Hamtramck’s Design 99 offers ‘not necessarily furniture’

Hamtramck’s Design 99 duo, husband and wife Mitch Cope and Gina Richert,
are bringing together local artists for a furniture, but really isn’t
furniture, show.

Additionally, Design 99 is launching a publications department inside their store on Jos. Campau called D99. Their first two pubs are A People’s Guide to Detroit – personal narratives and individual experiences of living in the city – and Shipwrecked – photography by Cope, Scott Hocking, and Corine Smith.

Excerpt:

Design 99 is pleased to present ‘not necessarily functional furniture’, an exhibit honoring the common objects we live with by rendering them not entirely practical and/or functional. New work and some reinterpreted older works will be included by artists Mark Moskovitz, Abigail Newbold, Chris Riddell, Clinton Snider, Team D99, and Graem Whyte.

This show brings together work exhibiting an ideas-based approach to furniture, revealing personalities and lives beyond our immediate control.
