In the show Rooted Flows: Solidified Reflections by designer Linde Freya Tangelder, founder of Antwerp based studio Destroyers/Builders, the structural and plastic syntax of architecture is broken down into its elements, only to be then recomposed and reimagined as objects of varying degree of utility.  Consisting of pieces made as one-offs or limited editions, the results of Tangelder's residency in Turin can be interpreted both as architectural fragments and highly sculptural design essays — an ambiguity that takes them beyond their function as mere furnishings or décor items.

 

The project is the result of a collaboration between Linde Freya Tangelder, Carwan Gallery and IN Residence under the cultural patronage of Cassina. It features the publication of the designer's first illustrated monographic book, written by Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò and published by NERO Editions, and is presented alongside the designer's body of work conceived in Turin during the residency program together with her first product designed for Cassina in a solo show at Carwan Gallery.
