About the Item

Florian Borkenhagen: „Aufwachraum“ (Wake Up Room) Ready-Made-Design as a complete set: The aptly named “Aufwachraum” („Wake Up Room“) by german artist and design professor Florian Borkenhagen. It’s the interpretation of a chaise longue with reading light, created and curated from an old mobile stretcher, newly laquered und upholstered in lilac ‘Kvadrat’ fabric. The lamp is a classic hospital drip holder, holding a working lantern with orange glass panels. 

The set seems to be a colourful comment to uncertain times, first shown in 2019 in Borkenhagen’s Soloshow „Hot Dock“ in Hamburg. When the design objects were shown in spring 2020 at Galerie antibeige, Frankfurt, the first coronavirus lockdown had just been imposed. And suddenly it seemed like an optimistic outlook to a world afterwards.

Prof. Florian Borkenhagen's works deliberately operate at the interface between design and art. His unique furniture and interior designs often have a sculptural character – but he also developed pieces for german furniture company ‘Tecta’. Borkenhagen has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums in Europe and the USA, including at documenta 8 in Kassel. In the 1990s, he founded the interdisciplinary Laboratorio Como, Italy, followed by working in Paris and Hamburg, where he still teaches design students today.

Upholstered "X-Rays" Daybed, Alain Gilles
Located in Geneve, CH
Upholstered "X-Rays" daybed, Alain Gilles Dimensions: 185 W x 86 D x 40 H cm Materials: Black steel structure, black mat ash handrail, fabric Custom fabric and colors available X-ray is a family of comfortable upholstered pieces: a sofa (2, 3, 4 seaters), a daybed and an armchair. Instead of hiding the structures under fabric, Alain Gilles literally X-rayed the welcoming and comfortable traditional sofa to create a graphic and sculptural range of seats for the home and the office. As a result, the pieces are captivating both from the front and from the back. Design as a second life. After studying Political Sciences and Marketing Management, Alain Gilles went on to work in the international financial world for 5 years. But one has to live his own life. So, thanks to the moral support of his wife, he went back to studying Industrial Design in France. He opened his own studio in late 2007 in order to pursue his own dreams and develop his personal approach to product design, furniture design, art direction and scenography. He has since started to collaborate with several international editors such as Qui est Paul...
