“The Bracket Collection” by Pallet Studio provides dignified seating for anybody in mundane and over looked spaces.
The Pallet Studio artists are Michael Wlosek, Lukas Nickerson and Andrew Perkins. According to Michael Wlosek’s Facebook Page he studied architecture at California College of the Arts and is from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
According to Lukas Nickerson’s website: “I am interested in existing within the confluence of old century craft and modern technology, starting in the present and exploring the past; investigating what isolation from the modern world can bring back to the 21st century city.” He is a wonderful furniture designer.
According to Andrew Perkins website: “Born and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Andrew now calls San Francisco his home. Designing and building locally with organic and recyclable materials is central to his work. However, Andrew strongly believes that sustainable design is foremost about the quality and emotional longevity of the object. Andrew strives for this core principle by combining his experience as a cabinetmaker with a world class education in design. He knows that if the idea isn’t present than the object will not persist.” He too is an accomplished designer and furniture manufacturer.

It doesn’t look like the most inviting place to sit for long but I would try them out!
I was also going to immediately say well they don’t look comfortable:) On the other hand it is nice that the double-seater provides a drinks table:)
The SEAT exhibition looks like so much fun! I’d love to try the first chair.
Oh, these are great. I thought they were solar collectors at first. Hey, maybe the do that, too!
I wonder if these are functional because they are almost begging for people to try them out. If so, it’s cool to interact with art.
