ramon coronado: mercado negro
'mercado negro' - chair, lamp and table
LA-based designer ramon coronado's project 'mercado negro' - which means
'black market' in spanish - was a 12-week long project which dealt with reclaiming mundane
objects, disassembling and transforming them into new pieces. coronado took apart
shopping carts and reconstructed them into a swing, chair, table and lamp.
the work is meant to comment on the lack of parks and functional recreational spaces
within los angeles.
