Firmitas, Utilitas et Venustas

TOOLS FOR PROGRESS is a laboratory for art and design based in Rotterdam (NL) and founded by Cédric Van Parys and Lu Liang. Inspired by architectural elements and natural landscapes, they make objects and scenographies. The spatial assemblages deliberately obfuscate the boundary between object and display, always creating a holistic exhibition experience.

This is the scenography for Tools for Progress’ show at Collectible Design Fair 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. TFP’s first collection—a series of fine jewelries, solid bookstands and arched ashtrays—are presented as part of a cityscape.
