"Bamboo Park," Rattan Bamboo Staircase,

Rattan bamboo staircase with a total length of more than 100 meters and a width of 15 meters. The main body of the stairs uses steel structure, rattan and bamboo.

The rattan and bamboo staircase adopts the ancient Sichuan manual tradition to make and polish, focusing on the application of natural materials and exquisite craftsmanship. 

Rattan and bamboo stairs are usually made with sustainability in mind. Bamboo grows quickly and is renewable, so the use of this stair material helps reduce reliance on limited resources.

Gaetano Pesce (8 November 1939 – 3 April 2024) 

Pescetrullo, Carovigno, Italy,

Italian artist Gaetano Pesce was commissioned to interpret a hectare of olive trees in Carovigno countryside, in Puglia, Italy by creating a series of playful holiday homes.

Commissioned by Caterina Tognon of Caterina Tognon Arte Contemporaneo, the two mini houses are the portrait of the gallerist and her husband with faces full of expression – pink for her and blue for him.

Together with architects Gabriele Pimpini and Cosimo Cardone of Studio Talent, Gaetano Pesce created a playful example of contemporary architecture in a context saturated in history, effortlessly straddling the worlds of visual art and contemporary design.

The houses are clad in tinted polyurethane, a versatile material readily used for insulation purposes. Pesce’s work has often concentrated on the research of new materials, having experimented with polyurethane since the 1970s.

‘Pescetrullo’ has become one of the most innovative examples of polyurethane used in a permanent architectural setting, which affords the houses with passive thermal properties. As a result, they require virtually little heating during winter and conversely, cooling in summer.

Rest in Power !

Govert flint's "SPRING" chair

SPRING is a chair made from a single material. It is extruded from two sheets. With a powerful hobby like kite surfing the sheets can be extruded into a chair volume.

SPRING chair is produced as part of Better Factory, a program by the European Commission. Design studio Enrichers also worked alongside furniture manufacturer Antares Romania to develop strategies to look into how furniture manufacturers can make their portfolio’s ready for circular economy.

The Vintage of Abiezer

A vintage metal sculpture from Planet Earth Art Gallery on display at Novotel Hotel in the city. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

We had thought it was a real vintage car but was amused, upon a closer look, to find that it was actually a metal sculpture, with which together with others, Planet Earth – an art gallery focusing on sustainable art – had planned “to start important conversations about the environment through metal sculptures and innovative art pieces.”

The background in the original image was quite busy so that was converted to black and white in post.

SKINS // SHELBY JOY // THICKET

This was a custom Skin made with a lot of the mesh sliced brown paper paper they wrap my pasta sauce jars with at the grocery store. You know what I’m talking about? I love packing supplies. I

Anyway this one is paper and glue that’s been dotted with flowers and pigment, then dried, peeled and worn.

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

Outfit of the Day! | 30.09.24

Little bit of a whole week in review, sorry! We’ve been busy researching and getting the ‘Body Sculpture’ brief on the move. Also my hair is purple now, even if the photo is terrible at showing it.

Metadata:

-1/2 upcycled

So what exactly is the focus of this brief? ‘Issues that concern you’ was given as a prompt to stimulate our focus.

On Monday, I made the decision to focus on an objective I call ‘suffocation’. In a more detailed explanation, it’s the idea surrounding the restriction of your own effort. The pressure and expectation to preform to the best of your ability and the hazards that poses to the self when you’re almost pouring out your soul.

Visual stimuli includes smoke, steam, vapour, exhalation, etc.

I was inspired by the meticulous work Robert Treece (a painter and not necessarily an entirely relevant reference for 3D sculpture) to use acrylic paint to at least draw out the desired spiral shapes in paint from my steam references. This eventually lead to a break through in use of material as I am now considering painting onto transparent material.
