THE MODERN


We conceived a weekly installation at The Modern, the two-Michelin starred restaurant at MoMA headed by chef Abram Bissell. The design inverts the landscape into these modernist spaces, our hands channeling wind and weather acting upon the forest and field. We contrive expressions of the wild outdoors, following the forms of branches, grasses and vines where they lead us, and finally populating them with birds, hares and reptiles in the form of flowers. These sculptural pieces are designed in direct conversation with the sculpture garden outside.
