Launched at Design Miami Basel during the Basel Art Fair 2011. Water polished aluminium sheet is hand formed by the artists and enclosed in a glass box. The table reflects its surroundings in an abstract, chameleon like way. For these pieces, Fredrikson Stallard work with sheet metal, forming it by hand to produce the dynamic ‘crushed’ effect. Although strict control and force has been applied in the creation process, the metal is allowed freedom to react the way it wants to, retaining a feeling of spontaneity and effortlessness in the final piece.
The Silver Crush Desk, created in 2016, is the latest piece to come from the “Crush” collection, designed by Fredrikson Stallard and sold in David Gill Galleries.
