Olly Mason Meets Felix Schwake: A Collaboration of Purist Functional Art and Room Installations
In June 2021, the prestigious Wallpaper Magazine introduced a unique collaboration between two creative minds who engage with space in their own ways: artist Olly Mason and designer Felix Schwake.
Olly Mason's Room Installations Meet Felix Schwake's Purist Design
Artist Olly Mason, known for her fascinating room installations, has incorporated furniture pieces by Felix Schwake in her latest works. Schwake's purist style and functional art create a perfect symbiosis with Mason's conceptual room installations. Particularly noteworthy here are Felix Schwake's FS8 and FS46 models, serving as consoles with and without mirror.
The Purist Approach of Felix Schwake
Felix Schwake's approach to functional art is heavily influenced by German Modernism and Bauhaus ideology. His designs are both functional and sculptural, making them more than pieces of furniture - they are works of art that enrich the space. His purist style is clearly recognisable in his works, characterised by clean lines, minimalist forms, and a lack of unnecessary decoration.
Symbiosis of Room Installation and Functional Art
The collaboration between Olly Mason and Felix Schwake has shown how the connection between room installation and functional art can lead to a harmonious unity. By integrating Schwake's purist furniture pieces into her installations, Mason creates spaces that are both artistically and functionally appealing. The viewer is invited to experience the room not only visually but also haptically and functionally.
The collaboration between Olly Mason and Felix Schwake represents an impressive symbiosis of room installation and functional art.
