Atelier Van Lieshout





Matt, these are the guys I was talking about Saturday: http://www.ateliervanlieshout.com

I'm really into the "Wellness Skull" but all the Slave City stuff is also amazing. The earlier commune works and architectural additions are also really great.

Joep Van Lieshout designed amazing chairs for Moooi, based on Shaker furniture design. I like the idea of a failed commune appropriating the (very popular and now quite lucrative) aesthetic of a vanished ascetic religious community for interior design. It's kind of sad and happy at the same time.
