For Detroit Design Month 2019, design studio Form&Seek curated an exhibition of works by local designers entitled Substance, so named for its focus on material exploration. Above, Aaron Blendowski’s aptly named Popsicle Stick Chair celebrates the durability of cypress wood. Co-curator Sophie Yan’s own Knottoman was created by hand-knotting vegetable-tanned leather on a steel grid cube. The mirror is by Thing Thing, a studio that specializes in hand-sorting and manipulating recycled plastic. Photo 1 of 14 in For the Most Exciting Design Scene No One’s Talking About, Head to Detroit
