Walls are concrete blocks custom-molded with an angular Brutalist design I saw on a wall a long time ago in Berlin and never found again. I might have dreamed it. This wall became a mythological image to me of a futuristic utopian ruin.” While he doesn’t comment on the table, it’s worth noting that New York-based artist Bjarne Melgaard’s remakes of Allen Jones’ 1960s furniture, which featured sexy female mannequins serving as chairs, has garnered notable press in recent years.
