Footnote
Acclaimed fashion designer Rick Owens began designing bespoke furniture, in his dark and minimalist style, for his bunker-style loft in Los Angeles. From this he has developed a collection of pieces, working alongside leading crafts people, that articulates his singular style in the volume and cut of the works.
Owens’ designs evoke classic furniture, including the ‘Curial’ ceremonial chair, the ‘Trident’ chair and current works, the ‘Halfbox’ chairs, crafted from a chest, all developed in his juxtaposing palette of black and white.
