hotel

 Ace Hotel New York lives in a historic, turn-of-the-century building in Midtown Manhattan, invested with the spirit of its surroundings, the culture of the city and the ancient bones of the building. Ace New York has become a central hub for New Yorkers, Brooklynites and international travelers, and a hotbed of startups, freelancers and people who just want to kick it. However bustling the lobby gets, the hotel is a respite from New York's mayhem — full of local art, thoughtful details and the best beds in the universe.

Korean artist Bahk Seon Ghi creates sculptures from pieces of charcoal suspended from nylon filaments, everyday objects or simple geometric shapes based on sketches made in an apparently architectural approach.

Bahk fascinates his viewers with his large, site-specific installations. He has created tables, stairs, circles and picture frames, from which some pieces of charcoal seem to escape. The focus of this exhibition is on oversized drops of water falling to the ground; they are naturalistically distorted according to the physical law of gravity. The artist re-interprets mundane objects, presenting them to us in a context disassociated from their real environment. Apparently floating in a play of light and space, his installations embody the relationship between humans and nature.

voici un découpage papier que j'avais réalisé il y a quelques années. Ces découpages devaient être  installés dans 4 boîtes illuminées et le public pouvait découvrir en regardant par un petit trou ce qu'il s'y passait . pour des questions de budget, tout fut condensé dans une seule boîte, suspendue sous une gloriette : "la gloriette des amoureux"...
here is the paper cutting which I had realized a few years ago. This paper cutting was installed in a box and  suspended in a summer house : "the summer house of the lovers"... the public discovered the cutting paper by looking by a small hole

trestle table

A very good idea from Ben Storms, designer and stonecrafter, bends the rules between form, material and technique.
In Vein is a marble trestle table that can be used as a mirror by positioning it straight up against the wall. 
The original trestle table represents simplicity, mobility and efficiency. 'In Vein' adds delicate luxury and vanity.
