New York based designer Ron Gilad has recently been working on these beautifully minimal objects; a project called 'Spaces, Etc.'

The sculptural series is essentially Gilad's take on familar domestic shapes, but reduced down to the bare outlines and realised in enamelled metals like silver or brass.

Whether its the evolution of a chair, a line of doors, the corners of walls, or whole interior spaces; the effect is a strong sense of the real thing, its pure essence captured in line.

"The process of translating ideas into three dimensional functional objects is something that has always intrigued me. I am not inventing anything new. I’m basing my thinking, research, and creative process on what I see, know, and what already exists. Almost naively I ask the question, why is it like this?

The visual tension between the lines is so strong, the objects show the signs of optical illusions, stretching the frontier between transparent and tangible, functional and abstract." says Gilad.
