Draft:Patrick Rampelotto

  • Comment: "He privileges materials " makes no sense? Are you translating material? Theroadislong (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: • The footnotes aren't placed correctly, see MOS:PF for where to place footnotes.
    • Please use proper adjectives when required (i.e., please use an uppercase A in Austrian).
    • References 1, 3, and 8 refer to the same source, which happens to be an interview and thus not an independent source.
    • Reference 2 refers to a source that allows to submit content, thus, it is not an independent or reliable source.
    • Reference 3: See 1
    • Reference 4 refers to a book, but it isn't cited properly (see WP:CITEHOW)
    • Reference 5 refers to Der Standard, but the article published there is an MAK editorial; now I'd argue that it's definitely reliable, but I would argue that it cannot be used to establish notability.
    • Reference 6 refers to an announcement for the Vienna Design Week; this is a weak source but one that has a potential to indicate notability (someone whose work is presetend at a notable design fair is not unnotable).
    • Reference 7 Refers to a product page and is totally unsuable for a Wikipedia article as a source.
    • Reference 8: See 1
    • Reference 9 refers to a Die Presse article that discusses Adolf Loos; this is a reliable and citable source, but it doesn't discuss this draft's subject. Therefore, it cannot be used to establish notability.
    • Reference 10 refers to an interview
    • Reference 11 and 13 are the same; see 2
    • Reference 12 refers to an announcement that the subject holds a lecture; not a source
    • Reference 13 and 11 are the same; see 2
    • Reference 14 refers to a Der Standard article; the article is a proper source, but it only mentions the subject once and doesn't discuss him. Not indicative of any notability.
    • Reference 15 refers to an ORF article; while it contains parts of an interview with the subject, I'd argue that it's a reliable source that does count towards notability.
    • Reference 16 refers to an announcement for one of Rampelotto's exhibitions with the MAK; not a source
    • Reference 17 refers to a Die Presse interview series; I wouldn't even consider this source.
    • Reference 18: See 6
    • Reference 19 refers to an MAK search page and doesn't contain any information related to the subject.
    This draft cites not a single fully independent source and except for the [5] and [17], none of the sources are really that useful. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 16:41, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The tone is not quite encyclopedic and the sources need proper formatting. Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 20:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Patrick Rampelotto is an Italian designer (born in 1978 in Vipiteno/Sterzing) currently living and working in Vienna, Austria.[1] He completed his studies under the supervision of Borek Sipek at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and worked for the Austrian design studio Eoos before starting out as an independent designer.[2][3] While he also produced fashion accessories and designed shops, his practice focuses on furniture design.[2] He works mainly with materials such as glass, silicone or felt in combination with traditional manufacturing methods and high-tech production.[2]

Industrial design edit

Rampelotto designed the "Pilot" for Quinze & Milan in 2011 with Fritz Pernkopf. This bar stool can be assembled without tools; the wooden legs can be screwed directly into the seating surface.[2]

The name "Pilot" refers to the origin of the chair: a pilot project involving the realisation of a small piece of furniture showing the new manufactural possibilities that offered a material (foam-filled polypropylene) that is very seldom used in mass products.[4] The specifics of the manufacturing details of the "Pilot" are described in the book "Chair Anatomy - Design and Construction" issued in 2023 by Thames and Hudson.[4]

Rampelotto has also designed products for companies such as Lobmeyer.[2] His "Plic" jewellery box is made out of cristal, incorporating a high-tech lens that works as a magnifying glass.[3]

His "Twix" bistro set won the Big See wood design award in 2022.[5]

Collectible design edit

Rampelotto's practice involves the reinterpretation of past works of art. For instace, he made a daybed out of a sketch of a house Austrian architect Adolf Loos had planned to build for Josephine Baker.[6]

The experimental use of trophy cups contributes to Rampelotto's cultural piracy practice. His trophy lamps have been exhibited internationally.[7][8] He also created a fashion accessory (a necklace holding a USB Stick) out of discarded trophy parts.[9] In December 2022, Rampelotto created a wall installation for the Museum of Applied arts of Vienna in collaboration with Austrian artist Peter Sandbichler.[10]

His solo show at the Museum of Applied Arts of Vienna displayed experimental works under the title "Adventures in Foam". The exhibition featured his "Pilot" chair designed for Quinze & Milan with Fritz Pernkopf, chairs and lamps made out of polypropylen foam, the "Plic" jewellery box he designed for Lobmeyer and a video incorporating quotes of the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss' book "La pensée sauvage".[2]

Rampelotto's creative misuse of industrial techniques and materials has been compared to the creative misuse of PETG co-polyester threads in the practice of designer Tom Dixon.[11]

Several works of his are part of the permanent collection of the MAK - Museum of Applied Arts of Vienna.[12]
