THE GARDEN

When we fall in dreams, we often experience what is referred to as a hypnic jerk— that startling jump or landing we wake up to. Inspired by films such as Last Year in Marienbad, Tarkovsky’s Mirror, and Kurosawa’s Dreams, THE GARDEN by OTHERSIDE OBJECTS aims to capture that same visceral feeling.

Presenting handcrafted, dripping shapes that have seemingly fallen from the sky and landed in a topiary dream sequence, THE GARDEN is an exploration of the significance of memory and dreams conceived as a dialogue between soft, fallen forms and structured geometries. Gently draped fabrics and duvet-inspired cushions will allow visitors to achieve dream-like comfort in their waking hours.

At THE GARDEN, OTHERSIDE OBJECTS will present four pieces: LANDING STOOL, a more rounded and puffier version of CUTIE STOOL; PLAYSTATION, a site-specific and multi-functional, sculptural chair/communal structure inspired by jungle gyms; BENCH, and the coveted NAP CHAIR. The pieces have been handcrafted using salvaged materials: deadstock parachute nylon, deadstock canvas, and construction-grade Douglas Fir reclaimed from the streets of L.A. The wood has been hand-turned on a traditional lathe by Founder Sam Klemick; its cracks and imperfections filled with gold resin to highlight the material’s inherent beauty.
