Although they had set up shop at one end of the BKLYN Designs booth, RAAD studio is actually based in Lower Manhattan. Nevertheless, their piece had a distinctly Brooklyn-DIY quality to it: among the myriad chairs, desks, lamps and other (international) contemporary furniture at the ICFF this year, RAAD’s “Chicken Co-op” came completely out of left field.
It’s more or less what its pithy title suggests: a ritzy take on a chicken coop (and arguably the biggest leap forward in coop design and technology ever), which makes for “a perfect oddball modernist addition to a city terrace or roof garden.” (For the record, it is perfectly legal to raise chickens in New York City.)
Of course, the unconventional piece would scarcely merit a mention if it wasn’t well-executed…
