About the Item

The Providence Project centralizes under-represented models of production and undervalued resources. Made entirely from salvaged materials harvested from the Providence area, each piece emerges directly from the artist’s surroundings, creating a portrait of Providence as furniture. Materials are collected and harmoniously welded together to uncover a less extractive approach to design. In foraging for materials, the artist seeks non-exploitative design solutions that foreground local communities and reduce environmental harm. The hand painted monochrome finish provides a polished veil for the scrap steel beneath. At once raw and elegant, The Providence Project embodies the city from which it was forged. Lauren Goodman is an artist whose work embraces responsive approaches to the local environment and the communities that steward and neglect it. Her minimalist, delicate design sensibility subtly draws attention to alternative material resources, whilst infusing poetry into the upcycling dialogue. Her work is developed cooperatively with research and education about local communities, land and labor history and Indigenous stewardship, while working exclusively with materials gleaned from her surroundings. Working with waste is the bedrock of Goodman’s design ethos espoused through practice and pedagogical activities rooted in alternative material sourcing. Goodman holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design where she currently teaches in the Furniture Design Department. The Providence Project Salvaged metal chair in Rose is one of a kind and currently available. It has been featured in Wallpaper* magazine’s Next Generation Issue and received a Wallpaper* 2022 Design Award for material innovation. The Providence Project Salvaged metal chair in Rose is in excellent condition. The buyer should be aware that this chair was produced with a hand painted finish that will slowly patina over time.
