Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons made a series of painting themed "Celebration" using oil on canvas. He uses reflective plastic paper as the background and has subject matters like balloons, cakes, party hats, play dohs, bows, cracked eggs, party ornaments etc in this series of painting. The paintings look so real that i almost mistaken them as photos.
He also makes gigantic stainless steel sculptures of balloons and ornaments that he had drawn in his paintings and exhibited them in public places like malls, parks and gardens.
Things appear in parties like balloons remind us of the happiness and good memories with our friends and family. However stuffs like balloons are momentary and never stay long. We usually forget about the parties and whatever celebrations we had after just a few days. By making a stainless steel sculpture which would stay permanently in one place, the artist is able to bring happiness to everyone who passes by it. Maybe the secret of joyfulness in a party is hidden in all these little balloons which usually burst and forgotten after the day. Hopefully the gigantic and permanent balloons made by Jeff Koons can bring out joy for whoever sees it or walking pass it.

cabbage chair
Tokyo
21_21 DESIGN SIGHT
2008.03
Nendo company designed the cabbage chair for XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake to commemorate the first anniversary of 21_21 Design Sight in Roppongi, Tokyo.The chair is made out of the pleated paper that is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric, and usually abandoned as an unwanted by-product.The creator transformed a roll of pleated paper into a small chair that appears naturally as you peel away its outside layers, one layer at a time. Resins are added during the original paper production process so as to add strength and the ability to remember forms. The pleats themselves give the chair elasticity and a springy resilience, for an overall effect that looks almost rough, but gives the user a soft, comfortable seating experience.
i like how this chair is cleverly made by using unwanted by-product. It is not only environmentally friendly, but also functional and most importantly, looks totally cool. The cabbage chair goes minimalist from it's material, it's making process, the colour, the texture to it's form before and after it is "peeled". The chair has no internal structure. It is not finished, and it is assembled without nails or screws. Like a cabbage, the chair has a core where the side of which is being peeled off bit by bit until it forms the shape of a chair.
