We Love Freedom
A project utilising local skills, pride & passion. By Jeremy Walton. (Københavns Møbelsnedkeri & Mai-Britt Eschen) 2010
Made with Corian, Wool, Old Woollen Jumpers, Pride & Passion. As part the SE 2010 WHITE OUT exhibition.
I’ll cover the longer story behind the chair below, the most important thing about the project for me, was asking if the pride and passion of the local needle felting artisan can be utilised in the process of furniture making? Can local hobby artists be utilised by larger industry? The result of the project is a time consuming Zen like process of drilling holes and then pulling loops of wool through them, followed by the freedom to sculpt wool.
SE – WHITEOUT Exhibition (Copenhagen)
The Cabinetmaker’s Autumn Exhibition 2010. Opens in Copenhagen.
Ordrupgaard 29. oktober 2010 – 23. januar 2011
White is the new black in the Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition 2010, where the theme “Whiteout” refers both to the colour white and to the weather phenomenon, where snow, fog or haze reduces visibility. But the Cabinetmakers´ Autumn Exhibition promises a clear outlook and 38 white chairs measuring 80 x 80 x 120 cm. Again this year, the association´s members and the guest exhibitors have unfolded their playful side and developed 38 innovative prototypes condensed from a sea of snow-white concepts, technical challenges and painstaking detailing.
