B.D - 03.05.2012
Intuition, Dynamism, Creativity, Variety, Audacity. Briefly, Design Indaba is strengthening its presence among the most important design events in the world. Again this year, Ravi Naidoo and his team invited us to discover the universe of the most amazing sensory, visual, taste and presented the creative people conscious of the state of our beautiful planet.
And our 12 favorites this year are:
Sissel Tolaas
Dubbing herself a “professional in-betweener”, scent expert Sissel Tolaas has been working at the intersection of smell and language since 1990.
With smell as her medium, Tolaas’s work explores how different smells can be described, how smells are remembered and measured, how the information in smells can be used and how abstract smell molecules can be employed to convey a specific learned meaning.
Born in Norway, but currently based in Berlin, Tolaas studied mathematics, chemical science, languages and visual art in Norway, Poland, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Tolaas uses various aspects of science, art and design to research and create works that relate to the human experience of smell. Her work asks questions about how smell can be an information unit combined in communication systems with other sensory information.
In 2004 Tolaas founded the SMELL RE_searchLab in Berlin, with support from the International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. Her research has won international recognition in the form of scholarships, honours and prizes in Europe, North America and the East.
Recently Tolaas was a founding member of the International Sleep Science and Technology Association.

Tsai is one of the co-founders of the NGO Shoebox Homes, as well as a committee member of the Cape Town Design Network.
Massoud Hassani
Born in Afghanistan in 1983, Massoud Hassani moved to Holland in 1998 in search of a better life.
Having adopted a new lifestyle and cultural habits, Hassani decided to pursue a creative education at the Design Academy Eindhoven. His creative talents had already emerged as a child in Kabul, where he would make all kinds of toys, sculptures and paintings.
Hassani’s 2009 research project focused on air, fire, earth and biomimicry, the result of which he turned into products.
One such product is the Mine Sweeper, a landmine decommissioning device that takes its inspiration from a childhood toy. Mine Sweeper is a wind-blown, bamboo-spiked ball that loses spikes with each landmine detonation. A GPS built into the Mine Sweeper tracks the landmines back to a website to help track a safe course.
As a child in Afghanistan, where there are literally millions of landmines and the Mine Sweeper is Hassani’s solution to this problem.
The project has won several prices and is nominated for the Design of the Year 2012 by the Design Museum in London. Hassani’s latest project is a series of cooking products called “Silk Cooking”, inspired by Afghan traditions.
