Ben & Aja Blanc will present new work at the flagship store of 3.1 Phillip Lim as part of Sight Unseen OFFSITE and NYCxDesign. Aesthetic function in relation to human form, material, and texture is explored in the release of their new collection of furniture. Shearling, oak, and mirror are the primary materials highlighting the inherent beauty of these juxtaposed materials. The exhibition will pay homage to the proportions of Donald Judd and the surrealism of Meret Oppenheim.
