Scalo

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:34:00 +0000

Beyond being a multiple-use object Scalo – like many of us – has two souls. Normally it is a wooden monolith, lacking handles or other external protrusions. Only two side openings allow to catch a glimpse of a colourful inner world. Those who see it from this point of view can use it as a sidetable or a stool. To access its other soul one only has to remove from its side a stainless steel lock. This will allow Scalo to open, to rotate and to become a new form, revealing its hidden identity that gives it its name: a small colourful library step ladder (scala) that doubles as a small bookcase. Like a magic key that opens up new uses, the stainless steel lock, once re-inserted in the back of the object, will set it in the open configuration and allow it to be moved around. Beoc and cerruti baleri chose a traditional manufacturing technology to make it precious, with a noble structure of bent plywood that reveals itself on the edges of the internal panels and steps. Scalo’s introverted nature - it doesn’t reveal any hinges or other mechanical component when it is closed - makes it a simple and yet sophisticated character.

YPS (Your Private Shelving)

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:05:00 +0000

This modular storage system is based on construction elements of bridges, and old steel buildings. Chains of diagonal supporting beams, creating strong construction triangles, are fixed on the shelves. The repetition, and flow of the diagonal lines give the system an exciting, and characteristic appearance. The system is expandable with walls, and doors giving the opportunity to create closed compartments customisable to ones wishes.

MoMA Book/Shelf

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:11:00 +0000

Featuring works that transform books through a variety of mediums, Book/Shelf stresses an expanded notion of the illustrated book. The exhibition begins with a documentation of Marcel Duchamp's Unhappy Readymade (1919)—a work created when the artist, while traveling, asked his sister back home to hang a geometry book on his balcony in order to let the wind flip and tear the pages. It continues with works in which artists appropriate books by others, such as a sculpture by Martin Kippenberger made partly of books, and a copy of Duchamp's catalogue raisonné rebound by David Hammons under the title Holy Bible. Artists who tackle the idea of books in film (William Wegman), sound works (On Kawara), prints (Edward Ruscha), and drawings (Steve Wolfe) are represented as well. Finally, the exhibition surveys a number of artists who have created installations that display books in public contexts, including Brian Belott, Allen Ruppersberg, Josh Smith (pictured above), and Lawrence Weiner.

These shelves use the wall to redistribute weight, allowing a wide span with minimal hardware. Segmented compartments accommodated oversized art books and the frame functions as bookends. Like a built-in, that you can take with you.

Embrace

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:25:00 +0000

The original brief was set to design a modern take on the Isokon Penguin Donkey, that was within 10% of the originals dimensions. The outcome was “embrace” an award winning piece of furniture, designed to store modern media such as DVD's, CD’s and Magazines. This smart piece of furniture naturally forms two low modern tables that are then 'embraced' together in order to form a storage unit / magazine rack / occasional table. The flowing curves are produced by laminating plywood, which is then skillfully veneered. Laminating consists of bonding together many layers in order to produce one solid shape. Embrace is available in a variety of materials and finishes. Modeled below in cherry veneered plywood and glacier white corian.
