High Museum of Art (Atlanta, United States of America)
The High Museum of Art stands as a beacon illuminating Atlanta’s artistic landscape, boasting an impressive collection encompassing 19th-century American decorative arts alongside groundbreaking contemporary art. Its striking white enamel facade and innovative roof system create a serene backdrop for experiencing art history and fostering community engagement.
Oki Sato, founder and creative director of the Japanese design group nendo, was trained as an architect and has since developed a reputation for designing objects that are both deceptively simple and poetic. Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake challenged nendo to create something with the byproduct from the textile manufacturing process of creating pleats in clothing; the resulting Cabbage chair repurposes that waste material. Sato peels away the individual layers of small, soft sheets until a charming seating surface is revealed.
