Objects are…
The thrill of novelty
The joy of curation
Their sense of history
Their captivating aesthetic
The essence of their memories
Objects can hold different meanings for every one of us, and since the beginning of human history, objects and tools with different functionalities have been part of our everyday life, from pleasing our senses or adorning our spaces, to facilitating specific tasks.
The true value of objects and how they can impact our lives can sometimes be overlooked. From functional objects infused with beauty to the ‘one off’ piece that holds an emotional connection, objects sometimes have the ability of carrying the sentiment of fulfilment.
At Delirarium, we aim to create not only an object but a meaning.
LONDON LOVE COLLECTION
The Londoner Bench
Could London be transformed into a seat? If so, how would you imagine it? How would you represent a widely diverse city full of iconic imagery and historic places, but constantly adapting to the requirements of contemporary living? London is vibrant, a place where the old has been beautifully merged with the new.
The prestige, opulence and stylish side of the city is reflected in the ‘London red’ upholstery of the seat, while the mechanical steel frame represents London’s always-evolving modern side. Its unique yet instantly recognisable shape aims to evoke different perceptions in the user; it is in a way a love letter to London, and its inhabitants.
Designed in 2013 by Delirarium’s founder, Estefanía Borriño, while she was still completing her studies in Design and Innovation, The Londoner Bench is Estefania’s tribute to London. Putting together some of London's iconic landmarks in a seat, it is created to be a juxtaposition between functionality, context representation and sculpture.
The Brick Chair
Bricks… One of those overlooked and unassuming things that surrounds us. Continuing with the idea of context representation and created as a continuation of the London Love collection, The Brick chair is simply inspired by all those brick walls and buildings found, not only in London but in many constructions around the UK and the world.
The meaning is not only to represent the city through a material that is part of London’s core building scenario, but to present bricks as a material out of context. This is achieved by using them to build a functional object, like a chair, with an unfamiliar construction material for that object, and where the material itself has also been reimagined in an aluminium version.
