Single Spectator by Freia Achenbach

About the Item

Single spectator by Freia Achenbach Limited Edition of 25 Dimensions: D 58 x W 33 cm x H 68 cm Materials: resin, sand, foam The Single Spectator is part of the Spectator Shelf family, which is characterized by its amorphous shapes which at second glance indicate different faces. When a sensory stimulus is offered to our perception, the spirit accepts this piece and completes what is missing. By recognizing the faces in the object, the role between subject and object is reversed and the shelf is moved into the position of the observer. It consists of a single element, which can be used as a small cabinet or side table. Each piece is handpainted with resin which gives each shelf a unique and vibrant finish. Freia Achenbach is a Stuttgart-based object, furniture, and spatial designer. Her approach allows movement between disciplines and playfully explores material, form, and colour. In her work Freia Achenbach experiments with a wide variety of materials and both traditional and innovative manufacturing processes. Her objects always tell a story and bring a certain ambiguity with them. All objects are handmade and/or created in collaboration with small manufactories. She produces objects as unique pieces as well as in small series and realizes commissioned works for customers. Since 2018 she has been collaborating with June Gschwander and Carlo Kurth under the joint design studio anima ona. She has completed projects with a range of clients including Fondation d´entreprise Martell, Kunstverein Böblingen e.V., GRDXKN structure printing, Studio Saje, Moncomble Paris, Centre Pompidou.
