Modernica and longtime collaborator and Juxtapoz friend Cleon Peterson have teamed up for a collection to support Cleon’s own family’s relief efforts after losing their home in the Eaton Fire in Altadena in January. In response, Modernica is releasing a special collection—The Divide—to directly support Cleon and his family. This limited-edition series features nine unique Upholstered Side Shells on Eiffel Tower Bases and an Upholstered Arm Shell Rocker, each hand-signed by Cleon. The collection embodies his bold and uncompromising artistic vision, transforming devastation into a testament of survival.
“The stark contrast of black and white in these designs represents the space between despair and resilience, between destruction and creation. It is a meditation on loss, but also on survival,” Cleon reflects. “When things are at their lowest, we stand at a place where we must make a choice: to be consumed by devastation or to step forward into something new. This series stands at that intersection—a reminder that even in destruction, there is the possibility of transformation.”
The collection releases on Modernica.net on March 20th with 100% of profits from this collection will go directly to Cleon and his family to help them rebuild.
