Common Goods & Ephemeral Beauty : An exercise in alternative use, recontextualized materials presented as part of furniture to show the beauty in the common.Sander, Anton January 2023 (has links)
I’m setting out to find beauty in the universal and common. In the used and unwanted. Giving primary value to these components, materials and techniques that are perhaps not usually considered primary or wanted in an interior context. To challenge our conception of what a beautiful piece of furniture can be. This exercise will be presented as nine chairs. Each chair has its own story, about the site and the material. We do not know what the materials of tomorrow will be. But by looking back at our predecessors we can learn a lot. They were not hindered by scarcities, they used what they had and, in my opinion, created beautiful objects that was durable enough to still be around today. Moving forward we will have to be open, and not afraid of change. It is inevitable, let’s embrace the circumstances as they come and make the best out of it then. Beauty will not be lost because we might need to use other materials. Looking back at these pre-industrial pieces, inspired by this ingenuity and creativity comes a new strain of evolution, or perhaps rather mutation. Artifacts that evoke reflection upon preferences, conventional production, the value of objects and beauty.
