J 1 Studio
April 20th, 2010 | home, local (L.A.), sculpture, design | 1 Comment »“The concept was to create furniture for modern nomadic culture. It is easy to setup and pack flat for space saving transportation. The first approach was to get rid of screws. This also gets rid of the tools in assembling the furniture. T.SHELF uses cable and zipties to tie every triangle into one piece of furniture/sculpture and functions as displaying books, magazines, plants, pictures, or anything you want to display.”
I love that these can so easily be transformed into sculpture and/or functional object. I especially love the T Shelf and the M Stool. The use of zip-ties may seem a bit declassé, but if you want to change things around easily, they’re kinda perfect.
