Christian Wassmann at R 20th Century
5 March - 20 April '13
Designer Christian Wassmann exhibits at R 20th Century's downstairs space. The exhibition features objects, furniture and drawings inspired by five unique geometric forms, the platonic solids.
“Each of the five objects in the exhibition is based on one of the five platonic solids – tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron – a series of symmetrical polygons with four, six, eight, twelve, and twenty faces, that have been a source of wonder among artists, philosophers, and designers since antiquity.
Over the years, Wassmann has experimented with these forms in material studies and devised five pieces, each of which serves at least two functions. All of Wassmann’s work encompasses a philosophy that design and architecture do not necessarily abide by the Modernist ideology ‘form follows function’ — rather, they present how ‘form performs function.’”
