Brooklyn designer Ian Cochran debuted his Plump series of sculptural furniture in 2018, yet somehow, each time he debuts a new piece or a new color, it feels like entering a totally joyful and novel world. Perhaps it’s because the resin can be dyed any shade or color, and each hue plays with and bounces the light differently. “Translucency and light effects are a huge part of my creative interest,” says Cochran, “like light changing colors as it travels through a material, or the way that clear objects bend the image that they are in front of.” Like a children’s toy, each solid resin part is connected with only notched joints, which allows the piece to be easily disassembled and rebuilt — which Cochran says is part of the fun.
