Culture Shrink lampshades.

Louise Campbell – “Hvorfor? Why? – is the thread not trimmed from your lamp shades?.”

Culture Corporation – “Derfor! There for! – It creates a contrast between the traditional sewn lamp shade and the new shrink plastic material”

Built at Paustian in Copenhagen as part of the ‘Derfor’ exhibition. in association with danish Crafts and curated by Louise Campbell.

Starting with an archetypal chair form, waste and found wood is added on to the bench following the archetype of a basic chair, needing legs, seat and back. Any one can add to the bench with the waste wood. It is a democratic project that cannot be designed in advance. We create the base, there after it is up to the people that use the park to continue where the last person stopped. From initial experiments in scale models we have now started several benches in public spaces around the city and the experiment continues.

60% of bench II was constructed in the garden of our studio by friends. From here it was transported and reconstructed and continued at Paustian.

A Culture Corporation project by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. A starting block is laid and people use waste wood to add to the bench where the last person left off.
