Kluver : The making of magic
05.01.10
Magical Khufu : 823 was created over a period of three days. All of the fabrication and craftsmanship was performed by our close friend, designer, fabricator and other-worldly artisan, Kristian Kluver. Our relationship with Kristian has grown and matured over the last decade in a manner that supports an exceptional level of collaboration. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s very special and we value it highly. Working with friends can be difficult, we operate a studio comprised of three near and dear, so we know the deal. But, the potential of working with those closest to you is spectacular, and we’ve found the outcomes tend to far outweigh the pitfalls. In our trade ideas, concepts, and visions for a piece of art, a chair, a logomark, a typeface, a poster, an installation – countless things that could be made and shared with the world, flutter in and out of our busy little brains all day long. Rarely does their creation, their ultimate manifestation, live up to our initial vision. In the case of Magical Khufu : 823, Kristian far surpassed our vision and created a truly beautiful work beyond our imagination. It’s not often in life that ones dreams, even the little ones, are realized on this sort of level. And, when it does happen, it’s a wonderful feeling. While our 11″ x 7″ sculptural creation pays homage to The Great Pyramid of Giza, this blog post, be it meager and simple-minded, pays homage to our friend Kristian and his spectacular abilities. Below is a truncated visual summary of Kristian’s workflow during the making of Magical Khufu.
