Summary:
Not many designers are as well organized as Ed Annink and so apt to leave things to chance at the same time. He arranges combinations of constraints and designs products and exhibitions from there onwards. As a design teacher he handles the same principle. His focus is to let students experience and develop their personal design process. Ed Annink distinguishes himself by the width of his scope. He designs on the run as it were and the objects he creates seem to be of minor importance among the ideas and activities that surround them. Some products take less than a minute to come alive. He can be sketching ideas about material qualities, production, use and image without having a particular functionality in mind and seeks to minimize effort for everyone involved, the producer, the person who makes the product, the one who sells it and the user too. As a teacher he may be maximizing the effort his students must make in order for them to discover what it means to be a designer. This monography, written by Ida van Zijl, Gert Staal, Schwartz and Ed van Hinte (ed.) and including interviews with, among others, commissioners from VITRA and Authentics, describes and analyses Annink's work as an exhibition and product designer, an educator and a project initiator.
