AMUSANT (in French — funny, jokey) — furniture project by architect Max Yarovoy.
As opposed to architectural precision, AMUSANT`s anthem is: «your first instinct is always right». Every object is an embodiment of the first idea caught by words, chunky doodle, or paper model. By virtue of being uncertain ideas of the new objects comes from everyday life, memes, world of fashion and art.

The LADDER bookcase is an enlarged copy of the paper model from TRIMMINGS series. «The bookcase is conceived as an architectural construction scaled to a room size. It`s a collection of allusions: there are parts playing like atriums, cantilevers, beams catching the central part of composition. The proportions refer to the fantasm architecture, more amusing and unrestrained that the real one».
