Inspired by Carl Sandburg’s 1914 poem titled β€œChicago”, the photographed historic skyscrapers were anthropomorphize to express the city’s relentless spirit. Using perspective to suggest its celebrated growth in parallel with the inner conflicts faced throughout the decades.

APOLOGIST II (2026) : APOLOGIST is an inquiry into the paradox of modern consumerism. The project reinterprets IKEA products β€” exploring the tension between the reliance on mass-manufacturing economy and the resurging demand for handmade sensibility.

Seen here is a coffee table made from the SKOGSTA bench with additional rounded edges, a cut-out handle for carrying, and partially stained finish; introducing a subtle warmth and playfulness to the utilitarian object.

On view at All Studio Open House
πŸͺ‘April 11th from 3-10pm

*** SKOGSTA bench was originally designed by Marcus Arvonen. First released in 2015

APOLOGIST I (2026) : APOLOGIST is an inquiry into the paradox of modern consumerism. The project reinterprets IKEA products β€” exploring the tension between the reliance on mass-manufacturing economy and the resurging demand for handmade sensibility.

Seen here is a hybrid between the IKEA RY side table’s structure and a hand carved Japanese lacquerware tray-turn-top. An assemblage that represents the clashing design approach without compromising their respective functionality.
