The Archive Series are investigations on space and books, aiming to blur the borders between art and design. Clearly non functional, they aim to appeal to the senses, creating a narrative which more often than not, reaches the absurd.
Departing from ideas of density and micro spaces, they aim to explore the traditional relationships that humans have to books. Private collections have existed for centuries, but when this is added to nomadic behaviour, curious contradictions arise; this is the area studied by Archive II (pictured above). How can an individual travel with it’s own library, given that books are so heavy?
Archive II is a circular library for the nomad book collector, allowing the user to step inside, and walk away with half a ton of books.
