"The Future Will Be Chrome" by Rirkrit Tiravanija.
Chrome Ping Pong Table
Cumulus Studios was founded in 2008 by Nathalie Karg, a landscape designer. The studio is giving established and emerging contemporary artists the opportunity to create functional objects for the outdoors.
The collection encompasses furniture, games, sport and garden utility. Cumulus Studios is giving artists the freedom to execute a personal fantasy with its only limitation being functionality and weather resistance. In turn, the participating artists embraced the invitation with great enthusiasm and wit.
The First Collection was launched in the spring of 2009. Collaborating artists are Andrea Blum, John Bock, Jim Drain, Elmgreen and Dragset, Liam Gillick, Piero Golia, Mary Heilmann, Charles Long, Jan Mancuska, Allan McCollum, Pentti Monkkonen, Rob Pruitt, Ugo Rondinone, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Rob Wynne, and Aaron Young.
The second collection, with a new roster of artist, will be presented in the fall of 2009.
