Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Dutch designer Lucas Maassen has 3 sons, Thijme (9), Julian (7) and Maris (7). For the Christmas Holidays he has employed all three of them. They are hired to paint the furniture which is build in dad’s factory. They get paid 1 Euro for every piece of furniture they paint. All as agreed by the contract they signed. But… dad shows the labor contract on his site: it is null and void, as an under age cannot sign for himself, his legal representative should sign. It is tongue in cheek chair art.
A sculpture by Israel Hadany giving me the impression of a seated lady. Where is the lady? Or, better, who is the lady? Ideal for our Chairchez La Femme series.
It is one in a series ‘Visual Memories’, ‘The Power of Presence’
