UNTITLED 20.20 was born as a love child between my love for video games and my passion for modular furniture. Inspired by some of the shapes from the 80’s video game “TETRIS”, now ingrained in popular culture, I produced a piece that allows the final user to play with, before finding their ideal chair. I wanted to present an artistic piece that allowed the user to create and interact with the media and not only a piece to be seen, following the idea of function over form.
The use of colour and basic shapes were leveraged in order to honour the simplicity from games for kids, and a mixture of contemporary art reflected in video games. The piece takes inspiration from The Eames duo’s ideas, Kohn’s approach to contemporary modular design and, finally, from Gaetano Pesce’s playful approach to furniture. I wish that, by the use of these elements and through the artistic inspiration on my project, the
viewers can see the simplicity and the joy of interacting with the objects, and understand the opportunity that each one of us has to create, regardless of the source of the media we use.
