In recent times this focus has shifted. This is a pity; especially in today’s world the concept of folding has so much to offer!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDYerYOxF5zNF3I-1Be8xh0e978iUDgSCwRmJLNkCYJc0svbB4dlJnwEjkFwQh8LrIDzniBug8THkCCyJ4lKRVQryvUQlitQSfsI2SDYAJZLRXArCiLw_3KzJzvPJoxqf9rWu_JtD13A/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-07-11+at+7.22.32+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628285914938826850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDYerYOxF5zNF3I-1Be8xh0e978iUDgSCwRmJLNkCYJc0svbB4dlJnwEjkFwQh8LrIDzniBug8THkCCyJ4lKRVQryvUQlitQSfsI2SDYAJZLRXArCiLw_3KzJzvPJoxqf9rWu_JtD13A/s400/Screen+shot+2011-07-11+at+7.22.32+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 525px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above: Flux founder Douwe Jacobs and industrial designer Tom Schouten</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"A folding chair not only saves valuable floor space and makes moving a breeze, more importantly it allows you to sit down wherever you like. The beach, the park, you name it! Add to that the fact that it’s easy to send by mail, and thus drastically reducing CO2 emissions when transported efficiently in bulk, and you can see why in a modern world foldable furniture is as relevant as it ever was.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Keeping this in mind and being inspired by folded paper sculptures, I folded a tiny, elegant, paper scale model of a chair. Even though it was just a simple cut-out from a single sheet of paper, it was surprisingly strong. And even better: it didn’t look like anything I’d ever seen before!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Early 2009, I and fellow industrial designer Tom Schouten founded our company. We called it Flux, referring to change and the words flexible and luxury. Since then, we have put all our energy into turning this small paper model into our first fully-fledged flexible design: the Flux Chair.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Our goal is to create a new generation of furniture and associated living items; so stay tuned for more flexible designs from Flux!</span>"<span style="font-style: italic;"> -- Douwe Jacobs, Founder/Inventor of Flux</span><br /><br />Material: polypropylene<br />Dimensions: Centimeters: 64 x 62 x 85.

Bundled together haphazardly and encased in a ring of longer pieces, the hollow ends of metal form the objectʼs top. This produces a dynamic pattern filled with highly charged empty space. The effect is like a photonegative of the original Stoolen. The eye-catching powder coating adds to the pieceʼs sculptural quality and highlights the tension between positive and negative space.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvnUKQGI-ZcazkiATnzG7oddxMEgCTyDNqDWWBN-JTT4C7QsZQsvumxazyG6iKVD9xwomcShL90ln4XOSsu4mYpzAStneznfhRP3EOIqjrO5UNMjJEZXzETXV3REh0eHlR11a8gNnJ_1U/s1600/process_12-alife.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622216171258589458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvnUKQGI-ZcazkiATnzG7oddxMEgCTyDNqDWWBN-JTT4C7QsZQsvumxazyG6iKVD9xwomcShL90ln4XOSsu4mYpzAStneznfhRP3EOIqjrO5UNMjJEZXzETXV3REh0eHlR11a8gNnJ_1U/s400/process_12-alife.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 351px;" /></a><br /><br />(NY Mag) PRIVATE PROPERTY brings together high-end sustainable furniture design and downtown New York graffiti culture: The project counts on the participation of infamous graffiti writers EARSNOT, SEMEN, JIM JOE and KR; legendary Lower East Side hang out Max Fish and its unruly clientele; and lifestyle brand ALIFE—all of whom have produced self-titled pieces.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSKHwkcFMsXM9JkAYDcHNXDBYh56-hKoHHRNGYZQBUDWEB0JHDdRMJKDgIjgzZfhScKyl-qhoklXshE-EitT2_MBoTRg35On2nuW24GD94QKhpA3-GP4QeNEHcmnKZML7lCrBbfwOznJ0/s1600/private_property_flyer.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622201803503860194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSKHwkcFMsXM9JkAYDcHNXDBYh56-hKoHHRNGYZQBUDWEB0JHDdRMJKDgIjgzZfhScKyl-qhoklXshE-EitT2_MBoTRg35On2nuW24GD94QKhpA3-GP4QeNEHcmnKZML7lCrBbfwOznJ0/s400/private_property_flyer.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 398px;" /></a><br />To be displayed for sale during New York Design Week, the idea behind the project began as a friendly conversation between Alife and New York Art Department founders Robert Cristofaro and Arnaud Delecolle, and Uhuru founders Jason Horvath and Bill Hilgendorf. The four agreed to collaborate and create a New York-centric project that would represent all partiesʼ respective areas of expertise.<br /><br />The result is a unique collection of handcrafted sustainable furniture that plays with the concept of vandalism, private property and each's appropriation of the other. PRIVATE PROPERTY is produced by creative consultancy and design company New York Art Department with support of lifestyle brand-consultancy company WhY-Q.<br /><br />"The collaboration between ALIFE and Uhuru creates a dialogue between designers and artists, Urban landscapes and interiors. Ultimately, it will aim at producing a merging of viewpoints to challenge conceptions between fine art and furniture," says Jason Horvath.<br /><br />“This project allows ALIFE to play and execute with yet another medium. This is the first time ALIFE applies its vision to furniture, but it's something we've wanted to do for a long time. It's more quality content from the ʻalifevisionʼ,” says Arnaud Delecolle.<br /><br />“The artists selected for this project represent Alifeʼs vision of the New York graff scene. Each individual chosen in this lineup is recognized within the New York downtown lifestyle as a trailblazer in his respective niche. Whether it be manufacturer of art supplies, DJ to the “Downtown”, wordsmith or just an infamous personality within the graffiti scene, all have all paid dues and contributed to this art form,” says Rob Cristofaro.<br /><br />"Getting involved with NYAD to produce Private Property was a no brainer for WhY-Q. For the past 10+ years WhY-Q has produced avant-garde events such as Ryan McGinley's first solo exhibition & the NY Minute Exhibition in Rome, we felt this was one of those events: Real New York street art collaborating with real New York high end furniture design. It hasn't been done before," says Why-Q Partner Teddy Liouliakis.<br /><br />Alife opened in 1999. One of its main goals then was to showcase people around it whose work enriched our lives with original ideas and the honest commitment to the qualitative execution of those ideas, independently of the medium. From fashion to graffiti, this was the criteria we lived by. Also, we had to like the end product.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">the press release:</span><br />New York Art Department, 201 —The artists and contributors that are part of this project meet these same requirements and were asked to participate because of their contribution to the downtown graffiti scene:<br /><br />Earsnot and Semen Sperms of the infamous IRAK crew.
