Le studio Numen / For Use, entre Croatie et Autriche nous présente Cut Table, une interprétation propre de la table basse et de ses liens de parenté.
Cut Table représente plutôt deux tables complémentaires où les parties vertes de l’un de leur pied viennent parfaitement d’imbriquer. Une coupe miroir nécessaire divise le bloc de bois massif en deux parties, un morceau pour l’une et un morceau pour l’autre.
Une origine unique et commune par la matière et le temps, une complémentarité parfaite, ces deux tables sont donc jumelles.
Le studio est composé de Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler et Nikola Radeljković.
La bio du studio :
« Numen/For Use is a Croatian-Austrian design collective working in the fields of scenography, industrial and spatial design and conceptual art. The group first formed in 1998. as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković under the banner For Use.
In 1999. they establish Numen as a collective identity covering all projects actualised outside the sphere of industrial design. The group’s early enterprises are characterized by experiments with impersonal design and radical formal reduction, deeply rooted in the tradition of high modernism and mainly applied to various synergetic total-design projects in Croatia.
From 2004. onwards, after setting up a large scale site-specific project for the production of “Inferno” in the National Centre for Drama in Madrid, Numen/ For Use become intensely involved with scenography. Further realisations in theatres across Europe ensue.
Since 2008. the collective turns its focus towards configuring objects and concepts without a predefined function, an activity resulting in the more hybrid and experimental works such as the Numen-Light series and Tape Installation. Parallel to these publicly exposed ventures, the group wins several international awards for their accomplishments in the field of industrial and set design. »
