Via Design Boom new york design week 2008: context furniture
During art basel 2008 the peter c. neumann gallery in basel held an exhibition of work by the artist thomas schriefers and the designer ezri tarazi. The armchair ‘defocus’ is assembled by attaching two sofa contours shifted from one another and combined together. The shifted framework line creates, for the purpose of ergonomic, comfortable seating angle as well, a sensation of an object seen through a lens that disperses the visual focus. the seat and the back-rest surfaces are made of parts of road banners seen on the way to Jerusalem, symbolizing in their language the secondary focus of yerushalayim, jerusalem and al-quds.’

And this was the beginning of Chairs and Building … It’s a chair designer’s blog!
This is the beginning of archiving a years worth of work and putting it out into the world. Currently, Caleb and I are getting ready for a show at the Gestarc Gallery in Brooklyn and these chairs will also be exhibited at the Design Within Reach Store on Columbus Ave. in Manhattan. The opening is April 24th, 2008. The Gestarc opening is on May 1st,2008. More chairs and buildings tomorrow.
