Week 19(2023)
Design
Tacchini & Formafantasma
Italian furniture brand and designer-duo collaborate on new furniture pieces that utilise recycled sheep wool to replace traditional petroleum-based foams.
Iridescent Resin
Objects of Common Interest, a furniture/object design studio, collaborated with a Romanian maker who has developed secret formulas that allow him to cast beautiful objects in an iridescent resin.
The resin has now been utilised in a new series of objects and furniture designed by Objects of Common Interest for Milan Design Week. The resin has a unique property that is bent according to the size and thickness of the casting, giving denser objects a more consistent pigmentation whereas thinner castings have a near-transparent surface. You can read more about this unique collaboration here.
Savage Series
Korean designer, Jay Sae Jung Oh was interviewed on Yatzer about her series of sculptural furniture pieces that integrate found objects, the Savage Series.
The works seek to bring the audience’s attention to our current production of household waste and to highlight the need to be appreciative of our possessions in a more considered manner.
Jay uses natural jute rope overlayed the found objects in order to create the new sculptural structures that form her artworks. This creates a contrast between the natural and man-made which is the core of the thesis of her work. You can read a more in-depth analysis at Yatzer.
