Godspeed and How To Get Famous
Godspeed, they crack me up. Here are some new pieces, called “How to Get Famous.”
In the designers’ words:
As a comment on Maarten Baas’s Smoke and Jens Fager’s Raw, both excellent works, we like to add this piece to the furniture world.
It is a paraphrase on a paraphrase, pointing out our incapability to come up with something new, literary going through the dumpsters in order to be able to invent something not already seen.
We are living the American Dream, everyone an independent individual that can be and do anything, still desperately going through layers after layers of history, trying to find something to copy in order to get 15 Minutes of Fame.
Never before have the world seen so many copies, fusions, mixes, paraphrases and we are of course glad to be able to contribute to this era.
The aim here is to get Famous, by using a few simple grips.
Copy the masters, steal the classics, the older the better and add a twist.
Get backed up by a bigger and more Famous name.
Be white male unless you are a quartet of women looking both cool and good.Clearly, Godspeed are not doing this for the simple reason of being celebrities, Godspeed simply want to explain to you what Godspeed are up to and therefore Godspeed had to take this rather radical measures.

This is very stile thing
paraphrase on a paraphrase on a paraphrase on a paraphrase.
But by far not convincing enough to become famous with, even if Godspeed would have wanted that. They forgot those famous paraphrase designs do have one thing in common: The designers actually thought about quality finishing. This just looks like a pile of junk…
When I stop laughing out loud I’ll try and pars out the paraphrasing issue…….or maybe I’ll just keep chuckling. Godspeed indeed.
Candels is amazing
Good work boys, or is it girls? (Front wont return my calls). Although you make the fatal flaw about being honest about your work….Bullsh*t and Bravado…the corner stones of every 15 minute designer.
I really like the chair as an art piece, but the idea of actually sitting on it and including it in my home as a functional furniture is hilarious. I can just imagine a DIY How-To for how to knock it off. “First, collect a bunch of splintered wood and then randomly staple gun pieces together…”
It is definitely bad-ass, though
This furniture from Godspeed is an obvious match for the Suurupi house extension shown a few days ago in the architecture section. Check it out. http://design-milk.com/suurupi-house-extension-by-arhitektid-muru-pere/ One of the coolest house designs I’ve seen in a while. Very labour intensive though, unlike some of the furniture. Godspeeds website has some neat stuff as well.
