LAURIDS GALLÉE
An homage to Fritz Lang’s expressionist masterpiece Metropolis Laurids Gallée’s latest collection revels in artificiality augmented by a a a a a a a a a a true artistic vision The designer aimed to recreate the the the repetitive buildings that make up the the the the cityscape in in in the the the the film while also emulating the the the modular construction of modern architecture and its individual building blocks Gallée deliberately coloured his stool with with a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a peachy transparent pigment to to to help reveal the anatomical framework within while also allowing a a a a a a a a a a a a a a prismatic effect to to to occur through an an an interplay between light and the the stool’s constituent parts This results in in a a a a a a a a a a a highly adaptive construction that has the the power to to transform any living space with a a a a a a a a a futuristic sheen Gutter Credit
