Known for her 2020 Disco Chair, L.A.'s Rachel Shillander is an artist and architect whose practice is focused on domestic design, construction, and building technology. Through the objectification of architectural concepts, her studio works explore intangible ideas of ethics, nostalgia, place, time, interpersonal relationships, and the human condition. By using familiar materials, forms, and traditional building systems, these abstract concepts are turned into accessible scale, semi-functional maquettes.
