Facilitator
2008
Anodized Aluminum
Similar to architecture and furniture, Facilitator orchestrates how people behave amongst one another. Providing an intimate space for a small group of people to conduct a debate, the slim, symmetric aluminum structure frames areas for two participants to face one another while being flanked on either side by a group of observers. The aesthetic brings to mind a courthouse, where reasoned arguments are presented in a regal but civil atmosphere. The construction is honest and rational, while the golden anodized finish suggests an important event takes place around the object.
