Farrell Hundley’s Furnishings for a Dark New Golden Age

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:32 GMT

William Farrell and Elliott Hundley have been thinking about the past — specifically the myths and tastes of historical civilizations. From Ancient Greece to the Renaissance, and the halls of Versailles, periods of advanced philosophy have coincided with explosions of aesthetic opulence that contained within them the seeds of the chasmic social and economic inequality and decadence that would be their undoing. In 2019 they founded design studio Farrell Hundley, and since then on the theory that we are currently living in another such time, they’ve been making shiny, mutated, dangerous objects for the palaces of today’s dark new golden age.Farrell Hundley: Polyxena Mirror (Courtesy of Friedman Benda)Through their unique collaboration and interpretive relationship to functional design, the pair — each of whom maintains a separate fine art practice — explores resonant passages of myth and poetry from the West’s oldest societies.
