Abstraction Furniture as Interactive Art by Roxanne Flick

Roxanne Flick’s Abstraction furniture series tackles several issues found in art by way of a mirror, couch table, and side table. Shapes replacing the human body, the importance of function, and where the borders of design live are her focuses. Flick’s answer is to create functional art that’s also an interactive experience, allowing users to take part in the design process itself. Each of the three pieces in Abstraction can be rotated to create a number of compositions, creating a connection between the art and the user while also opening the door to the potentials of good design.
