Atelier van Lieshout is the eponymous studio of Dutch sculptor Joep van Lieshout, who has gained international recognition for sculptures and installations that pose fundamental societal questions.
Technocrat Coffee Table shows a scale model of The Technocrat, a closed circuit system developed by AVL to produce food, alcohol, and energy.
The concept is similar to one of his largest projects to date, AVL-ville, an independent state he founded in 2001. Joep and his co-workers lived there for just under a year, pushing the artistic boundaries of what autonomy means in modern society.

Atelier Van Lieshout
Atelier Van Lieshout rose to fame with projects that travel between the world of minimalist design and non-functional art, including sculptures and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias.
