Sight Unseen OFFSITE 2014

We were super excited for the first year of Sight Unseen’s new one-stop art and design destination, OFFSITE.

We were NOT disappointed. The Sight Unseen duo Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov put together a huge and impressive two-story collection of new artists and designers from sculptures to ceramics to watches and, of course, furniture and home decor.

table-tops-grey-area

Grey Area created a table base and have asked various artists to design interchangeable table tops that you can also hang on the wall as art. We loved the ones from Snarkitecture (left) and Chen Chen & Kai Williams (right). You can actively play the marble game on the Snarkitecture table even when it’s laying flat because the tunnel has been carved to gradually deepen.

I was especially excited to see the new work from Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, who collaborated with glass artist John Hogan on a series of lamps and objects (below). They also developed a fun line of “thingamajigs” that move, playing with shape and balance (above). Read our recent interview with them here.
