Design is often thought of as a rejection of chaos, but with this interesting work by
Itay Ohaly he has sought to embrace chaos and guide it in the form of a rule set within which designed objects can become less predictable. Design & Chaos, as the range is called, consists of a series of desks that are composed of parts designed by different people who were ignorant of what the purpose of their actions would be put to.
The designer orchestrates a series of processes that he gives to others to execute without defining what it is they are designing. In this way the linkage between design and product is, to a degree, broken. At some point in the assembly of the 3 d object, decisions have to be made on how the components might integrate to form the whole.
An interesting process executed with much élan.
Gratitude to
mocoloco for drawing this product to my attention.
