'les french' by studio glithero


london based studio glithero are currently displaying their new works
'les french' at gallery fumi, london.

les french is a project of two parts. studio glithero first created
ad-hoc configurations of bamboo, binding the joints with wound
string. those frames were then sent to a bronze foundry and
through a process of loss material casting, the fragile and unlikely
structures were transformed to structural and permanent casts
in bronze.

for the top part, with no predetermined idea in mind, the designers
built the functional volumes of the furniture in response to the
bronze pieces. underlining the friction in permanence and value
that takes place in the casting process, they wrap a lightweight
fabrication in gum-paper strips.

the exhibition will be on view until june 7, 2009
