'Prehistoric' by Rick Owens at Carpenters Workshop Gallery
9 September - 1 November '13
Carpenters Workshop Gallery will present 'Prehistoric' by Rick Owens at their Mayfair, London gallery this September. Owens', perhaps better known for his iconic fashion designs, has channeled his minimalist style to create a series of monochromatic furniture.
Through his choices of subtle and rare materials, Rick Owens suggests the beauty of nature and develops a contrasting palette of black and white that reflects the designer's taste for monochrome.
Starting with 500,000 year old fossilised wood, Owens reminds us that luxury takes time - his generous use of this ancient wood in contrast with the minimal outcome of his endeavour creates a series of compelling pieces.
It is rare for creative crossovers to be such a success - Lenny Kravitz? However this midcareer spin by Rick Owens shows that fashion intuition can translate into good furniture design.
