This reversal of the typical way of making space comes as no surprise to those who have followed Arsham and Mustonen’s work over the last few years. From stage and furniture design to temporary installations and performance projects, they defy expectations of surface, material and form.The result is a portfolio of novel projects—often involving the re-invention of existing structures or designs—made possible by the combination of their unique skill sets.
“Some of my proposals are almost ridiculous,” says Arsham, 30, whose solo work has shown inMiami, Paris, London and Amsterdam. “But, at the same time,maybe they’re not something that an architect would propose.When that happens, it’s up to Snarkitecture to figure out how to make it work.”
