SKUMFIDUS

THE SWISS ARCHITECT DUO MACIVER-EK CHEVROULET IS PRESENTING “SKUMFIDUS” AT THEIR VERY FIRST EXHIBITION IN DENMARK. LOW AND LONG VASES, HIGH VASES, VASES THAT MIGHT BE STOOLS, TABLES THAT BE VASES, AND OF COURSE, A MUCH-NEEDED CHAISE LONG AND ITS OTTOMAN CREATED OUT OF PURPLE INSULATION FOAM.

FOAM IS NOWADAYS THE MOST USED MATERIAL IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. IT CAN TAKE ANY SHAPE, BE HARD ENOUGH TO CARRY A WHOLE HOUSE, OR EXPANDABLE TO FILL ANY MOUSE HOLE. STILL, ITS STRANGE TEXTURE AND THE LOVELY CANDY COLORS ARE NEVER VISIBLE! MACIVER-EK CHEVROULET EXPLORES THE UNEXPECTED POTENTIAL OF THIS OVERLOOKED MATERIAL. SMOOTH AS VELVET, HARD AS CONCRETE, AND LIGHT AS A FEATHER. BY STACKING FOAM PLATES, A FAMILY OF DIFFERENT SHAPED OBJECTS HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THE EXHIBITION.
