Barbora Žilinskaitė

Exhibited at Podium: Shanghai 2021 Barbora’s first collection, called Roommates, is bizarre in the most delightful and sophisticated of ways, featuring a foot-shaped table, hand-shaped magazine rack, and face-shaped table inspired in part by the paintings of Paul Klee and Joan Miró. “Human-like objects become more significant with long-term use,” she explains. “It creates this weird but friendly atmosphere where a person can look at their furniture as if it were a friend or a pet.” Materials: Wood dust, ply, pigment, varnish, glue
