Presented in the context of Salone del Mobile 2016 and displayed at the MSGM Milanese flagship store, the Oriented Strand Furniture series borrows its name from a poor material commonly used in architecture: oriented strand board. Loosely inspired by the expressive golden backgrounds of Takeshi Murakami’s paintings and by the pairing of precious metals and rough elements in some of Ai Weiwei’s works, these pieces evoke the fleetingness of a set, combining transverse geometries with compact lacquering and contemporary irregular textures. In their unique contrast of colors, the metallic basements recall the elegant structure of Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre in Paris.
