Paris-based design firm Studio Booboon is led by Jisu Yun and Richard Bone and it launched their first-ever exhibition during Milan Design Week this year with the playful reappropriation curation. It is located in Gallery Assab One and the focus is to explore the idea of reappropriation. The show highlighted furniture and lighting that have been created in their studio along with collaborative work.
Aligned with the exhibition at Milan Design Week, reappropriation nods to what is noted as “the act of taking a fragment or element from its original context and giving it new meaning or significance within a different setting.” Two of the most notable pieces from the shoe include the Rabbit chair and the Silhouette Chair with curved silhouettes and minimal design aesthetics.
