Conversation Piece 2015

Carpenters Workshop Gallery is presenting Vanishing Point, a new series by Dutch designer Sebastian Brajkovic for Design Days Grand Paris this week. The cashmere wool fabric is luscious. The pieces are playful and irreverent, making them rather exciting. More sculptural than functional in most cases the designer is drawn toward the ‘blurred effect’ of twisting and distortion in the work by Francis Bacon and employs these ideas in his designs in an effort to reveal their complexity. The pieces seem to pull the viewer through time – simultaneously referencing 18th century French furniture and the 12th century expanding circular growth theory by Fibonacci  while creating a contemporary viewer experience.
