About the Item

Isla dressing table by MOB Limited editions of 5 + 1 prototype Designer: Ivan Navaro and Courtney Smith (USA) Dimensions: H 154 x D 76 x W 154cm Material: Birch plywood, mirror, white coated light bulb This sculpture is a dressing table. It is inspired by the fusion of Courtney’s work Island, (2009) and a Ivan work Vanities (2017). Both artists have worked together and independently the concept of the dressing table as a solitary station for reflection. Although it is considered an obsolete object today, the dressing table is typically associated with the feminine world, beauty and intimate adornment. The work rescues this rare object with a romantic-nostalgic function, but eliminates the image of the reflected goddess, thus creating an isolated space of deep contemplation. The furniture is constructed by isosceles triangles of decreasing sizes and geometric subdivisions. It is made of plywood, with all exposed surfaces covered in light blue formica. There is a mirror, perpendicular to the main "table" of the vanity with three vials, one at each angle. The furniture has several surfaces but no drawer or cabinet. The dressing table is accompanied by a single triangular bench, which can be fitted into the triangular voids of the main object. MOB is an international design incubator that develops furniture projects designed by artists and architects. Based in Lisboa and Santiago de Chile, MOB aims to invite young creators from different parts of the world to present proposals that confront their points of view around a piece of furniture. Through exercises based on their own local realities, these pieces are located in a global scene and then finally return to the intimate context of their daily use. MOB invites creatives with both emerging and established careers, always under the premise of looking for fresh and particular voices with their own style and challenging their contexts. In this way, they want to materialize personal research into products capable of transmitting the complexity of social and formal thinking. MOB aims to produce commercial pieces that establish connections capable of developing crossovers between multiple places, creators, users, and ideas, through a production model based on commissioning design by invitation, manufacturing and distributing certificated limited editions by MOB ensuring high production standards.
