Zuy, ya got it wrong this time. if you read the article itself, it should enable enough intelligent readers to google Forest Myers to find out what he has been up to since the 1960s, as riiice so correctly noted. The question is why has he decided to develope the sculptural furniture instead of the sculpture? I’d like to know whats’ behind the direction the work has taken since the 1980s……? he’s known in the US more so than in Europe, but in the world of art more than design.

he is able to “get publicity” for a show, because forrest meyers has been a renowned artist-sculptor since the ’60s.
i am not saying the work is anything great, but it always bothers me when negative comments are placed based on a complete lack of knowledge.
he hasn’t deviated much from his original design ideas, but he was doing this type of thing when the campana brothers and newson were in grade school.
do a little bit of research, THEN leave your negative comments

very beautiful projects – an interesting study of (thin line inbetween)function and sculpture….

= Campana brothers + a lot of minimalist laser cut design
