The re-cover project (english text follows)

Έπιπλα του μοντερνιστικού ρεύματος 50s-70s, με ταπετσαρίες από designs του arcube studio.

Το "The re-cover project" είναι μια διαδικασία κατά την οποία έπιπλα που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στην Κύπρο κατά το δεύτερο μισό του 20ου αιώνα συλλέγονται, αποκαθίστανται και συστήνονται ξανά στο κοινό σε ένα δεύτερο κύκλο ζωής με ενσωμάτωση σύγχρονων σχεδιαστικών στοιχ

είων. Η ιδέα αυτή της ανά-κάλυψης, της αποκατάστασης, της επαν-επένδυσης επίπλων που έχουν απαξιωθεί και εγκαταλειφθεί σε αποθήκες, εγκαταλελειμμένα κτίρια, παλαιοπωλεία ακόμα και στα σκουπίδια, διαφοροποιείται από προϋπάρχουσες πρωτοβουλίες κατά το στάδιο του ταπετσαρίσματος όπου χρησιμοποιούνται σχέδια υφασμάτων που φέρουν την σφραγίδα του arcube studio.

Τα σχέδια εκτυπώνονται με τη μέθοδο του digital printing και είναι εμπνευσμένα από τη γεωμετρία, τη γεωλογία, τη χαρτογραφία, τη φωτογραφία και την παραδοσιακή τέχνη λαών από όλο τον κόσμο. Το τελικό αποτέλεσμα φιλοδοξεί να δημιουργήσει ένα διάλογο μεταξύ των δύο χρονικών περιόδων, να συστήσει ξανά στο κοινό το σχεδιαστικό ρεύμα κυρίως του μοντερνισμού με χαρακτηριστικά και τεχνικές του σήμερα.

Το arcube studio δημιουργήθηκε το 2008, με κυριότερο στόχο τον πειραματισμό πάνω στο design ως ολότητας. Ο πειραματισμός αυτός είναι μια συνθετική αναζήτηση ανάμεσα στα αλληλεπικαλυπτόμενα πεδία του σχεδιασμού, μια ανατροφοδοτική διαδικασία όπου η αρχιτεκτονική συναντά τον σχεδιασμό επίπλου, η γραφιστική τον σχεδιασμό υφάσματος και κατ' επέκταση ότι σχετίζεται με τον σχεδιασμό χώρων και αντικειμένων που αποτελούν μέρος της καθημερινότητας μας.

Mid-century modern furniture upcycling using unique self designed textiles

Mid-century modern furniture that have been used in Cyprus between 1950 and 1980, are nowadays being discredited, abandoned in warehouses and old buildings, stacked in the corners of old antique shops or even thrown out as garbage. It is this furniture that Ι collect, restore and re-introduce for today, giving them a second life-cycle, while at the same time incorporating contemporary elements in their design. The "re-cover project" represents the process of the dis-cover-y, the restoration and the refurbishment of the furniture with original fabric designs by arcube studio. Inspired by geometry, geology, cartography, photography and world folklore art, our designs are digitally printed on fabric. The end result aims to inspire a dialogue between the two time-periods, thus re-introducing predominantly modernist designs to today's public, while combining them with contemporary techniques. arcube studio was founded in 2008 with its main aim being experimentation on design as a whole. This experimentation consists of a constant research between overlapping design fields, a regenerative process where architecture meets furniture design, graphic design meets fabric design and by extension relates to any form of design of everyday objects.
