Line Drawings 0004 to 0006
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2005.
Plain MDF boxes with dowel pins protruding from the sides. The dowel pins are laid out to represent an archetype of a chair, standing lamp, and table. String is left attached initially to each piece. During the exhibition people drew on the pieces with the string. Each person leaving their own mark, filling in, making patterns, random tying, etc. One person would respond to another, creating often predictable ‘I am going to do something different’ or surprising details of concentration and commitment.

Design and made especially for the SE 2004 – Furniture Haute Couture Exhibition at Danish Design Centre, Copenhagen and Vandalorum Art museum, Smålands Sweden.
A chest of drawers. ‘Memorable. I want this chest of drawers to be what no other chest of drawers has ever been before. I want the concept of the furniture to be what lifts the design into the realm of Furniture Hauteur couture, if this is possible.
If Chests of drawers had dreams this is what they would dream to be.’

Culture Shrink
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2003.
The material is polyolefin that shrinks when heated. The most common use of the material is for electrical insulation. Insulation is an important element of lighting that is most often disregarded and hidden.
The polyolefin comes as a tube and it is not readily available in very large diameters. For the lampshades we cut the tubes of polyoefin to create sheets, these were then sewn together to create a large tube near to the size and shape of the frame.
