Collaborations

The studio has partnered with IKEA to create two limited edition artworks as part of the IKEA Art Event 2021. The wall objects are offshoots from the project Collection of Drones that the studio launched in 2019. These pieces resemble butterfly collection cabinets, playing with the contrasts and similarities between contemporary technology and natural sciences. The objects were sold exclusively through IKEA’s stores around the world.

“The more we’ve explored functional design, the more we’ve realised how unnecessary the line between design and art is. To us, humans are incapable of producing something that has no function”

“Instead of using technology as a tool for efficiency, we give the objects a more poetic function. We free them from their functional role”

“It resembles a butterfly collection cabinet, but instead of butterflies, it has drones pinned to the backdrop. We play with this visual similarity. At the same time, the piece plays with the contrast between technology and nature, by placing tech in a whole new context.”
