Aesop Shop Upcycled art Installation by Cheungvogl"ο νεος ειναι ωραιος αλλα ο παλιος αλλιως"

Wowwwww.... for another Upcycled art installation at the aesop shop (Natural products for skin, hair and body) located in lane Crawford, Hong Kong and designed by chinese/german architecture firm cheungvogl. The planks that are naturally aged timber from chinese boats, left in their original state and made into two floating cabinets.
Although the functions and general shapes of the units are set, the actual form and detail is determined by the sizes and general imperfections found in the material itself. the design is a representation of time, as the history of the boat planks are visible through the warn quality of the wood. the natural decay of the installation is made more prominent by its modern, clean and controlled surroundings.

When you see interior masterpieces like that, you tend to again think...... and i will quote an old Greek saying "ο νεος ειναι ωραιος αλλα ο παλιος αλλιως'( O neos einai oreos alla o palios allios)..... that means that the New is nice but the Old is differently nice.
