MACHINE-A x Objects IV Life China Exclusive Presentation
Fri 4 Nov
Objects IV Life, the new brand founded by artist Daniel Arsham, officially landed in the MACHINE-A Shanghai store, which is the first offline presentation of Objects IV Life in mainland China. Also, Chapter 001 Collection is exclusively sold by MACHINE-A.
The brand is the product of a joint vision with Stefano Martinetto, CEO and co-founder, and is also an extension of Daniel’s artistic practice.
With a collectors mindset, Objects IV Life comprises foundational pieces intended to build a wardrobe of uniforms for a creative way of life. Designed between New York City and London, all garments are made in Portugal and Los Angeles with custom hardware coming from Italy. For the denim the brand uses technical innovations to transform dead-stock materials from the past into objects of the future. Everything is like a beautiful poem left behind by the natural precipitation of time.
“Objects IV Life is an evolving proof of concept, an endless work in progress, a tangible manifesto for change: you are the vehicle.”
Daniel Arsham
Chapter 001 includes functional outerwear pieces such as Four Pocket Jacket, Workwear Blazer, Denim Jacket, Moleskin Hoodie Padded and Moleskin Shirt Jacket. Jeans are offered in three styles - wide leg, straight leg and baggy - with a color palette of pale pink, powder blue, patina green, anthracite and more. The collection also includes a canvas rectangular tote, steel-toed utility boot, cap and key charm object, plus tees and hoodies.
“Objects IV Life is the product of a meeting of minds and a shared ambition between Daniel and myself to establish a brand that creates elevated workwear and accessories that are intended not for a single season, but for a lifetime.”
Stefano Martinetto
At the same time, to coincide with Shanghai Contemporary Art Week, the MACHINE-A Shanghai store also collaborated with Objects IV Life by Daniel Arsham to present a month-long art and creative project. Through the perspective of Objects IV Life, combined with the rich blue tones of the collection, Daniel Arsham's zen garden is displayed in different forms in the MACHINE-A Shanghai store. Through this project, we hope to tell everyone that in the busy and noisy city life, you may wish to let go of the chores at hand and calm down to enjoy a moment of tranquility.
In addition, some limited edition of Daniel Arsham's artworks and the book "Arsham-ism" are displayed in the store. During the exhibition, consumers who purchase Objects IV Life at MACHINE-A stores also have the opportunity to receive a brand zine signed by Daniel Arsham.
