With Odyssey, designer Andrés Reisinger explores the intrusion of the digital onto the physical worlds and the liminal terrain that differentiates the two.

Comprised of three pieces—each initially conceived of in the digital realm and then made physical—Odyssey challenges us to re-think how we contextualize design.

The pieces are overtly futuristic: Complicated Sofa (above) resembles a tangled mess of polycarbonate tubing, perhaps at a moment of inflation and transformation into something entirely other.

The Crowded Elevator chair recalls a plum-colored, pleated balloon, whose contours have been primed and primped into the confined space of a tubular steel frame.

And the Bold Chair has a similarly bulbous aspect: oversized and perhaps too accommodating with its monolithic construction of some extruded space-age polymer.

By placing these (both real and imagined) objects into fantastic but also recognizable landscapes, Reisinger comments on the dissolution between organic and constructed, between what we used to conceived of as “real” versus “imaginary.”
