Plywood
Drawn to pre-gentrified Hollywood and L.A.’s punk underground in the 80s, California-born designer Rick Owens is known for his fondness of unconventional luxury, brutalist structures, unexpected forms and intriguing details. Crafted with precision from sleek black plywood, the minimalistic sculpture Octoplug Black Plywood is an avant-garde testament to the beauty and sophistication found in simplicity.
Gallic Chair
In the lexicon of Rick Owens, the Gallic Chair Tigre Plywood (2007) embodies a language of sophistication and rebellion. Fashioned from tiger-striped plywood, the chair stands as a bold declaration of Owens’ penchant for unconventional luxury – a meeting point for brutalist structures, unexpected forms and intriguing details. The choice of material, marked by its unique, tiger-like pattern, infuses the everyday with an extraordinary aesthetic, while the unexpected composition sees a half-curved seat gloriously placed atop pointed legs that effortlessly become the focal point.
