A Slice of Gestalt
I saw what you did there. DLB presents two designs that make a bold statement with less by physically cutting away pieces of everyday objects.
This first piece is Rob Price’s iconic Grandfather Clock, wherein a sectional – yet functional— slice evokes the whole grandfather clock.
The detail that really sells it for me is the plexi face (Right). While the rest of the clock is solid wood, the “cut” exposes the joinery through the glass.
In a similar vein (no pun intended), I found this Dexter-branded “dismembered flatware” on the same website. A different kind of reductionism, but evocative, to be sure. I appreciate the detail of Dexter’s signature hypodermic needle puncture on each piece.
