The best type of design is the one in which recognisable materials and forms are translated into other recognisable materials and forms but with a twist. Case in point: Dutch designer Floris Wubben’s new ‘Brick’ collection debuting at New York gallery The Future Perfect during New York Design Week 2024 (NYCxDesign).
The exhibition – 9 May to 21 June 2024 – reveals a series of sculptural furnishings in which the experimental talent had reinterpreted and pushed the limits of the ubiquitous building component. Rather than just work with the modular block as it is, Wubben implemented his proprietary, decades-long-perfected extrusion technique to create an entirely new typology of elongated rectilinear and undulating forms.
