Objects that hold a room

Some pieces want a shelf. Others want the floor. Living room, office, showroom or a desk corner: the choice follows the mass of the object.

• In a living room, one piece, a plain wall, and the line of sight from the sofa.
• In an office, matte surfaces compete less with a screen.
• At a showroom door, one glossy colour can stand alone.
• On a desk, small patterned pieces. The gorilla and the horse go to the floor.

Scale

The right size is set by the sofa, the ceiling and how far you stand. The guide explains what to look at when a piece enters a room.

Pop art culture

Pop art, designer toys, scale and care. A short answer, then the detail.

• Pop art

  What is pop art?

  Pop art is a way of making art from the look of everyday commercial life. This essay defines the term, places its origins, and keeps the idea usable in a room.

• Bearbrick

  What Is a BE@RBRICK?

  The block bear figure Medicom Toy introduced in 2001: its form, its scale language, and how catalog bears differ.

• KAWS

  Who is KAWS

  KAWS is the name used by Brian Donnelly, born in Jersey City in 1974. He started in graffiti. The Companion is the calmest way into the work.

• Designer toys

  What is a designer toy?

  A designer toy is a figure that carries a decision about surface, stance, and scale, beyond the simple fact of a recognizable character.

• Interiors

  Choosing scale

  Scale is the figure’s relationship to the furniture, the ceiling, and the distance from which you first see it. A measurement on a box does not choose the room. A standing silhouette and a gesture that takes air overhead are not the same job.

• Interiors

  Cleaning collectible figures

  Dust on a figure comes off with a soft dry brush or a microfiber cloth. Alcohol, acetone, and a dishwasher are not the tools. Cleaning does not bring value back.

The selection

Popüler Sanat brings pop-art objects and collectible figures together for interiors. On its own, a piece should be able to become the focus of the room.
