In his new exhibition Floating Things, furniture maker, designer and artist Floris Hovers shifts his research from the city to the water. The same materials, the same simplicity, but now in the form of boats!
As with his cars, tractors and skylines, the boat is reduced to its simplest form. His boats are almost childlike, nostalgic forms of an idea.
In Floating Things too, Hovers' use of colour is unmistakable: bright, unmixed areas of colour that make his work recognisable at a glance. No nuance, no transition, but colour as a building block, just as essential as the form.
