Exploring The Local Project Issue No. 13: A Fusion of Innovation and Design in Australian Spaces
In the pantheon of Australian design, The Local Project’s Issue No. 13 emerges as a beacon of architectural and interior brilliance, capturing the essence of the built environment with a curation that speaks volumes of aesthetic ingenuity and tactile storytelling. This issue, a compendium of design narratives, features the likes of Peter Stutchbury Architecture and Olson Kundig while unfurling the layers of modular seating that punctuate contemporary spaces with function and flair.
The Local Project, a vanguard in showcasing design excellence, dives into the realm of the Bauhaus seating collection by LEN, a suite of furnishings that embodies the spirit of modernist principles through its modular seating configurations. This edition’s pages are imbued with the ethos of “Beauty in Simplicity,” a mantra that resonates through the Australian-made modular seating range, offering a nod to the past with a vision firmly set on the future of design.
Crafted by the visionary Australian designer Helen Kontouris, the Bauhaus collection is a symphony of form and function. Helen’s childhood recollections inform the collection’s silhouettes, weaving in the squares, circles, and rectangles that are emblematic of Bauhaus’s storied past. It’s a collection that stands out for its ability to harmonise with its surroundings – whether in a bustling educational setting, a corporate powerhouse, or a public seating enclave.
LEN’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the production of this collection, with the brand being celebrated for its dedication to craftsmanship and timeless elegance. It’s this ethos that has seen LEN’s Bauhaus collection commissioned by the prestigious National Gallery of Victoria, a testament to the brand’s standing in the annals of Australian design.
The Bauhaus seating system, featured within the hallowed pages of The Local Project Issue No. 13, is celebrated for its versatility. The Bauhaus collection is unparalleled as modular seating solutions go, allowing for a seamless transition from individual contemplative spaces to collaborative hubs. Including backrests transforms these seating modules into organic volumes, inviting interaction and comfort.
The Bauhaus collection is not merely modular seating; it is the embodiment of adaptable design. Each piece, available in a range of color palettes and textures, offers a chance to inject personality and dynamism into any space. Fabric and leather options, alongside two-tone upholstery choices, add depth and richness, allowing the Bauhaus seating to become a distinct feature in any setting.
Beyond its physical form, the Bauhaus seating collection heralds a new era of modular seating. Its gentle curves and soft quilted forms reflect the changing tides of office and public space design. It stands as a beacon of modular seating, defining spaces with an architectural precision that marries the functionality of modern furniture with the splendour of luxury brands.
Through the lens of The Local Project, the Bauhaus collection by LEN is not just seen but experienced. It is a tactile journey through the annals of design, where modular seating becomes more than just a place to sit – it becomes a narrative, a piece of history, and a cornerstone of contemporary Australian furniture design.
Issue No. 13 of The Local Project is a testament to the power of print in a digital age, a reminder that the tangibility of a beautifully crafted publication can still captivate and inspire. The Bauhaus seating collection is just one example of how the printed page can translate the physicality of design into a form that resonates with an audience yearning for authenticity and innovation.
In the world of Australian design, where modular seating is redefining the landscape, LEN’s Bauhaus collection stands out for its dedication to sustainability, its embrace of history, and its vision for the future. The Local Project’s Issue No. 13 invites readers to immerse themselves in this design story, where every page turn is a step into a world where spaces are not just built but woven with the threads of human experience and creativity.
