Imagine your grandparent’s house and their couches sealed in an all-encompassing, skillfully-seamed, slippery, crystal-clear slipcover. Now insert yourself into the scene of a New York Fashion Week runway in 2019. One is comfortable and homey, the other is exciting and potentially anxiety-inducing. The Sandy Liang Runway design attempts to bring the comfort and acceptance felt in your grandparent’s house to New York Fashion Week with the installation of a custom designed, oversized, slipcovered couch. The sinuous curves reference the multiple positions and views allowed by ordinary sectional sofas while contextually adapting to the existing building’s columnar structure. Cushions are pink insulation rolls, which are economical “found objects” used in everyday construction in order to elevate their characteristics of color, shape, and flexibility. The slipcover is two continuous rolls of clear vinyl (top and sides) form-fittingly seamed together.
