What happens when a work of art also presents a functional purpose, when a sculpture serves as a piece of furniture.
Artists stress this possible permeability between furniture and sculpture by creating pieces whose functionality vanishes behind form, by increasingly producing limited series, and sometimes even unique pieces.
This change in perspective has been brought about by artists that have rekindled the dialogue between form and function as Danny Lane, David Harber, Ran Hwang, Matt Devine and Richard Orlinski.
