dzn_Furniture-II-by-Atelier-Van-Lieshout-at-Carpenters-Workshop-Gallery-Squ.jpg Atelier Van Lieshout of Rotterdam is best known for its sculptures that look like human bodies or body parts.

If you like them, and you happen to be in London, you can check out some of his furniture at the Carpenter Workshop Gallery this week. dzn_Furniture-II-by-Atelier-Van-Lieshout-at-Carpenters-Workshop-Gallery-01.jpg Cradle to Cradle 01.jpg Les Mammiferes.jpg Atelier Van Lieshout via Dezeen
