Named after a village on the Cycladic Island of Tinos, “Volax” at @carwangallery in Athens presents the latest work of @objects_of_common_interest, a series of life-size lighting and seating pieces inspired by the large granite boulders that dot the village’s wind-swept landscape. The collection marks the studio’s first ever use of wood, featuring a series of low chairs, benches and side tables whose abstract, geometric forms and monolithic design defy categorization. Monumental yet playful, primitive yet sophisticated, the pieces comprise a sui generis sculptural garden amid the gallery’s crumbling industrial setting, creating “moments of unfamiliar simplicity”.
