Titled a href=”http://www.friedmanbenda.com/exhibitions/2010-03-04_joris-laarman-lab/”‘Joris Laarman Lab’/a, the show spans work from the last 5 years and has enough mirror-polished surfaces to rival Ron Arad’s a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/ron_arad_guarded_thoughts_exhibition_photos_new_york_11663.asp”‘Guarded Thoughts’/a shown in the same gallery just over a year ago./p

pLaarman’s beautifully engineered furniture is displayed on stainless tables with cad-like grid patterns etched into them, set against life sized sketches and notes scrawled directly onto the walls. A swooping trail of over sized paper planes reaches out like a massive tentacle leading visitors through a world of mathematics, mad science and tech-noir perfection./p

pHighlights amongst the work included; ‘Leaf Table’, a resin table top with an embedded steel vein pattern, ‘Asimov Chair’ a fully functional futuristic rapid-prototyping concept, and an impressive 5.6 meter high glass and concrete tower ‘In Case of a Thousand Books’./p
