Room-Blending Furniture

Jason Ramey's Half Wall Series Looks Ripped From a Home's Interior

— July 31, 2011 — Art & Design
The Half Wall Series takes camouflaged objects to a whole new level. This unique furniture collection actually blends into its setting by taking on the form of walls -- hence its name -- instead of simply taking on a similar colorway or finish. For instance, the back of the Chairwall piece looks like an actual pillar of some sort.

Designed by Jason L. Ramey, who is a graduate student pursuing an MFA in furniture design at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the Half Wall Series not only looks like it was ripped straight from the walls of houses and apartments, but each piece was actually made from materials typically used to build walls.

Although I can't necessarily see the Half Wall Series being used in actual homes, I'm sure it would make a great art exhibit.
Trend Themes
1. Camouflage Furniture - Incorporating furniture that camouflages with its environment, rather than solely matching color schemes, presents innovative opportunities in home decor and design.
2. Functional Art - Combining practicality and creativity in furniture design could create a new market for functional art pieces.
3. Sustainable Design - Using unconventional materials, like those typically used to build walls, could inspire designers to create more sustainable pieces, reducing waste and utilizing natural resources.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Furniture designers can explore incorporating new materials, blending in with environments, and functional art to create unique pieces and meet changing consumer preferences.
2. Home Decor - Home decor retailers can offer innovative pieces that blend in with environments, creating unique yet practical living spaces.
3. Art Exhibits - Art exhibit curators can explore incorporating functional art pieces into their exhibits, giving visitors a new approach to appreciating both form and function in furniture design.
