Young Projects
USA
Young Projects worked hand in hand with master artisans, Art in Construction, to develop this one of a kind piece that elevates age-old techniques of scagliola with the unprecedented use of concrete. The outcome is a vibrant and durable “marble” like finish that undulates from a smooth refined sitting surface, to a rough geological exterior. The Upside Down Chair’s durable but elegant form and use of material, allow it to be fluidly set as an exterior or interior piece.
Young Projects is an architecture and design firm based in New York City. The scale of work spans planning, buildings, interiors, furniture, material prototypes, and objects of curiosity. The work emphasizes making, material sensation, figuration, and spatial complexity; hybrids and ambiguity exist in favor of singularity. The studio explores a variety of methods: breaking traditional techniques for fabrication, hand pulling plaster, growing crystals, and burning things- to name a few.
