EVERYTHING FALLS DOWN, THE FLAMES GO UP – TWIN KITCHENS
joss paper twin kitchens modelled after the iconic Frankfurt Kitchen design by modernist architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, handcrafted by artist Nguyễn Đức Đạt and architect Laurent Serpe Material: cardboard, paper, imitation silver leaf, emulsion paint, L-brackets, screws, LED lights Set quantity: 01 Dimensions: 200 x 650 x 180 cm Colour: various tones of green Brand: NDBC Style: Modernist Year of production: 2020 This kitchen is made entirely from cardboard. The finishing details are made from various types of paper, imitation silver leaf, and other flammable materials. Inspired by the joss paper artworks by Nguyễn Đức Đạt and Laurent Serpe, we reconstructed Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky’s Frankfurt Kitchen. Her socially-oriented design was known as one of the first steps in building a better, fairer world towards the tailend of the 1920s. Like the joss paper artisans who recreate iPhones, BMWs, or other items of foreign origin, we have also recreated something useless, but for the living. And, with just one flame.. |
