Objects have the ability to express the unspeakable or inexpressible, and lend a voice to the voiceless. This quality makes them silent partners that become catalysts and protagonists when activated.
Props are hybrids of functional products and fantastical characters. In the last few decades, the term functionality has become estranged from its original meaning. The animal Props play with this phenomenon.
The objects were created to complement Vitra’s presentation of furniture at the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
