Haim Steinbach

plastic laminated wood shelf, glass Glo-ball lamp and metal Juicy Salif citrus squeezer

2001

A sleek, minimalist shelf unit serves as a stage for two iconic objects of contemporary design: a frosted glass Glo-ball lamp by Jasper Morrison and a Philippe Starck-designed Juicy Salif citrus squeezer in polished metal. Steinbach arranges these consumer objects with deliberate precision, transforming them from functional items into sculptural specimens on display. The work interrogates the cult of designer objects, consumer desire, and the fine line between utility and aesthetic fetishism.
