'Stolz und Schabernack' by Stefan Wieland
The names of his works are as bloomy as they are colourful in appearance: ‘Stolz und Schabernack’ . The German designer Stefan Wielands creates loud and expressive lamps and furniture made from roughly worked – welded, painted and bent materials such as acrylic / glass, veneer or laminate. In his likewise crude but beautiful explanations you will read comments like “To provoke errors and then cultivate them”, “Sunshine, o sunshine, how you are shining in my cup of peppermint tea” and “to split a painting into fragments and restructure”.
These pieces have a very urban feeling to them and would not look out of place in a dark alleyway or streetscape of brunswick. A standout non-the-less. I like the contrasting colours as the viewer is to walk around the object, this could be applied to tv units / kitchens or even wardrobes, I really like the potential this innovation has. Seemingly endless.
