Chris Wolston’s time in Colombia has spawned new work created by sand casting aluminum and this piece is no different. Featuring an exterior of exuberantly covered tropical motifs - artfully formed in place - the cabinet also features a cane structure. Like earlier collections, the work has a puzzle-like feel with intricate motifs that come together to create a strong visual impact.
Wolston’s new furniture conveys his distinct narrative voice by employing aluminum pieces, based on hand illustrations, to present a tactile and compelling design statement. Drawing on his interest in ancient influences and postmodern fabrication, Wolston - with a new chair, console and coffee tables - introduces a new aesthetic vernacular that offers each beholder a different, almost instinctual translation. His exhibition, Lost in Paradise, debuting at New York Design Week 2018, is an exclusive collection for The Future Perfect.
