10.31.20 Saturday Selects Week of October 26, 2020 A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days. This week, a new Instagram auction destination, a contemporary update on Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and an extremely chic razor, for anyone still interested in grooming at this point in 2020. More Excerpt: Exhibition With Degree Shows Cancelled, A Stockholm Museum Offers Students the Chance to Show Their Work With the pandemic in mind, the Stockholm-based Möbeldesignmuseum — which was founded in February 2018 by collectors and design world insiders Kersti Sandin and Lars Bülow — decided to create a platform for final year students from Beckmans, HDK-Valand, Konstfack and Malmstens. Called Ex-Works, the exhibition features work by 23 designers from the four schools, and the curated works are uniformly strong. More Sighted Addition Studios New Collection is Uniformly Great, But You Know We re Here for the Design Futon The work of Ryan Hanrahan, the Australian designer behind Addition Studio, has always given off a slightly mystical vibe, with a healthy dose of incense burners and other ritualistic objects mixed in with his natural material furniture experiments. And while his new Hi End collection still has those elements, the whole venture feels much more earthbound. More Interiors This Spanish Studio Just Took the Checker Craze to the Next Level In Masquespacio's interior for La Sastreria restaurant in Valencia, nearly every square inch of the bar area is covered in a different variation of our biggest trend prediction of the year — checkers — from your standard monochromatic Vans grid to various multicolored takes on the classic harlequin pattern. While it may seem at first like an attempt to become some kind of post-COVID Instagram Influencer pilgrimage, though, the design actually had a completely unrelated objective. More Excerpt: Exhibition In This Banner Year for Outdoor Art, Anders Ruhwald s IMA Garden Installation is a Standout Favorite At Newfields, the gardens that surround the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Detroit-based ceramicist Anders Herwald Ruhwald installed an exhibition of 10 large-scale ceramic works. Titled Century Garden, the sculptures — many of which are meant to hold plants — were tucked into the wilder, more overgrown parts of the garden; though the ceramic surfaces appeared almost tie-dyed, mottled as they were with yellows and blues, tangerine oranges and greens, they were camouflaged amongst the flowers and native plants, creating an uncanny effect. More 02.20.18 Sight Unseen Projects At Europe s Newest Design Fair, We re Presenting New Work by Chen and Kai and Mimi Jung This winter, we're building on a very exciting trajectory that began with our presence at two Collective Design Fairs in New York, and continued when we presented the work of 13 American studios at the London Design Fair this past fall. From March 8 to 11, Sight Unseen will have a booth at the brand-new Collectible design fair, in Brussels, where we'll showcase new lighting by Chen Chen and Kai Williams and new woven works by Mimi Jung. More Saturday Selects Week of October 19, 2020 A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days. This week: furniture inspired by robots, our favorites from the 2020 Design Academy Eindhoven graduate shows, and a carpeted chair by Max Lamb that's apropos for COVID life. More Eye Candy The Texas Jeweler Plucking Sculptures from the Recycling Bin Early in quarantine, way back in April, you couldn't open Instagram without running into a designer teaching a papier-mâché tutorial. Down in Austin, Texas, Sarah Murphy of the jewelry brand Hey Murphy caught the bug, like many of us did, and began making pieces from what she calls "quarantine trash" as a creative distraction and release while she watched TV and drank wine (relatable). "The point was to not create any more waste, so they are mostly made from the contents of our recycling bin," Murphy says. More Up and Coming This Swiss Designer s Unfussy Furniture is Inspired By the Sunshine of His New Spanish Home When Antonius Dreier moved from Switzerland to Madrid just over a year ago, the light and lifestyle in the Spanish city inspired a debut furniture collection from Studio Drei that’s most at home in the spots where the sunshine spills inside. “I think the move has had a great impact on my pieces,” he says. “The culture of this country and its craftwork are very present in my first catalogue.” More Interiors This Abandoned House Turned B B in Athens Is Almost Like Sleeping in a Gallery Filled with designer furnishings and local contemporary art, the new one-bedroom rental property Esperinos is almost like a gallery you can pay to sleep in. "We want people to be able to experience everything that's happening in Greece's art and design culture right now in a more substantial way," says project designer Stamos Michael. More Studio Visit Simone Bodmer-Turner s New Brooklyn Studio is Like a Ceramic Sculpture Come to Life Simone Bodmer-Turner's most recent project, a build-out of her Brooklyn studio, explodes the scale of her ceramic forms. Taking over the doorway and an entire wall adjacent to the former factory’s bright loft windows, she installed a bench, desk, and shelving in textured white gypsum — what she describes as an homage to the Mediterranean-influenced organic architects that have shaped her ceramics practice thus far. More Saturday Selects Week of October 12, 2020 A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days. This week, a VitraHaus redesign with optimal daydreaming in mind, a more modern take on marble, and the IRL opening of EDIT Napoli. More Excerpt: Book This Vintage Mid-Century Primer Provides the Blueprint From Which Contemporary Design Emerged In her encyclopedic 1996 book Fifties Furniture, author Leslie Piña outlines the five styles that influenced the midcentury era: Art Deco, Bauhaus and the International Style, Machine Age Modern, Biomorphism, and Abstract Expressionism. The result, say Jared Blake and Ed Be of Lichen NYC, who chose the book as the last subject of their guest editor week, is something like "basic algebra." Fifties furniture, explains Be, is "a blueprint for a lot of the furniture that we’ve seen in the past twenty or thirty years in America.” More Trends, interviews, home tours, fair reports, and more.
