Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist and designer CJ Aslan has debuted a new series of sculptural furniture pieces titled 'Designed Objects (1-4)'. The collection features chairs, stools, and other sculptural forms carefully constructed over 147 hours with hand-spiked and hand-studded stainless steel, drawing inspiration from Aslan's viral shoe designs for her fashion label ASLAN WORLD.

Why it matters

Aslan's work blends fashion, art, and furniture design in a unique way, challenging traditional boundaries between these disciplines. Her use of repurposed materials and hand-crafted techniques also speaks to a growing consumer interest in sustainable, one-of-a-kind home goods.

The details

The 'Designed Objects' series includes four unique pieces featuring Aslan's signature spiked and studded elements, originally inspired by the thorns that evolved on trees to protect them from predators. Each item in the collection was meticulously patterned, cut, and welded by hand over the course of 147 hours of labor.
