Daniel Loves Objects is the alias for a very talented industrial designer based in Singapore who created some rather unusual furniture pieces. The “Of War & Wits & Power” bookshelf depicts a golden army guarding their most prized possessions.
The author explains his inspiration:
“Driven by the recent crisis of certain countries who got very uptight over issues of being asked to disarm their missile test launched, their alarming action to remain hostile and persistent in their belief had stirred me to create this part of a furniture combination to depict their behavioral trait, a bookshelf with their golden army, strategically placed underneath, to uphold and to protect their ultimate plans,frozen in time for all to see”
The “At Your Command” lamps (shown below without their power chords) features a similar golden mannequin, this time representing the designers view on the evolution of the classical lamp into an object of which every movement can be customized.
