rich brilliant willing: pro forma
rich brilliant willing: pro forma
volume gallery, chicago
march 18th to april 3rd, 2011
'5.69 ft³' made from smoked glass and bleached white oak
15.25 x 48 x 15.75 inches
edition of 16 + 2 artist's proofs
'for the sake of form' the first solo exhibition of manhattan based product and furniture
design studio rich brilliant willing (theo richardson, charles brill, and alexander williams, RBW)
opens today at the volume gallery in chicago. drawing inspiration from the forms of air-shipping
containers, RBW has taken these icons of globalization and transposed them onto icons of the home:
the credenza, the coffee table, the bookshelf, side table and cabinet.
the volume gallery is an event-based gallery with a specific focus on emerging
contemporary american designers.
'11.6 ft³' made from cerused oak, powder-coated steel and bleached white oak
65 x 20 x 20 or 24 x 60 x 20 inches
edition of 12 + 2 artist's proofs
the process of abstracting the beveled edges, specifically used for fitting containers into round fuselages,
and translating the forms into brass, leather, and american hardwoods reveals what RBW
considers 'the transient idea of the contemporary home.'
'3.09 ft³' made from brass, leather, and bleached white oak
24 x 20 x 14 inches
edition of 16 + 2 artist's proofs
'8.87 ft³' made from birch plywood, powder-coated steel and bleached white oak
36 x 40 x 16 or 44 x 30 x 16 inches
edition of 12 + 2 artist's proofs
'2.62 ft³' made from blackened steel and leather
8 x 50 x 12 inches
edition of 16 + 2 artist's proofs

clumsy design
nicely made 03.18.11
Do they break down or something, all the joints look like they are about to slip?
gimmy 03.18.11
actually rather refreshing
dbkii 03.18.11
refreshing, gives a little dynamic quality to normally banal furniture
ocelot 03.18.11
a bit star wars...
han solo 03.18.11
very nice! I agree with gimmy though, the joinery is looking shoddy. Not the finest craftsmanship.
DES 03.18.11
Banal. Sorry. Too much Rich, Willing and not enough "Brilliant". It's a reference to the feel of luxury airline travel? It's a DIY chamfered box. Boring.
NewYork 03.20.11
Gorgeous!
