Irregular Pentagonal Antiprism

Here are a couple images of the DJ Booth we have on exhibit at Land of Tomorrow. The form is based on an irregular pentagonal antiprism, and clad in padded sections of gold-sparkle vinyl and cheap maroon carpet. Pictures of it in action forthcoming...

We just completed a frenzied three days of construction on Outcropping, our installation at the Camp Bisco music festival. A couple of hours after we finished work, Skrillex opened the event with a wild two hour set. Here's a quick selection of photos of the first night's party by Isa Wipfli.

Branches in Progress

We still have not properly photographed the branches we designed for Pin-Up, but I did just find this progress shot of a detail mid-construction.

Blurry Trees for Pin-Up

Pin Up Centerpiece

We recently designed a series of tesselated structures for the launch of Pin-Up Magazine issue 7 (which features Bureau V). The pieces are hybrids between found birch branches and finished birch 1x1 boards. Better images and more details soon.

SSWTR Still Life

SSWTR 2010 » Installation Detail

We recently designed an installation at Saatchi & Saatchi for Mary Ping’s 2010 collection, Slow and Steady Wins the Race. The design consisted of display stands that housed still life installations by artists and fashion world people working in New York. Here is a quick shot of one of the stands that I took on my phone. The whole endeavor was cheap, fast, and fly by night, with a focus on producing something subtle and elegant within the atmosphere of the brand.

While updating the Bureau V website I found this great 70s film stock rendering of the almost final design for our Abacus installation at the Whitney.

Abacus At The Whitney Museum

Abacus Concept by Bureau V

We’re working with our friend Lars Jan to design and build a site-specific performance and installation piece at the Whitney Museum as part of the upcoming retrospective Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe. The above image is kind of a teaser, but also strongly related to design ideas we’re exploring for the project. The installation opens in September, so more to come very soon.
