Functional art is a clever way of displaying expressive designs in your home that don’t just occupy the space, they serve a specific purpose while beautifying it.
Clever designs speak about concepts and ideas, showcase results of latest technologies and compose a specific atmiosphere in the space they occupy. This is the case with the Bodice Rocker designed by Splinter Works – a unique object that can be used as a seat or it can be displayed vertically to expose its anthropomorphic sculptural form.
“Originally sculpted by Splinter Works founder and artist Matt Withington, Bodice Rocker was developed with co-founder Miles Hartwell to perform its unique trick: with a light touch, it gently rocks back and pauses mid-air, as if weightless, inciting a double-take by seeming to defy the pull of gravity. In this position it reveals the more familiar profile of a chaise longue, albeit levitating! With a second nudge it draws to the ground where you can sit and stretch out comfortably on soft padded leather.”
