Unconventional Geometric Furniture

Past is Never Dead by Philipp Schenk-Mischke & Matthias Klas

At first glance, this series of unconventional geometric furniture doesn't look like furniture at all. Instead, it looks like the framework for an art piece or perhaps the beginnings of a cabinet project. Yet it was the intention of the designers to create something that lived outside of the box. It provides a unique examination of perspectives and new levels of design.

Created by Philipp Schenk-Mischke and Matthias Klas for their thesis project, the unconventional geometric furniture makes up 'The Past is Never Dead.' It is comprised of two separate pieces: Cabinets and 1,2,3 Mirror. The first strips away the expectation of sides and drawers for a structure that is as confusing as it is intriguing. The latter takes on triangular shapes that not only reflect people, but the world around them as well.
