DESA designed by: Pierre Charpin

moderndallas.net — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:57:23 +0000

This table lamp, defined by the meeting of two elements: a source of light and a diffuser,
presents itself as a cylinder of mouth-blown opal glass, with a powerful yet sober presence. With a satin-finish black metal ”belt” closely following the opaline surface, this lamp gives off a soft light. Its dimensions make of it a sculpture within the confines of an apartment, a mysterious wisp, just as lovely extinguished as it is when lit.

Shade in mouth-blown opal glass. Inset ring in satin black lacquered steel. A tube in
satin black lacquered steel, in the form of an inverted ‘U’ shape, conceals the black
electric flex and can also be used as a handle to assist in moving this large-scale lamp.

SCOOP designed by: Mark Gabbertas

moderndallas.net — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:53:27 +0000

Scoop Collection, with its flowing, minimalist shapes, has all the elements of great design – and offers the comfort of an upholstered chair but without any cushions to worry about. Unique to Scoop is the herringbone pattern that’s integrated into the organic, circular flow of each shape, woven from Textilene® vinyl. The contoured seats – a shape that is known as the Gloster “sling” – have a layer of padding sandwiched between the weave, thus eliminating the need for additional cushions and making Scoop a truly “outdoor upholstered” collection. Brushed stainless-steel accents further the material interest. Pair the Lounge Chair with the Scoop Ottoman (sold separately).

JEFF MUELLER + HARMONY PADGETT

moderndallas.net — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:39:54 +0000

at William Campbell Contemporary Art (Ft Worth) through April 28th
by Todd Camplin

William Campbell Contemporary Art Inc., a Fort Worth gallery, has a great showing of works by Jeff Mueller and Harmony Padgett. This group show titled “R*A*V*E*L” implies these two artists are trouble makers, which I can agree, but I also see one artist using influences to drive the work while the other is driven by material used in the art making.

Jeff Mueller combines the sensibility of highly layered street art, with a Rauschenberg collage influence, and a conceptual weight like that of Vernon Fisher. I see a great deal of Fisher in Mueller’s work, because of his layering of images and texts that are unrestrained by a square canvas. I am pretty sure Mueller went to the University of North Texas while Fisher was a teacher
there, so I am sure Fisher must have had an influence on his work, but I really see Mueller taking on some of the formal qualities used by Fisher and then pushing those boundaries to form a counter voice to Fisher. Mueller seems to feel at home as an installation artist using the space like a graffiti artist might. Mueller’s limits are the exhibition space alone. The word art interests me the most, because the messages in the text are overlaid with more words to get the effect
of an unclear thought. The effect slows the reader down to get a message that mirrors something you might read tagged on a wall. The painted words can also be fluid in their look, as if Mueller writes from pouring paint from the can.

‘Joshua Nimmo, Tapping into the American Spirit’
by Christina Gaona

The name of Joshua Nimmo’s studio, Nimmo American Studio for Progressive Architecture, provides valuable insight into the Dallas architect’s respect for the American spirit and its undeniable influence on his design work. Nimmo’s distinctly American creative process, one fueled by past notions of carpe diem and manifest destiny, values the process of problem solving, innovation, and the freedom to explore and progress. He consistently seeks to represent his work through “the positive values of what it means to be an American” – values that one can easily lose sight of.
