Nature unfiltered is never perfect.In this spirit,a select group of designers have been tapped to showcase new work that highlights a material or process in its most natural,unfiltered state.
American Design Club called on designers with one question:If your process became Raw+Unfiltered,what kind of object would that yield?The result is Raw+Unfiltered,a gallery show at the Heller Gallery in New York City,featuring forty-four pieces from both established New York designers and newcomers alike
The pieces in the show run the gamut from Taylor Mackenzie Veal's Reed Bench,a sturdy,lightweight bench made from reeds to Michael Dreeben's elegant,origami inspired metal bowls.Other highlights include Fort Standard's Spru Candelabra,the Salt Salt Shakers from Andie Olive,Cat Merrick's tire track relief bowls,and Brendan Keim's striking Dim(Some)Chandelier,among others.
"The AmDC believes in an unfiltered and open process to everything we do,"commented Kiel Mead,co-founder of American Design Club."The approach maximizes the potential for amazing things to happen.We believe in hours of hard work being undone by moments of inspiration,and vice versa.An unfiltered process,in our eyes,is one that leaves nothing hidden and nothing unexplored."
