Sophie Mensen's Column: Blurring the Line Between Architecture and Furniture

By Rain Noe - June 8, 2011

in Object Culture

Eindhoven grad Sophie Mensen runs an eponymous design studio out of the Netherlands, and we love her Column project. While it's not exactly practical for those of us who can't drill into a ceiling joist, it's pretty freaking cool:

I have chosen to work with a shape that gets absorbed by the space; the column, a constructive element of the house. A column is also a monument to impress, to remember important events that may not be forgotten. The column as a monument and the column as a constructive element are like the equivalent of my Column, but in the size and scale that fits to our interior.

...With my Column I propose the question is it a component of architecture or is it interior furniture.

While cool, this is old. And as far as blurring the lines, maybe this video posted by core77's own Allan Chochinov will help "unblur" them.
