Siren Elise Wilhelmsen is a Norwegian design student based in Berlin. She wants to make design with personality and humour, products that challenge the meeting between man and his surroundings and that offer a new kind of interaction with them. The mobile seat parasitz, which you can fasten around a tree, is a product shaped in this spirit. It is the result of testing the limits of the chair, searching for new ways and places to sit. Parasitz was displayed at the DMY-international Design festival Berlin this spring and enjoyed public acclaim and international press reviews. Now the seat is travelling around Europe. Next year Siren will finish her diploma at Universität der Künste Berlin. She has been studying there since 2004 and has also been involved in internal works; assisting in the organization of projects, doing graphics for catalogues and planning exhibitions. After her diploma she will continue working with products that can make people smile. Sirens Moleskine notebook: the book is used and the pages torn out of the cover and conserved inside a transparent plastic pillow. Through the plastic you can see sketches, collages, drawings and notes; a documentation of things thought and seen. These impressions, ideas and thoughts were collected over a limited period of time. However, just like the unstructured and cloudy pillow keeping the contents of the book together, the memory of these ideas and impressions will float around in the back of your head and the value of the thoughts will continue to exist much longer than the short moment in which they were formed.
