One of these days I’ll collect all of my photos of this building as it was being built to show you the evolution of it, but I digress – back to the table: it’s made with aluminium and polyurethane lacquer, and is from a limited edition series of 8, available in black or white in addition to this color. Since it’s in the Chelsea neighborhood where I go see art gallery shows on a regular basis, I watched with fascination over the years as it was being built. It makes sense that I would be drawn to this table, as I am infatuated with Zara Hadid’s 520 West 28th Street (pictured below), also known as the Zaha Hadid Building, which is her only residential building in New York. The piece is titled “Dune,” and was created by Zaha Hadid (1950-2016), an Iraqi-British architect, artist and designer, who is recognized as a major figure in architecture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Table / sculpture titled “Dune,” by Zaha Hadid, seen at the David Gill Gallery booth at Salon Art + Design. On the one hand, perhaps it should just be displayed as a piece of sculpture, but on the other hand, how fun would it be to set it for a dinner party and have your friends gathered around? I didn’t see a label for this piece at the show, but as I’m doing my research today, learning who made it took it to a whole new level for me … scroll down for more. The shape and especially the finish had a huge “wow” factor. I saw this space-age table (below) at the David Gill Gallery booth and was mesmerized. Two light sculptures from the “Totems Over Time” series by Klove, seen at the Salon Art + Design fair in NYC. It is made with handblown glass and metal with a gun metal finish.
The piece below right is titled “Protection Totem” and measures 7’5″ tall and 5’9″ wide. These two are from a series called “Totems Over Time,” and the piece below left is titled “Beauty Totem.” It measures 9’4″ tall and 5’4″ wide, made with handblown glass, metal with an antique brass finish, and onyx. I have honestly never seen anything like these – they have a commanding presence. Prateek Jain and Gautam Seth are the designers who “seek to redefine the way luxury lighting is crafted, perceived, and produced.” They are inspired by the skills of traditional Indian craftsmen, combining that knowledge with contemporary practices and forward-thinking ideas. These items below are not in any particular order in the sense that I’m not ranking them I just wanted to share some things that I thought were really cool and – if money and space were not an issue – I could imagine myself enjoying these things.Ĭheck out these light sculptures by the design team known as Klove.
