You likely do not know this, but in addition to being a sculptor, I am a lover of industrial design. I have many sketches for functional objects, especially designs for furniture. Today, on this solstice, I am giving myself permission to share them with you, alongside my artworks.

I like the way a folding screen provides coverage while getting dressed, while clothing provides coverage after you have gotten dressed. #foldingscreen #byobu #biombo #foldablewall #screen #decorativescreen #fittingroom #accordionscreen #dressingroom #popart #clothingsculpture #roomdivider #furnituredesign #interiordesign #furniture #designinspiration #industrialdesign #sculpture #fineart #textileart #tartan #designlovers #decor #decorativearts #furnituremodern #textileart #fibre #textilepattern #textileprint #fabricpattern (c) Derick Melander 2020
