Furniture as art.
So, I went to Ikea earlier and I really enjoyed walking through and looking at the different pieces, trying to put them together to create a beautiful room. Granted, I grew up with artistic parents, but it was really fun. My boyfriend and I have already picked out everything that will go into our loft apartment that we'll probably never be able to afford. There were just so many different options and styles to put together. Some of the rooms that were set up were very modern, while others looked like a nice country kitchen, and some had a very retro feel to them. The one thing that is so fun about creating a masterpiece with furniture is that the beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Each person's personality is different and they can choose many different pieces to go together to make a room work. My style would be more modern, and it was so much fun going through the Swedish furniture store and picking out things to create my dream home. I can't wait to do it for real.

I definitely look at furniture in an artistic way, almost more so then functionality. My favorite types are the modern / minimalist pieces that are put together in a room. It's got what I would describe as a sterile or cold feeling to it, but wood lightens the tone at least a little bit. I still enjoy a sharp looking room despite its cold appearance.
ReplyDeleteI love how people can put a room together in a way that it looks like a piece of art. If only we could just live in the model rooms in ikea. Furniture is part of architecture therefore definitely a part of public art. I could never put together a room and have it look as good as the rooms in ikea. It is an art form, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you that art can be in furniture. I think it takes a lot of skill to fully compose a full room. Like the exhibit we were all assigned to see at the High Museum on European Modern Design, a lot of the pieces featured were of furniture, home decor, and appliances.
