Description:
In New Constructions, Atelier Max Lipsey presents a collection of experimental furniture made from steel wire and slumped glass. The series started with a fascination for space-frame truss roofs, airplane hangars and radio telescope constructions. Through experiment, Lipsey emulates these complex constructions on a small, almost delicate scale. The constructions are then combined with glass in the kiln. The slumped surfaces become table tops and lights. The collection of furniture pieces seeks to bring this fascination of material and structure into interior scale spaces.
