Wooden Heap by Boris Dennler
Swiss artist/designer Boris Dennler has created the “Wooden Heap”
.
Description from Boris Dennler:
The Wooden Heap project wants to invite the public to see beyond appearances. Create the unexpected and the surprise. Remove any traces of furniture which hides inside. It makes reference to the radical designers of the movement of the anti-design of the 70′s. It is also a wink from all the objects since the antiquity that hide their real function: the sham, the misleading appearance, as a hollowed out book hiding a weapon or a tip-up wall looking onto a secret passage.

Amusing concept….what a great place to hide one’s “stash”, whatever that may be!

As a carpenter, “Why didn’t I think of that!” It’s awesome……but don’t set it next to the fireplace.

Wow! Looks fresh and attractive! By no means good place to hide. Don’t like legs.

I think it has been thought of before. There is a great piece in Droog that is similar in concept & although not as functional it is far more artistic. Yeah, those legs are criminal

Sorry, the legs don’t work for me either.
