Charles Burnand Gallery will present four collectable works of art at this year’s Salon Art + Design at Park Avenue Armory, New York City, from 10th-14th November. The London-based gallery will show three chairs by Puerto Rican artist and designer Reynold Rodriguez and a glass artwork by Dawn Bendick. The pieces will be shown within the Collectors Lounge, curated by fast-rising interiors firm and branding studio frenchCALIFORNIA founded in 2016 by Paris-born interior designer Guillaume Coutheillas. Charles Burnand founder, Simon Stewart,will also take part in a panel discussion during the show.
Salon presents the world’s best design – vintage, modern and contemporary – enhanced by blue-chip 20th century art. The show features leading art and design galleries from all over the world, spotlighting the trends of collectible design. This year’s Collectors Lounge is a high-glam space envisioned as a tranquil haven away from the buzzy energy of the fair. In addition to contemporary design pieces from Charles Burnand and Bernd Goeckler, the space has integrated acoustic technology from Apple with the presence of HomePod mini.
Founded in 2009 by Simon Stewart, Charles Burnand has established an impressive reputation for representing talented international designers and artists creating works for interior designers, architects and private collectors. Stewart started the studio to make bespoke pieces for discerning clients, and soon realised that collectors and designers wanted one-off pieces made to very exacting standards.
Reynold Rodriguez
Multi-disciplinary designer and artist Rodriguez (b.1971) creates furniture, interiors and special projects; his work includes handmade furniture and lighting made from plaster and salvaged wood, imbued with distinct character that is both familiar and curious at the same time. In 2017, the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria led Rodriguez to restructure his work to produce pieces charged with deeper emotional and political history. His work often seems dreamlike, caused by fascination with impermanence and belief that every work of art refers to a moment or a feeling that we can never relive.
Dawn Bendick
TIME ROCK STACK XV, 2022 Unique Piece, Dichroic glass
Dawn Bendick (b. 1977) is an artist working with time, light and multitone glass. Time Rock Stack XV is from a body of work inspired by cairns, stacks of cantilevered rocks commonly found near trails and bodies of water purposely balanced as ceremonial totems that mark a place or a journey. The works are made from cast stones and relics gathered from a medieval church in dichroic glass embedded with metallic particles that react chromatically to the frequency of light. The pieces address natural transience and respond to their surroundings and are a way of tapping into our peripheral senses and heightening awareness of changes in seasons, atmospheric light and weather.
