Cleve Carney Museum of Art

Recently exhibited at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art, these pieces explore the boundary where functional utility meets sculptural art. The exhibit explores how furniture can transcend its traditional parameters to become an interactive, spatial installation. While each piece employs a distinct formal methodology, both challenge the conventional boundaries of utilitarian design. The Echo Chair utilizes volumetric extrusion, extending a standard profile into an ambiguous mass that provokes curiosity and transforms into a modular, kinetic installation when configured in series. Conversely, the Dooal Chair captures a definitive moment of physical force, where a heavy sphere intersects a structural loop, leveraging natural compression to resolve into a seamless, ergonomic rocker. Together, they demonstrate how a single, decisive design intervention can redefine the relationship between form, space, and the user.
