Many Small Cubes by Sou Fujimoto 

 

Architect: Sou Fujimoto 
Location: Paris
Year: 2014
Photographs: Marc Domage

 

"The floating masses of Many Small Cubes create a new experience of space, a rhythm of flickering shadows and lights, as being under the trees."

"The architecture forms one unified element whose balance and stability are carefully designed: the position of each cube and each tree participates to the overall stability, yet reaching a random-like feeling, bringing the whole architecture closer to nature."

// Installation Art + Sculptures by Antony Gormley 

 

British artist Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has been widely exhibited throughout international exhibitions.

The objects hover between being architecture and being an image of architecture. Contained objects in a defined internal space.

In the Ropac Gallery installation, all the lights were removed and the frames were painted with two layers of phosphorescent paint that absorbed light during the day and emitted it at night. In the night-mode the work assumes an unstable position between the virtual and the real.

"Muller van Severen" is another great design export from Belgium.

The design of Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, who are also both practicing as visual artists, is something in between art and furniture. They call it a 'furniture project'.The duo met in Gent, where Fien was studying photography and Hannes plastics. No wonder their collections can be seen as pieces of art and remind of sculptural objects.

The furniture is made of a thin wire structure, that frames the sculpture and has a transparent character. Like 'drawings in a space' thats how the designer like to call it. The minimalistic use of material and construction leads to clear forms and an own timeless aesthetic.

We are pretty sure that we will hear a lot more about their great designs in the future!

If you are also in love with their work, try to step by the new exhibition of their design at Gallery Valerie_Traan in Antwerp till 25 of October!
