The rise of the plinth in home decor is a nod to the fluid line that exists between art and design
A new Insta-worthy addition to New York City’s skyline made its appearance this June. Far from being another starchitect building of dazzling proportions, this newbie is a bronze sculpture that’s been cleverly positioned to form part of the surrounding cityscape.
‘Brick House’ by US-based architect Simone Leigh is a 5m-high bust that is part of a rotating commission of public art on the city’s High Line, a picturesque walkway that’s been created on a former overhead railway line. Placed on what has been named the High Line Plinth, it will be elevated above shoulder level until September next year, when another work will take its place on the large-scale display plinth.
