Ce que tu vois est ce que tu es. With this statement the Italian-Belgian artist duo Denicolai & Provoost launches a playful muddle about the role of the artwork, the influence of its surroundings, authenticity and its existence as incidental remains of an original idea.

SIGNS-Colour Wood2

This series of side tables designed by Scholten & Baijings (Amsterdam) explore crafts traditions and the characteristics of thinned wood. The symbolic superimposition of a contemporary conception and traditional values and techniques are reflected in overlaying various transparent layers: the texture of the wood, stain colour and printed graphic patterns. Colour wood is available from Japanese company Karimoku.
