Artist Florentijn Hofman,
famous for his Rubber Duck (2007) and many other projects, has once again
tapped into his reservoir of caprice and whim.
Little Factory is a three-dimensional oversized pictogram of an industrial zone made out of steel frame and corrugated steel roof sheets.
It is situated at the
Azeven Noord (along the N31) an industrial site in progress at Drachten (NL).
The work questions the
architecture on business parks as well as the use of those sites. It's not only
a landmark but it could be also used for an artist in residence program.
Little Factory is a
cartoonized version of an industrial factory, and features three white
“windows” and two chimney stacks.
The steel structure is
simply built from a frame and corrugated roof sheets, and the comic look gently
prods at the relationship between building and site.
The metal frame building, wrapped
in black corrugated steel roof sheets, represents a landmark next to the
highway.
The interior contains a
wooden loft and stone pavers that make up the floor, with retractable rolling
shutters over the three large windows that illuminate the 5 x 12 x 14 meter construct.
