Tobias Gutmann at Spazio Rossana Orlandi |
In the area of experience design, Tobias Gutmann's Face-O-Mat is a welcome addition to the Milan Furniture Fair.
Placed squarely in the middle of Rossana Orlandi's beehive of a space, Gutmann has set up an analogue portrait machine with a photo booth principle. He sits inside the booth with a pen, paint, paper, and change (each portrait costs 5 euros), and the wall in front of him is covered with reference images.

The subject sits on the other side and chooses which kind of portrait he or she desires: colour/black, abstract/concrete, and natural/facelift.
