…Do I need to say more?
An influential American designer, and a favourite in my
eyes, Dickinson
made a name for himself crafting uniquely imaginative furniture from plaster,
among other materials. The interiors he created not only engaged the senses but
challenged the mind. His work is more popular now than ever before.
Based on the West Coast of The USA, he started his own Design firm and begin creating pieces with a very original aesthetic. He combined an industrial chicness with an artisan feel to create furniture with a sense of humour, furniture that was functional but made you smile at the same time.
The furniture he was so famous for sells for astronomical
prices at auction in the States, but now reproductions are available through a
company called Sutherland Furniture, who recently acquired the rights to bring
his amazing designs back to life. Although fibreglass replicas, as opposed to
the plaster originals, the attention to the details mean you'll be hard pressed
to tell the difference.
These weird and whacky items would bring a sense of fun to
any space; inside, outside, formal or casual.
Or if you have an unlimited bank balance, why not lash out
on an original?
One for the Wishlist perhaps?
