Allora & Calzadilla / Furniture Fetish

found here

Allora & Calzadilla, still from “Under Discussion,” from “Beyond Green” - found here
A nice idea for contextualizing “green” issues…
I also like the table boat below which is yet another example of the never ending furniture fetish in the art world. Surely some curator at a museum somewhere needs to aggregate all this stuff in one place. I’m still a bit at a loss to understand why furniture has become such a muse in arts and design in the past year or two. Does anyone have any good theories?
I’ll throw in a few more recent examples of furniture fetish (albeit not from Allora & Calzadilla).
