Utilitarian Veneer
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2008. developed together with København Møbelsnedkeri.
Designed as part of the GlobalMadeLocal project and exhibited at SE Fifty fifty.
The unit consists of four open shelves and one drawer unit. The unit has a public facade, consisting of a thick veneer of wood. The unit also has a private side where the facade is no longer necessary and the thick (very thick) veneer comes off and acts as a utilitarian object, a pair of step ladders.
Shelving Beams
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2008. Developed together with København Møbelsnedkeri.
Designed as part of the GlobalMadeLocal project and exhibited at SE Fifty fifty.
From the larger area of the room the beams look to be rough beams, while on the inner sides the beams is open shelving suitable for books, compact discs and ornaments. The beams are quirky sculptural elements that play with the charm of architectural elements normally found in old buildings, while having a functional use and utilising overhead space in a non-heavy practical way.
About Global Made Local
A concept in progress by Jeremy Walton 2008.
GlobalMade Local is a concept, or a working theory, that developed through a 50/50 collaboration between Jeremy Walton and the cabinetmakers at PP møbler for the SE 2008 Fifty Fifty exhibition. The ideology is still in progress, slowly.
If you like the idea of it, or would like to be a part of it, get in touch for further information.
What is GlobalMadeLocal?
GlobalMadeLocal is a global furniture collection that is made locally. It is a community of cabinetmakers (and designers) that share design knowledge to form a global collection of furniture pieces. The GlobalMadeLocal Collection stems from the collaboration of designers and cabinetmakers from all over the world. The final production of each piece is made locally to the customer who is commissioning the piece, irrespective of where the piece was originally developed.
