About the Artist
The amalgamation of science, nature and philosophy is reflected throughout Joris Laarman’s work. Laarman uses computer technology to inform his emulation of skeletal growth patterns in design. Bones grow thicker or thinner depending on needs of the structure. Laarman transfers this efficiency of design to the form of his chair, made from aluminium, and chaise lounge, made from polyurethane based resin. Laarman’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York); The Cooper Hewitt Museum (New York); Le Grand Palais (Paris), Designtide (Tokyo) and The Victoria and Albert Museum (London).
Established in 2005 by Parisian entrepreneurs and art devotees Loic Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail, Carpenters Workshop Gallery is known for its discovery of bold and iconic design-art.
