I’m always fascinated when I find a piece that looks more like a skeleton frame structure than a piece of furniture. I found quite a few of them recently and thought I would share them with you. Let me know what you think.
I find the three items below really quite interesting. To me they very much look like a form of architecture. And think about it, when a designer is creating a piece, isn’t it really a type of architecture? It has to stand up. It has to withstand weight and must be able to spread that weight out so that one part of it doesn’t collapse. PAULE BROCHERE is almost a mini architect in his own right as a few of his pieces definitely move away from the typical box form of furniture design. I love his pieces because they still are functional pieces of furniture, but they are also extremely fascinating designs. So you’re not only adding storage and function to your space but also an element of interest.
This coat rack by MINIFORMS is more like a piece of art. It really is stunning, a beautiful bit of design work. But again, it is still functional; it still serves a purpose other than to just be looked at.
Purposeful yet beautiful design. That is what I’m getting at. Sure we can all just have some typical pieces of furniture to do what we need them do – store and display things. But when you can add something artistic and beautiful to your home in the form of furniture, why say no?
