The Lack project, Tensta Konsthall
Installation, Stockholm, Sweden 2005
Verso la fine degli anni ‘70 un product manager Ikea scoprì
un tavolino del 1910 con il piano e le gambe assai spesse in legno massiccio.
Da quel modello nacque uno dei prodotti Ikea di maggior successo, il tavolino
LACK.
Il progetto prevede di utilizzare il tavolino Lack come modulo per realizzare,
all’interno dello spazio del museo, un appartamento disponibile affinché
i visitatori lo utilizzino liberamente.
Around the end of 1970 one of the Ikea product managers
discovered a solid wooden table with a very thick top and legs. One of Ikea’s
best sellers, the LACK table, came out from that model.
A12 transformed the LACK into a basic modular element to build a brand new domestic
environment. In the Lack Project 2005,1000 Ikea Lack tables were used as construction
modules to build an apartment inside Tensta Konsthall.
The apartment is intended to operate as an open space free to be used and at
once as a laboratory.
