Lanza Atelier fills Re-Source exhibition with demountable furniture for visitors to take home
Architecture studio Lanza Atelier has lined an art exhibition in New York with plywood tables and stools in varying sizes, which can be disassembled, flat-packed and distributed among visitors at the end of the show.
The design for the Re-Source exhibition encompasses 56 pieces of furniture that are lined up to fill the triangular floorplan of the Storefront for Art and Architecture gallery in SoHo.

These are used to display 26 works from emerging architects and designers, composed entirely from leftover materials found in Storefront's storage spaces.
Lanza Atelier was tasked with creating an environment to showcase these pieces and similarly reflect the importance of reusing and repurposing materials. The furniture pieces are given away when a visitor purchases an artwork
With this aim, the studio constructed each bright green table and chair using interlocking planks of CNC-cut plywood, making future dismantling, transportation and reassembly as simple as possible.
So when visitors purchase an artwork from the show, they will also be able to take home the furniture piece on which it was displayed in a bid to extend its lifespan.
"We wanted to propose an exhibition design that could have an afterlife," Lanza Atelier founding partner Isabel MartĂnez Abascal told Dezeen. "This means that the pieces work together as a whole but can then be distributed and become something else.&q...
