I am furniture

Quote

“Bas van Raay works in what he calls “the grey zone between art and design”. A graduate of Eindhoven’s famous Design Academy, he completed his training in Japan at the K&H Architects’ office. As he sees it, an object cannot be separated from what it exudes and transmits. While it certainly does not neglect notions of convenience and well being, his work is highly conceptual and philosophical. He answers the questions “What is a piece of furniture?” with a series of strange objects and structures that tend to erase the frontiers between machine, sculpture and furniture.”
