It’s hard ever for me to bring myself to say something positive about this work but after watching what some have found an amusing video I think I may understand the idea a lot more.

This isn’t furniture at all, an idea yes and quite a personal one but definitely not a collection of objects that actually furnish a persons habitat. Certainly none that are commercially valuable and thus on this site invalid almost as the previous comments suggest.

I really think people can’t see past the object itself at all.

“As for things being done before, well, most things have been.” True. Even more, most of folks with that “art attitude” are bullshitting, really. Let me play around with a little calculation to prove the point. 1) let’s assume that only 0,5% of all art is innovative 2) let’s assume Dezeen posts 15 articles per day, 360 days per year – 5400 total. Then what’s the number of posts on really innovative stuff, 27 ? Yet each of us design suckers is checking the site a couple of times, daily. Bloody hypocrits we are.

As to the work: like it. You don’t find much courage to do conceptual stuff among graduates. Quite a lot of specific statements, a sign that Matylda has put in some thought and work into this. That’s a sign of a learning process. Looking forward to see more stuff in future.
