Strip tease: Designer peels back the layers
Sydney – Australian designer Tonia Bell has produced a line of furniture called Nine Lives, tearing off layers of upholstery and wood from existing chairs, couches and tables to create new aesthetics.
Stripping down the individual pieces gives them a new identity and acts as a statement on how necessity can produce impactful works.
This kind of counterintuitive design is typical of the Anarconomy Decade.
