One piece is a mid-century desk (Kem Weber) has negative space on the "Back" side as display shelves so that it is intended to face the room rather than be placed against a wall.
An intriguing choice for a business office where clients and collaborators are met. Imagine creating a diorama indicative of your practice or simply placing objects and books that you are influenced by and which represent your thinking.
The other item is a wall-mounted display cabinet (John Kapel) with darkly stained, uniquely carved doors that mimick wood grain patterns in 3d.
When opened, it reveals glass shelves in front of a back panel lined with colorful vertically arranged amoebic felt shapes of hot pink, acid yellow, gold, olive and an orangey red. I love the curatorial staff's suggestion: "When filled with glasses and liquor bottles, it would have added a lively spirit to any cocktail party!"
