‘Library’ by Thomas Bentzen (DK)

This year’s ’The Cabinetmakers`Autumn Exhibition’ will take place from 13 November 2009 - 31 Januar 2010 at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Copenhagen. The exhibition, which started in 1984, is an association of furniture manufactures and designers. The purpose is to develop and stage an annual exhibition of new and experimental furniture types with strong practical and artistic qualities and excellent craftsmanship.

Last year the Danish designer Thomas Bentzen presented this figurative and playful piece of furniture, which refers in its details to the traditional Scandinavian wood-working.

“A room divider, a cosy nook, a shot of homeliness with a sloping ceiling that can be tiled with books or magazines. The book ends offer storage space for magazines, a graphic deviation in the room, which can be used to create order or chaos. Library is made in classic ash to give the storage a warm glow. Library is furniture for receptions, shops, offices, libraries or you home.”

Alteration: an exhibition of new works on paper by Greg Lauren

After taking a closer look, you realize the garments are made of fine paper manipulated to resemble different fabrics. There is a meticulous care for the details because the creases, wrinkles and folds ironically give the impression that these clothes have been worn down by time.





Lauren hand-sews each piece as an attempt to explore not only the process of an artisan, but the garment as a canvas for identity, aspirations and symbolism. The exhibition is composed of iconic men’s wear pieces such as the black tuxedo, white polo, trench coat, plaid shirt and leather motorcycle jacket.
















Lauren does not criticize, but questions how these clothes help shape the making of one’s own image. Having Ralph Lauren as an uncle, the artist states he was taught “to dress like Cary Grant and JFK, but actually felt more like Charlie Chaplin or Oliver Twist.” Greg Lauren’s new work is a personal investigation of authenticity, style icons and male archetypes.
