RICK OWENS HAS LONG HELD THE GRANDEUR AND CLEAR LOGIC OF BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE AS ONE OF HIS GREATEST INFLUENCES, ATTRACTED TO THE WORK OF ARCHITECTS SUCH AS LE CORBUSIER AND MARCEL BREUER. BOTH ARTISTS CONDENSED THE PRINCIPLES OF THEIR LARGE SCALE CONSTRUCTION INTO SMALLER FUNCTIONAL ARTWORKS, CONCEPTS THAT OWENS HAS INSTINCTIVELY RESPONDED TO. Rick Owens’ Plug table, made of alabaster, is a definitive example of his monolithic furniture designs. This work channels Owens’s minimalist aesthetic with the use of geometric shapes, clean lines, and a monochrome palette. Well-versed in art history, Owens’ practice considers a summation of the masters of art and design that came before him. His influences range from Brutalism to Arte Povera, also covering conceptual minimalists like Carl Andre and the experiential art of Joseph Beuys. 2017. LIMITED EDITION OF 8 + 4 AP. AVAILABLE IN ALL STANDARD FINISHES WITH CUSTOM MATERIALS UPON REQUEST.
