Exhibit nerd time!!! 🤓 The illuminated manuscripts on display at the Cloisters used a very clever method to hold the pages open without disrupting the view. Mylar strapping was affixed to the page below the on on display, while a nearly invisible white thread held open the top pages. Elegant!! I also loved how each case had a cloth cover that can be lowered when the exhibit is closed.

construction
The furniture was aimed to be made as a group - becoming a social way of inhabiting a working art and design space. Most pieces were light enough to be carried by one person - needing 2 or 3 for the lager top pieces to make it safe and not to damage any of it in construction. The colouring of the pieces made it easy to distinguish where pieces went from my 3D plans in Sketch Up. Overall it took around 40mins to construct which I think could be shortened if I designed an installation guide if this was a more commercial product.
Linking this back to my Research in Practice:
Bianca Elzenbaumer studied MA Communication Art and Design and is currently a research fellow at Leeds School of Art. As one of the developers of the experiment when Department 21 built separate chairs to add to their studios, she comments:
‘Inviting people to make seats for Department 21 might also open up the space for them: once you made a seat for the space, you probably feel that you are already part of it.’Elzenbaumer, 2010. Pg 20.
She comments that by making a physical object you could then feel an emotional connection to the place. This creates more of a relationship between person and studio, making you feel part of a community.
Again I see the advantages of using this furniture in an open studio and working environment - creating a social and co-working space.
