Wonder Room

Piet Hein Eek & Michael Anastassiades for Roll & Hill May 11 - June 26, 2015

 

The Future Perfect presents the Wonder Room, a curated combination of unique works, collaborations and art by Piet Hein Eek, emerging and established Dutch artists and designers, and new lighting by Roll & Hill (Lindsey Adelman, Jason Miller, Karl Zahn, Philippe Malouin, Paul Loebach), Bec Brittain and Michael Anasstassiades.

Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek’s Wonder Room is an idiosyncratic, highly collaborative space which sits atop his Eindhoven workshop. For the first time, Eek has bought that playful vision abroad, planting a flag at the Future Perfect during design week.

The Future Perfect’s gallery has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind version of the Wonder Room. The immersive installation features Eek’s “Tube Chair” made from discarded, industrial drainage pipes; the “Welded Steel Cabinet” created by welding steel plates finished with an experimental, oxidized lacquer; the original prototype of the “RAG Pipe Table” made from reclaimed pipes; and “Waste Steel” paintings, a triptych exploring the designers use of raw materials in a non-functional way.
