Ni-Tangram
Centro Cultural de Chacao
Caracas, Venezuela 2004
Press File
An artistic installation of playful furniture built on the foundation of interactive design. This idea was inspired by mathematical puzzles made of modular pieces that can be assembled to create different configurations, allowing the user to play with them. The achievement and the ultimate goal of this setup is the creative design that maximizes every space, however small, thus creating alternate seating for the amphitheater of the Chacao Cultural Center.
Spanish for Holy crap it’s a bucket, this project consists of a series of poufs that were designed re-using empty paint buckets. This series of pieces was given to an interdisciplinary team of architects, artists, and graphic and fashion designers, to intervene. A selection of these “cuñetes” participated in the Latin-American Biennial show BID Madrid (2002).
