We’re calling this collection „Metropolitan Improvement” because we kind of like the sound of that. And because „Metropolis” aka „The City” represents a place of constant re-invention. A place where, as the brilliant Rem Kolhaas put it, culture is made.
For „Metropolitan Improvement” we took generic industrial shapes like the T-beam and improved it into a stool. We coaxed the machine that churns out aluminum shutter slats to help us make a beautiful folding-screen. Which is, come to think of it, a very metropolitan production itself, as it provides privacy in public space.
Consequently, our 2015 Guest is not a specific person, but an unspecific type: The Citizen. Himself. The most individual individual and, at the same time, the most generic, too.
