"Verb" object becomes stool, table, lamp, and more

By Rain Noe - October 28, 2009

in Object Culture

Marlon Darbeau's "Verb," made from teak and plywood, is an interesting piece of multi-functional furniture:

As an exploration of movement through space and time, 'Verb' allows its user to manipulate the shape of the object like a set or a prop - to choreograph space and in so doing change the way light inhabits and illuminates space.

As the 'verb' transitions in form it transforms in functionality - from stable, balanced objects like a table, a lamp, chair, sculpture Or bookcase, to dynamic locomotive forms that perambulate, rock or spin.

Darbeau is a graphic designer based in Trinidad and Tobago. See more of his stuff here.
