insitu.reviews: Pupi & Productora

Aside from having four walls and a roof, our homes are collections of objects, curated cumulatively over years and decades. They can be read as intimate portraits of those who inhabit them-with each object telling a story, however fantastic or banal. insitu.reviews-conceived by Gavin Youngs and Alessandro Bonavita-is a new miniseries premiering on NOWNESS, asking what happens when an unknown foreign object is introduced into a space that otherwise is delicately and personally curated. How does design 'fit' and ultimately 'belong' within a space? Here we find out.
The third of these candid reviews of unknown objects introduces Milanese entrepreneur Pupi Solari to a new piece of furniture from Mexican-American design studio Productora, whose bright yellow table references everyday street architecture in America and were originally produced for Maniera gallery in Brussels. Youngs and Bonavita-the former a film director at The Apiary, the latter an art director-explain that when "a seemingly random design object appears in a home without context, without known author, without explanation... the design is forced to speak for itself, and be spoken to." This isn't your normal product review.

This woman is wonderful, as are the tables and concept behind the new series. IMO 'alien' objects, juxtaposed in familiar settings, energize the whole scene.
