Remixed Reused Iconic Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Scrap Wood Furniture is Inspired by Design History

— July 11, 2013 — Art & Design
Eli Chissick’s ‘Zemayesh’ exhibition features scrap wood furniture made from pieces that were discarded from carpentry shops. Chissick collects discarded pieces of MDF, Formica, solid wood and laminates and gives them a new life as gorgeous new tables and shelves. The variety in wood lends the pieces a beautiful patchwork-like pattern and range of coloring.

Each of Chissick’s furniture pieces is inspired by an iconic design movement throughout history, like the absurdist Dada period or well-known pieces like Joseph Albers’ nesting tables from the Bauhaus. These pieces source old materials and rejuvenate elements from past design periods to create beautiful new sculptural forms.

Chissick’s solo exhibition is currently being held at the Tel Aviv’s Periscope Gallery.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycled Furniture - There is an opportunity for companies to create sustainable and unique furniture pieces by repurposing discarded materials like scrap wood.
2. Revived Design Movements - Companies could tap into nostalgia and revive past design movements by incorporating them into modern furniture pieces.
3. Patchwork Aesthetic - A patchwork-like pattern in furniture pieces made from discarded materials could become a popular trend in sustainable design and allow for creative use of scraps.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers could develop a line of upcycled furniture, using discarded materials and unique designs from past movements, to appeal to consumers seeking sustainable and distinctive pieces.
2. Art Galleries - Art galleries could showcase more exhibitions like Eli Chissick’s ‘Zemayesh’ to promote sustainability and introduce unique, eco-friendly pieces to art collectors.
3. Interior Design - Interior design companies could incorporate upcycled furniture pieces with patchwork aesthetics and designs from past movements into their design schemes to promote sustainability and add a nostalgic touch.
