Architect Luis Pons turns ordinary materials into unexpected objects.
Using mass-produced picture frame moldings, Pons applied bands of ready-made frame elements to 1950s furniture, transforming ordinary armoires and credenzas into attractive new pieces. For Metal Rain, he used a series of suspended stainless steel ball-chains to create a hanging lamp that resembles a rainshower. And Mutables is a series of pieces that "allow for the possibility of change and that, when experienced, touch all the senses" per the designer. One of these, the Pinhead Door (or screen), uses panels of metal pins that, when touched, create easy-to-change designs and images.
