DUNNE AND RABY

"A collection of adult furniture for the Medici Gardens in Rome.

The spaces in the gardens of the Villa Medici are like rooms, outdoor rooms without furniture. We would like to furnish them, and provide suggestions for how these neutral spaces could be used. Parks are strange places. During the day happy families play out idealised
scenarios of modern life, while at night, they become sites for a variety of illicit activities. Our furniture will make some of these night-time activities more convenient and at the same time, offer a critique of the kind of design that is always trying to make things nice, convenient, user-friendly, efficient and ergonomic (especially public furniture)." - Dunne & Raby

"Hideaway Furniture is part of the Designs for Fragile Personalities in Anxious Times series. There are three versions. They are designed to meet irrational but real needs, in this case, a fear of alien abduction."


AND...



"A building project. A studio and a home. The architect and builder Cassion Castle worked very closely with us. The main requirement:'A place of calm'. It sits hidden behind the shops in Bethnal Green in a tiny street next to garages used by the market traders. Only one south facing facade can be manipulated freely."

AND...



"Parasite light: A light that feeds off the leaky radiation of household electronic products; it only works when placed in electromagnetic fields."
