Designheads is a cute profile series featuring members of our community and their relationship to the world of design.
When people talk shit about Instagram (though not without reason), I do think it’s important to point out the importance of the democratization of portfolio-sharing that social networking apps have given rise to. Case-in-point: my ongoing fascination with the industrial beauty of Arnaud Eubelen’s work, which I discovered scrolling on IG.
Arnaud’s work elevates practical elements of design — simple hardware, heavy joinery — into something that imagines its own kind of future. Perforated metal sheets, concrete slabs, are industrial tubing are the ingredients that Arnaud remixes into work that falls somewhere between design and sculpture. It’s quite special, and I’m a continual fan of it all.
