modus operandi by Matylda Krzykowski

Matylda Krzykowski presents ‘modus operandi’ (method of operation), a series of wooden archetype chairs that are reinterpreted through a distinct pattern of methods.   

Led by an obsession for clean-cut form, the product design graduate has created a number of archetypal forms that relate with the common conception of a chair.   

A chair, in most contexts, is a functional object of utility, commonly used to sit on. Yet, Matylda distorts and extracts the functionality through her ‘modus operandi’, exerting and gaining dominance over the chairs, transforming them into her conceptual pieces.   

She proceeds like a remorseful serial killer, demonstrating a hedonistic and sometimes crazed approach, before reassessing her ‘victim’, realising her conduct and ceasing.
