Design or art hero: “It’s almost impossible to narrow down. With the images above, it was Donald Judd (form), John Cage (organic), Dan Graham (refelction), and Rei Kawakubo (clothes). They’re from our project JUDD + NATURE = DAN GRAHAM, a Monopol magazine commission that asked six designers to respond directly to the work of Donald Judd in honor of a retrospective happening in Berlin this past summer. We made a scale version of Judd's Stool #95/6 in acrylic, and for various reasons, we wanted to make it as transparent as possible and then fill it with organic matter. It was only after the fact that we realized there were many layers that pointed to other artists we’re interested in, too; it’s often after a work has been finished for a while that we start to understand it.”
