To coincide with the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago exhibitions Pop Art Design and The Street, The Store and The Silver Screen, we were commissioned to design a furniture installation that would acknowledge the themes of the shows. Taking reference from pop art – a trope of which was the co-opting of imagery and objects from popular culture – we created Quilt benches and tables, using rigidized stainless steel sheet, a material often used in the fabrication of food trucks and haulage vehicles. The Quilt benches and tables were shown alongside a selection of our Alien Americana photographs.
