Four Strange and Surreal Rooms by Kyung Woo Han
Designers in different ways realize their imagination and creativity. Someone inclines to create an elegant and graceful work of art, someone gives a second life to waste materials and products, but Kyung Woo Han tries to break down the idea of the ordinary things, giving them an unusual view and surroundings. We’ll describe a few examples – 4 Rooms by this Surrealist Artist. The first one is a White window. The window with deformed frame can be set right when viewed through a fish-eye lens surveillance camera. The second installation is a Green House with furniture floating in the water inside. Checkered Floor with distorted black-and-white patterns, making an effect strange and surreal three-dimensionality, is also the work of this line.

The first piece of this strange at first glance collection was the Octopus Chair. Natural vitality of the animal is striking; every detail is made with careful precision. The Animal Chair collection is a creation of Maximo Riera that took him three years to be completed. The collection is great and includes wide range of species, among which there is a rhinoceros, a lion, a whale, a walrus and even some of insects. The chairs are not exactly portable because of their weight. Carved from compressed foam, inside of which there is a steel frame to stabilize the form, each chair is enveloped in real leather.

Olafar Eliasson’s Rainbow Panorama
Olafar Eliasson, artist and designer from Denmark, has realized into the life one of the brightest natural phenomenon. Rainbow – the most beautiful and fairy consequences of the rain – we can see now at the ARoS museum in Aarhus (Denmark). This installation called “Your rainbow panorama” is a tunnel which consists of colored glass panels. At night is lit by spotlights in the floor. We can imagine this tunnel like our way along the life. Hi-tech existence has thrown us off the colorful nature and this installation let us use this tunnel to recollect that life has different colors, not always bright, but always essential. The artist himself hoped to blur the limits between the art and what is a part of the museum.
