IKEA ART EVENT 2021 Gelchop TWO LED Flashlight Allen Key Shape Set Silver & Blue
IKEA ART EVENT 2021 LED flashlights, Allen Key Shaped Set of Two: One Silver + One Blue. Tokyo-based creative collective Gelchop use their hands to bring creative ideas to life. In their practice, Gelchop deconstruct everyday objects by combining them with different elements to give them a fun and compelling function. Recalling Marcel Duchamp's'readymades,' Gelchop's artworks and products make us look at things in a different way, prompting a reflection upon an object's'true' purpose in the world. The Vision: Shining a light on an iconic IKEA item. Gelchop's ideas often emerge from thinking about how to improve the quality of daily life. According to the collective, the inspiration for their pieces comes from everyday'aha' moments.
By combining ordinary items with unexpected elements to make new objects, their work grants a humorous and surreal view on living with things. For this collection, they have put their own spin on what is arguably the most iconic IKEA item of all: the Allen key, and have created a table lamp and flashlight (available in metallic blue and silver) based around its design.
In their view, the humble Allen key has not gotten the attention it deserves, so they decided to shine a light on it (quite literally) - transforming this tiny yet very functional object into an absurdly large version of itself, with a new purpose. The modest Allen key has new value as it's no longer just a practical tool to assist in the making of furniture, but a fantastic art object too. We are always thinking of ways to use existing items and combining the concepts or phenomena of different things to change the meaning or application of the original item in a fun, playful way.
