Keel Seat by Oscar Narud
The Norwegian Prototypes show on Leonard Street shows work from a cross section of contributors, ranging from students to established practitioners. The 14 designers were invited to submit products or furniture that could be transported in their hand luggage. The results were placed alongside an explanatory film, howing sketches and short interviews of the designers talking about their work.
Highlights include Oscar Narud's 'Keel Seat,' demonstrated below, and Sara Wright Polmar's 'Peggy' wall hanging system.
