simple and clear

Karl Zinsmaster, Bjorn Ricke, Summer Covell, and Travis Bookler have been collaborating on a series they call Constructs. Investigating the "legitimacy of material, icon and author," design classics are remade in humbler materials that evoke the shop: Castiglioni's Arco lamp is interpreted as a cinder block, a work lamp, conduit and paint; Le Corbusier's Petite Lounge is reconstructed from rebar and Quikrete packages; the classic Noguchi table is replicated in Oriented Strand Board; and a historical Mondrian painting is remade in ceramic tile samples.
