This gallery furniture for the Figure One exhibition space
in Illinois has a number of faces. It can be configured into a desk for an
attendant, a table, an information kiosk, a desk for two or fold up to lean
against the wall when not in use. The flexibility allows the unit to adapt to
the changing needs of the gallery and exhibiting artists - that might find a
fixed desk limiting or intrusive - while providing unexpected arrangements and
variation for the space.
The inspiration came from the plywood signage the gallery
leans against the wall to announce the names of artists and current shows. When
unfolded, it looks like another plywood sign, but this one has a secret. Small
shadow lines subdivide the sheets into a modular composition of panels that provide
evidence of the structure hidden inside.
Materials of the furniture piece are mass-produced everyday products
that we “misused” and given value through craft and workmanship. The
construction is birch hollow core doors that are stitched back together with
black piano hinges. The doors are lightweight, durable, and correctly sized for
the hardware that is typically found in doorways. Spring-loaded latches hold
the panels in specific configurations to provide stability and lateral support.
The felt interior creates a soft lining for the gallery attendant, offers acoustic
dampening and pinup space for postcards and other gallery ephemera.
