Nendo: Ghost Stories
27th February - 28th March '09
Friedman Benda Gallery
515 W 26th Street, NY
Friedman Benda presents Ghost Stories, the first New York exhibition by the Tokyo-based architecture and design group, nendo.
The exhibition will feature forty sculptural works known as Cabbage chairs in a dreamlike interior landscape.
Designed in response to fashion designer Issey Miyake’s call to create a futuristic object that would convey “how man will live in the 21st century”, Cabbage chairs are created without making use of conventional chair-manufacturing assumptions. Hand crafted from the folded paper rolls used in Miyake’s own pleat-making process, the chair makes use of a waste product and proves that ‘by hand’ remains a powerful means of production.
