The Drip Collection is the debut exhibition for Alcova Miami by Pennsylvania-based Unform Studio. Blending the contrasting forms of sleek industrial metal and the organic chaos of pooling paint, Drip Collection brings the vibrant colors of Miami to life as bold collectible furniture. Informed by early American Mahantango Valley painted furniture—and built in the very same Pennsylvania valleys—the Drip Collection takes paint as its basis, but rather than using it as applied decoration, makes paint its entire form.

The Drip Collection explores the idea of improvisation in furniture design—the melding together of random, organic forms with industrial production processes and materials. Taking inspiration from post-war American art in movements like Abstract Expressionism, where artists such as Helen Frankenthaler experimented with relinquishing control to the material and medium at hand, Drip Collection similarly allows the randomness of paint to fuel and structure the form.

Unform Studio Presents The Drip Collection is in Room 48 on the 2nd floor.
