptable to the human body. The flexibility of the design enables users to adapt easily to surrounding environments and situations.
Vivian is an emerging designer based in Melbourne who recently graduated from Industrial design, RMIT. She has a strong passion for inclusive design, which focuses on benefiting the user. She aims to design for those who are disregarded in society or on the edge, by extending her own design knowledge into different disciplines. Vivian constantly seeks to develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion towards others, which enables her designs to be a reflection of her. Her designs seek to innovate and enhance the delight for human life.
