About the Item

Object 3 "Vate" Manufactured by Nifemi Ogunro. Brooklyn, 2023. Poplar, Birch. Measurements 32 x 7 x 24h cm 81 x 17,8 x 61h in Edition Unique piece. Exhibitions Global Tools, 11th May - 14th July 2023, Side Gallery, Barcelona. Concept In 2023, Side Gallery reached out Nifemi Ogunro in regards to working together. The designer’s pieces start with sketches that are comprised of lines, and from there, she defines their form to create furniture that doesn’t speak to the norm. Ogunro comments on her collaboration with Side Gallery: “I was curious what it would mean to play with both softness and boxiness while designing for this show. That tension excited me. Tension excites me. I wanted my objects to feel like they held weight visually but also soft enough to be inviting. I wanted to make a series of pieces that made sense apart but could create something special together.” The designer fabricated her pieces by hand, which looked like bags of sawdust being produced, and a lot of bending. With this particular series, she obtains a truly refined aesthetic while handcrafting all of the wood parts. The streets of NYC, as a hauling space, arrive at the gallery and become the home where she escapes. Ogunro’s immediate environment and experiences inform her work. The tight hallways and crowded subways are where she imagines forms, but how her body and skin move through and shift in those spaces, inspires the narratives behind her work. The fascinating human form on its own, the way it bends and folds in space, are all reference points for her work.
