Why would designers want to mask furniture? It seems that in our time it is simply stupid and unnecessary. But sometimes an interesting project can turn out from such an undertaking.
By the way, interestingly, the designer Timothy Liles is not the first creation that disguises something. He first created rings, under which he disguised children's crayons, now there are chairs. Only, of course, he hid them not under crayons, but under white laces. As an experiment, the most ordinary chairs were taken, wrapped with laces, as a result of which such a project turned out. At first, it seems as if the unfortunate chairs were severely beaten and maimed by someone (if possible), and then bandaged. It is curious that the idea starts with camouflage, but ends almost with mummification - it's hard to say what the designer wanted from the beginning, whether to slightly disguise the chairs, or to make real mummies out of them. In our opinion, the second option turned out, because the chairs even partially lost their shape - one became more convex, the other just uneven.
It is worth mentioning that the project was recently shown at 225 Forest, Laguna Beach. It is not known what assessment was given to this project by those who saw it live, but from the photographs the idea evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand, it seems funny, because until now no one has bandaged the chairs with laces, but at the same time there is little sense in it, as in many other concepts.
