One of the last exhibitions I helped with at Spring Projects was the Crate Series by Studio Makkink & Bey. The show is currently on display at the gallery until mid-January. For the exhibition, Studio Makkink & Bey created a collection of new furniture pieces reinterpreting the wooden shipping container. Each unit contains a common household item, offering travelers the ability to use familiar spaces in unknown places. The BathCrate and BedCrate are particularly nice, creating a small intimate zone within a larger setting. Also on displays is the Blue Cabin, a mobile unit made from blue architectural foam which serves as a blueprint for possible living environments.
