It's from an exhibition called Catalog that consists of 5 sculptures made from Ikea products. He says, "The Catalog (Blue Tables) are made from Lack tables, each one is cut and reassembled and includes a motorized leg that tilts the table gently up and down. The result is a wave-like motion.
Another piece, also part of this exhibition, an 8.5x11 foot section of "crumpled" Kvist bamboo floor. Sadly, I think Kvist will be discontinued. The piece also includes three live stalks of Dracaena 'lucky bamboo' that I picked up at the IKEA marketplace."

ReplyDeleteCan I vote for Hack of the Year for 2009 already?
ReplyDeleteIkea has been on my mind for the longest. I need some magazine file holders in black soooo bad!
ReplyDeleteThese looks great. Getting a vibration mode is not as an task.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Kate
wow really good idea
ReplyDeleteHe felt for a typical missinterpretation, Lucky Bamboo has nothing to do with real Bamboo.
ReplyDeleteBut the floor looks funny.
@lichterspiele maybe that was his point!

Allie, I agree.
ReplyDeleteHis projects are a trip - go look at the rest of them. Some of the videos aren't active anymore, which is a bummer. I dig the simulated "shore."
Wow those sculptures are phenomenal. I really like the Kvist floor one, it's such a good idea. The bamboo makes it really quirky which i think is brilliant. I tell you if they ever sold any of those in ikea i'd be the first to buy one! Thanks for this brilliant post :)
