Contemporary, bohemian and Organic Shaped Teak Mwasi Armoire

About the Item

Bina’ means ‘Dance’ in Congolese Tshiluba. Tshiluba is one of the languages alongside three other native languages spoken in the DCR. The chair is made out of teak, the back of handwoven raffia rope and its weight is held by a river rock stone. Even though the chair would perfectly hold without the stone, I was inclined to play with the concept and appearance of balance. This is the first piece I designed for the Kasai series. "Kim Mupangilaï is a Belgian-Congolese, New York based Interior Architect and Designer. Inspired by her own heritage and roots, Kim's work is reflective of merging cultures. She aims to bring a unique perspective and insight that encourages fresh discourse within the design world and beyond.

Contemporary with dynamite exploded 'Lose control' Steel Cabinet
Located in 1204, CH
One-of-a-kind Sideboard. The object is made from a Metal Volume that has been spontaneously shaped by an explosion, and hand treated to reach a soft touch. Part of a series of three furniture pieces, Metal Volumes have been exploded at various energy levels in a sequence of crafted detonations. These elements have been treated to reach a completely unique aesthetic and feel. The process and the inherent uncertainty of the outcome is a defining element of the work. The production of the explosions takes place in the Portuguese countryside with a team of explosive ordnance experts, and has been recorded into a film directed by Frederico Velez. “We are not able to control anything but our attitude regarding life, and even that is at some point uncontrollable. Lose Control is a liberation of energy, a constructive loss of control”. Born in Romania in 1986, Mircea Anghel...
