jack beveridge and joshua lake‘s ‘children’s furniture project sees the duo translate drawings of chairs by eight year olds into real pieces of furniture. ‘we wanted to explore the untainted imagination of a child. a class of 7-8 year olds designed their vision of a chair, we made them into reality,’ says the duo. ‘working with a local primary school, we took an art class and gave the children a simple piece of paper with the words, ‘please draw a chair’. with a little encouragement and some coloring in pencils, the children started scribbling away their dream chair! after an hour, we had the most beautiful selection of designs that we couldn’t come close to even dreaming of.’
