Hand Carved Caverns
Posted in: UncategorizedC’est au Nouveau-Mexique que l’artiste Ra Paulette a sculpté et gravé à la main les cloisons d’une grotte rocheuse par de superbes motifs organiques. Un travail inattendu qui s’est étalé sur dix longues années, invitant les visiteurs à se perdre dans ce labyrinthe creusé par la nature et à admirer les motifs de l’artiste pour longtemps gravés dans la roche. Une oeuvre insolite à découvrir en images.

Thomas Pedersen's 21st-Century Take on Mid-Century Modern Seating
Posted in: Uncategorized
ID History caps on: Is that the work of the Eameses? Arne Jacobsen? Eero Saarinen?
Nope, these chairs are all by modern-day designer Thomas Pedersen, whose quest to create comfortable, multi-positional seating has led him towards the flowing lines favored by the aforementioned giants. Yet Denmark-based Pedersen still manages to inject original flair while channeling mid-century modern.
That’s been his quest since 2002, when Pedersen was a senior at the Aarhus School of Architecture. For his final project he came up with the StingRay chair. “I wanted to make a swivel chair with lots of different sitting positions,” he writes. “The stingray-like shape came into being as a result of the functionality.” Pedersen crafted it out of fiberglass in the school’s parking lot (they lacked facilities/shop space for working with fiberglass) and eventually went with a rocking base.
In the years since, the StingRay has gone into production, won a Red Dot Design Award and Pedersen has set up his own firm in Denmark called Spark.
His follow-up Concord chair is a more sober version of the StingRay, done up in leather or fabric. It was reportedly inspired by the supersonic passenger jet of the same name. It’s also a bit more mechanically sophisticated than the StingRay, as it both swivels and tilts.
