Dressed Furniture 2011

Today's mass-production and the disposable fashion are deeply problematic. Current fast changing trends and low price that promote consumers to buy more than they need has pushed people to easily throw away their objects. I am fighting against this epidemic with needles and threads. Dressed Furniture is inspired by traditional crafts and antique raw materials, hand made by me; Obviously, the scarcity of the antique funiture used requries the total number of editions produced each piece is extreamly limited. Each piece is therefore entirely unique and challeges a new aesthetic statement and it crosses the boundaries of art and design.  

I believe that the lack of consciousness with which people easily throw their objects away will increase in the future even more. It is important now therefore that we need to consider our basic needs and what we already possess, and to use these materials wisely and beautifully. Using craft techniques and a combination of antique and raw materials is the logical means by which I work through these issues. The craft traditions convey a considered thought process and have always recognized the value in reusing and repurposing.
