Virgil Abloh’s work in the furniture and design space broke boundaries.
. It featured chairs that appeared to sink into the floor—a commentary on the climate-change-related rising sea levels that threaten to engulf the city. His furniture united form, function, and thoughts on the future—no matter who he was working with: When Off-White collaborated with Ginori 1735—the storied, centuries-old Italian ceramics brand—Abloh produced a clean white plate with black, graffiti-inspired text.
Although he was a regular at fairs around the world, Abloh didn’t gatekeep his designs. Far from it: The same year he showed in Switzerland, he also launched a collaboration with Ikea., it included Windsor chairs with built-in doorstops; a white, numberless clock with a face that said “temporary;” a green turf doormat emblazoned “wet grass;” and a toolbox that read “homework” .
In his short time on earth, that’s exactly what Abloh did: many things. And as a result, in the words of Design Miami’s Craig Robins, “It’s not an exaggeration to say Virgil changed the world.”
