About the Item

Unique piece of collectible design. Handcrafted modular bookcase. This is a unique piece which is made of fired molded clay blocks. It is a 4 months work at the University of L.A. experimenting with clay. They are connected with metal screws between each other, which are possible to remove, and have different variations and heights of the bookcase. The piece is made by Barcelona-based design studio Turbina and was presented during Design Miami. The 405 project refers to the flow of movement, to the path, to the road. It is through the journey along the road that the human being (re)constructs the territory, understands, organizes his environment and in short, discovers. Developed in the USA during a 3-month home swap with a couple of artists, have made the development of these pieces possible. The title points to the busy Interstate-405, one of the most traffic-clogged highways in the world. Intersections, encounters and the importance of visual and metaphorical aspects of the road as well as the physical experience of movement where temporal and spatial dimensions flow together, are essential elements to understand the true nature of travel and hospitality. 405 project is made from clay slab building in the residency program at CSULB’s Center of Contemporary Ceramics, forcing its geometry and scale through an unusual construction method that pushes the material to its limits.
