Here is a great contemporary spin on a pair of Victorian chairs."The 'Lathe Chair' series was conceived by rotating 19th-century chair shapes around a central axis to stretch them. The finished chairs were cast in bronze, like sculpture, but remain functional as furniture. The upholstery was digitally designed. The result is a marriage of tradition and modernity." Artist: Sebastian Brajkovic.
These chairs and other 'melded' objects feature in Telling Tales: Fantasy & Fear in Contemporary Furniture an exhibition currently showing at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. See the web version of the exhibition here.
