It is deeply gratifying when gifts I have made to the RISD Museum are used to engage and inspire the current and future generations of artist, designers and museum visitors. Designer Consigner in Atlanta Doubletake is a consignment store with an upscale edge. On march 15 artist Lynn Harlow who on her website statement asks “How little is enough?” and RISD Industrial Design Professor Seth Stern who has designed furniture for numerous manufacturers, will have a dialogue about the Judd chair.

One the items being featured in a new series DOUBLE TAKE: COLOR is a chair that I gave to the Museum designed by Donald Judd… 100 volunteer-run, Coat Angels give thousands of children in Chicago each a brand new coat, fleece. I have seen a number of these dialogues, they are fantastic! DoubleTake Design is humbled to be able to help get the word out about this amazing organization.
The RISD Museum often focuses attention on a single object in an exciting program they call ‘DOUBLE TAKE’ where two different art/design educators or curators offer different perspectives or ‘takes’ on a single object in the museum collection. The viewer sees the grain pattern and automatically thinks wood and warm rather than being immediately struck by the cool effect of the concrete.Donald Judd (1928-1994) Chair,1993 – Finish Color Plywood – RISD MuseumĪ double take is an act of quickly looking at something that is surprising or unusual a second time after looking at it a moment earlier. Perhaps that explains the impression of the woodgrain in concrete.
While Brutalism had largely disappeared by the mid-1980s it has made a resurgence in recent years, though in a somewhat softened, or less brutal, form. As this appears to be an imitation of raw concrete it seems to fall under the category of Brutalism, a design movement popular from the 1950s into the 1970s. Many of the earliest wallpapers in the museum collection are imitative designs. Wallpapers with woodgrain or faux bois patterns have always been popular.

It keeps the design interesting and gives it some depth. I personally like wallpapers that have this effect, appearing one way on first glance then revealing something different upon closer inspection. This certainly applies to the B 100, raising doubt whether it is woodgrain or cast cement. They liked their designs to challenge the observer by creating a little uncertainty. The designers that made up Ginbande-Design, Klaus-Achim Heine and Uwe Fischer, referred to their designs are experiential works as they appear one way on first glance but closer inspection reveals something different. This is strictly conjecture on my part but does seem to fit the character of the Ginbande-Design team. The raised grain of the wood brought about by the moisture in the wet cement is readily apparent. Closer inspection reveals this may actually be the imprint of a wood form or mold left in fresh concrete. This design, with its cool gray colors and rather scratchy texture, appears very cool, rather the opposite of the woodgrain effect. Woodgrain designs, usually printed with earthy colors, impart a warm feeling. But the ominous gray color makes one stop to reconsider, maybe there is more to this than just a woodgrain pattern. The knots, woodgrain pattern, and individual planks are all clearly visible.
On first glance the B 100 wallpaper appears to be a woodgrain design.
