INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
“As a designer I feel like an explorer travelling the world out of curiosity or being sent with a mission, investigating, asking questions and making connections.”
A fallen tree can be very well used to sit on. If you should add some back classic bronze seat, this fallen tree can become a real piece of furniture, a successful combination between nature and culture. Jurgen Bey, the designer of this work, clearly expresses the idea that it is ridiculous to transport trees when they can be used locally.
Who is Jurgen Bey? Visionary designer Jurgen Bey is a Dutch who likes to deal with things at a superio level. Renowned for his truck bench made out of a tree trunk with classic back seat, cast in bronze, Bey is known for works such as Light Shade Shade, a lamp made out of mirror reflecting its surroundings during the day, becoming a chandelier when turned on, or Ear Chairs, some large armchairs with giant ears that allow people to have private conversations in public spaces.
Deeply interested in the emotional side of things, the Dutch designer Jurgen Bey creates images and new works directly making you think but also talk about the value of modern industrial production. His work stands at the boundary between art and design, treating the environment as a treasure waiting to be discovered. Most times Bey takes the time to observe people’s actions and discover certain intrinsic qualities that are often overlooked. To achieve this he ventures in a journey beyond the ordinary, creating his own way, an original way.
