redstr/collective explores two classic American design movements, Art Deco and Federal.
"The collection explores what makes something inherently Art Deco or Federal, and why it maintains a place in the visual memory.". The collection was on display downstairs at The Future Perfect in Brooklyn during New York Design Week. Featuring the Strikes Back Chandelier, "takes the classic Empire shape and transforms it into a gold crochet netting adorned with jet hemitite Swarovski crystals", and the C vs, VC&A Folding Screen, "a nod to classic art deco jewelry from the Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels houses, each panel uses mirrors or silver leafing to reflect light and change a space while still offering privacy", there's more on the redstr/collective website.
