根据DieterRams关于良好设计的十条原则,没有什么是武断的,也不可能是偶然的。克里斯托弗·斯图尔特(ChristopherStuart)说,如果我遵循这些规则,这个收藏就不存在了。他的系列家具功能齐全。
斯图尔特的设计方法反映了他对生活的态度,在生活中,头朝未知的方向是向前迈进的一种手段。斯图尔特来自印第安纳州,他在赫伦艺术与设计学院从事家具设计。他在卡梅尔的一家消费电子公司工作,最终为通用电气(GeneralElectric)设计了产品。下岗后,他创办了自己的工作室卢尔(Luur),并出版了两本关于DIY家具的书:一本是他的工业设计研究的高潮。在那里,他发现了像他这样的人,他们用廉价的材料制作他们的创意原型。
今天,他一直在寻找成长的方法,并尝试着他能得到的东西。斯图尔特解释说,在卢尔,我们的工作涉及品牌、工业和室内设计。“它帮助我理解自己想要做什么,也让我看到人们有空间去做完全不同的事情。”
顾名思义,“构造”
每一件作品都包含着一个惊喜:一张桌子的悬臂唇(在它的玻璃顶部下可见);一张长凳上的翻盖,半月形的座椅。斯图尔特说:“我非常喜欢这个设计,因为它超出了我的控制范围。”“这是关于诚实和拥抱这一点的。”
同时在空间展出的是“均衡器”照明系列,这是女士们共同努力的结果。
Hailing from Indiana, Stuart persued furniture design at the Herron School for Art and Design. He eventually started his own studio, Luur, and published two books on DIY furniture. Pictured: Glitch 2
‘Constructs & Glitches’ celebrates distortion. The pieces were created using CAD software, where Stuart encountered program errors. Instead of working around the glitches, which appear as incomplete, irregular surfaces, he incorporated them into the design. Pictured: Chamfer Table 1
Each piece contains a surprise: a cantilevered lip of a table (visible beneath its glass top); a bench’s flip-flopped, half-moon-shaped seat. Pictured: Chamfer Table 2
Being concurrently exhibited in the space is the 'Equalizer' lighting series, a joint effort between Ladies & Gentlemen Studio and the glass artist John Hogan
An assortment of other sculptures by Hogan, featuring his quixotic, phosphorescent glass, are also on display
