jailbreak (vendôme series) by kram/weisshaar
vendôme is body of work takes a precondition of endless transformation as its point of departure. the idea is to
parametrically generate a family of objects with different typologies including stools, pedestals and tables of
different heights'. for their installation 'jailbreak' kram/weisshaar built a tower using a number of pieces from
the vendôme series which  reached towards one of the prisons skylights.
