This lot was donated by Design, Bitches with proceeds benefitting Hollyhock House.

Created for the MAK Center exhibition Soft Schindler, Drawing Rooms is a flexible, canvas-upholstered mass that can function as a daybed or screen and is scaled to match the outdoor hearth of the Schindler House’s west courtyard. Drawings printed on both sides of the fabric follow a whimsical trompe l’oeil journey through the life of the house. The hearth is a gathering space, and the placement of Drawing Rooms at the outdoor hearth positions the fireplace as a wormhole connecting inside and outside through time and space. The work invites visitors to get lost visually and journey inwards. Ways of inscribing and recording artistic endeavors are embedded in the drawing, suggesting that the house is at once a record, a shelter, and a site of speculation. 

Design, Bitches is a integrative architecture and design studio that partners with unique clients to create meaningful spaces.
