In the hands of the artist Furniture becomes an art.
An armchair is a functional unit. Creating designer furniture, the artist focuses on comfort and convenience, but the difference between mass production and furniture from the designer in history and attention to details.
What story can a chair design tell us?
The hopes, beliefs and ambitions of an entire generation are organically woven into the design of the chair. Furniture models that most accurately convey the spirit of the era in which they were created are recognized as true classics.
THE WASSILY CHAIR - MARCEL BREUER 1925
A symbol of faith in functionalism, the first half of the 20th century. The end of the Victorian era and widespread industrialization dictated confidence in reaching the peak of technological and social evolution.
The chair is inspired by a close-to-perfection bicycle design. Created from bent tubular steel, it has become a symbol of the triumph of mankind for contemporaries, and the stagnation of that era for posterity. Belief in the peak of the evolution of mankind was washed away by the great depression and social evolution, and the author’s metaphor was preserved and became a classic.
Ball Chair - Eero Aarnio 1960
Technological evolution, space exploration and globalization of the second half of the 20th century inspired the author to create a designer chair devoid of sharp forms, similar to the “spaceship of the future” and at the same time screaming about the need for personal space.
The chair inspired not only the thinkers of the generation, but also the furniture industry, becoming an integral symbol of that era. The designer's concept turned out to be prophetic, many problems raised by his design remain relevant to this day. An innovator for contemporaries and a prophet for posterity, Eero Aarnio has written his name in the history of design.
GHOST CHAIRS - PHILIPPE STARCK 2002
The symbol of our era. Strong and durable as our society, transparent and understandable as the world that we see through the prism of technology. But the author calls it: the chair is a ghost.
So the author sees our era. We can argue or agree with him, but we are simply obliged to assess the depth of the story told.
