PIURRA

I am on the verge of being blown away by Piurra, the way Rui Viana talks about the work is sublime.."The creation of furniture departs from the development of concepts based upon the personal experiences of demanding, innovating, recalcitrant people." Recalcitrant? The definition being: difficult to manage or operate b : not responsive to treatment c : resistant < this subject is recalcitrant both to observation and to experiment. 
I am very interested in personality within form, and so into the way '7 skirts shelf' explores this, with its Folies Bergere exuberance versus french country kitchen aesthetic, giving such open results. 
But some of Piurra's other work is a bit too surface obsessed for me, which is a shame. I know we all have to sell things, make money, but when you think clever, like Piurra do, its good to run with it and go mental sometimes. I can't help but wonder what sort of brilliant and interesting objects could be realised if they did.
