HOME FROM HOME A residency, a workshop and an exhibition by JAMESPLUMB

A bed born from a lucky encounter with a country window, a dining table made from the tips of roof timbers and parts of an old dresser, new additions to the Concrete Stitches series – a bench and chair made functional again by casting black concrete which has been moulded and sanded by hand, the dog-lamps Kodiak and Palomino born thanks to a collaboration with the director and photographer Bruce Weber, a chest of drawers made of old suitcases, a coffee and conversation table made by old books and candle holders, a night lamp projecting the moon, the beginnings of a small home cinema and other pieces that will be finished during the show- compose the nomadic house of the London duo in Milan.

Home From Home, il diario: vi presentiamo Henry Oyhenart III

Tentiamo una definizione assoluta per ridefinire una casa indimenticabile nella memoria di chi la visita o la vive? Secondo noi, deve essere nomade, post-punk, curiosa e proattiva verso tutti gli scarti. Certo, poi, occorrono tonnellate di poesia, di quella di ottima fattura, da disseminare ogni dove per avere successo, se si sceglie di ridefinire una casa con questo vocabolario.

Home From Home: Diary 1

Per Me E Per Pochi, conversation table made from an old industrial stool, old books, old candle-holders

Old tie boxes are making friends with 70's chairs with metal frames, while piles of 50's warehouse trolleys are starting up courtyard conversations with benches, old office cabinets and chests which have peices missing.

The British designers JAMESPLUMB (James Russell and Hannah Plumb) use their shared fine art background to create evocative habitats with emotional narratives that also imbue the objects, people and places that cross their lives.
