Past/ present, highbrow/ lowbrow, grandma style/ street culture, and "decorated ducks", to quote critic Hal Foster. "Furniture" as postmodern "art" from the 70's to the present. 🪑🪑🪑⠀ ⠀ @virgilabloh on his 2019 show, "Efflorescence"- "To me, design always has the inherent idea of being a bridge from the past, with an eye towards the future." @dezeen adds, "As a 'reflection of our generation', the designs have been spray-painted with the designer's brightly coloured free-hand markings, reminiscent of city graffiti in a bid to evoke 'street culture'" 🌆🛹🚧 ⠀ @moma on Robert Venturi/ Denise Scott Brown's 1979 "Queen Anne Chair", "Blending historic and modern styles with references to high and low culture, Venturi and Scott Brown reduced the elegant shape of an eighteenth-century Queen Anne chair to a flattened silhouette in bent plywood. They also designed the “Grandmother” pattern covering the form, which is based on a mass–produced floral tablecloth owned by the grandmother of one of their employees." 💐🧸🖼 ⠀ #urban #streetwear #grandmastyle #postmodernism #everythinginquotes #virgilabloh #denisescottbrown #queenannechair #robertventuri #furniture #chairs⠀ ⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeo5a_FBAg/?igshid=1c4xh1zqc5yg3
