OBJECTS OF FASCINATION

In complete lockdown, everyone was stuck at home, chained to their tables, facing isolation, and eventually being inspired by the objects around them. This was seen as an opportunity to collaborate and share thoughts and fascinations around a common project, a collaborative furniture series called Objects of Fascination. National and international architects, artists and designers were asked to translate their personal fascination into the design for an aluminum table. The result is 44 coffee tables in erratic forms by, amongst others the Belgian architecture firm 51N4E, fala atelier from Portugal, l’AUC from Paris and Piovenefabi from Italy.

The 44 original tables will be presented at MAD Brussels From September 24 to November 14, 2021.

This project is initiated by CENTRAL office for architecture and urbanism (Radim Louda, Paul Mouchet & Valentin Piret), Maxime Delvaux and UR (Chloé Valadié & Gaétan Brunet) in March 2020. Curatorial coordination by Roxane Le Grelle. Produced by Architecture Curating Practice.
