About the Item

‘Ornamentum 3’ (floor lamp inspired) sculpture made from 6mm lasered aluminium. Designed as part of a collaborative project between spatial designer Orson Van Beek and fashion designer Quinten Mestdagh, consisting of three unique functional art pieces. Orson Van Beek and Quinten Mestdagh aimed to create a new kind of ornamental furniture that touches the boundaries between aesthetics and functionality. The typical historical aesthetics connected to Baroque and Rococo styles are translated into graphic symbols and icons that form the structure of the pieces. With this idea, they created a still life of three objects representing a chair, a table, and a lamp. Orson Van Beek and Quinten Mestdagh desired for the pieces to be excessively decorated, to a point that the actual piece of furniture becomes functionless and that it becomes almost an ornament in itself. The still life of the three pieces is a study and a reflection on how ornamental furniture has evolved, how it can be reinvented, and how it can find a place again in contemporary furniture design. Exhibited in the group exhibition 'LIMBO' at Everyday Gallery, Antwerp.

Belgian art and design, Michel Martens Postmodern Glass Sculpture
By Michel Martens
Located in Antwerp, BE
Belgium; 1970's; Glass sculpture; Postmodern art; Michel Martens, a large glass sculpture with several punctuation marks, colored, frosted, and sandblasted glass. Signed by the artist on the bottom right corner. Belgium artist Michel Martens is famous for his impressive glass art. He created this postmodern piece of art in the 1970s. Martens (1921-2006) was a respected designer of stained glass windows and had an impressive career creating stained glass windows for churches. His credo was 'light is my material, glass my medium'. Martens was an autodidact and first taught himself the technique of stained windows. He designed an impressive 7000 meters stained glass between 1947 and 1989 for churches and monasteries. From 1968 onwards, Martens started to lose the church as a main client and therefore started to develop a practice in which he worked with mirrors that were also suitable for the private sector and private homes. With his radical and modern approach to glass art, Martens became part of the Post-war Abstract Modernist movement. Using mirrored glass opened up new perspectives for Martens. He even started using industrial glass as well, for his so-called 'Crazy Mirrors...
