About the Item

SC.45.120.AC.BL.1 (2") surface by MOB Limited editions of 15 + 1 prototype Designer: BAST (France) Dimensions: H 45 x D 120 Material: 12mm steel sheet, steel structure, white powder coating It is a circular surface, 45 cm tall, 120 cm in diameter, made with 2” steel angles and laminated sheet surface, with white powder coating, and a leveling foot on each leg. Its design is simple and generic, it is proportioned so that its use is ambiguous, and it works as an almost temporary piece to test different spatial dynamics. This piece of furniture is part of a larger research project, started in 2013, about made-to-measure furniture that allows users to test different spatial dynamics without having to hire an architect. Four years ago, we opened a space called MUEBLES SULLIVAN where we sold this pieces. It also worked as a cafe and karaoke bar, and we used it as a public extension of our architecture office. 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.
