Group 7: Emotive Figural Distortions, Surrealist Cubism, Futuristic Construction

Group 7 of Collection 001 embodies a bold exploration of form and emotion, merging the concepts of emotive figural distortions, surrealist cubism, and futuristic construction. This collection challenges the viewer’s perception of reality, using distorted figures and abstract shapes to convey a sense of surrealism and movement. Each chair is a sculptural statement, transforming traditional seating into a canvas for artistic expression that defies conventional design norms.

Inspired by the innovative works of Frank Gehry and Jean Dubuffet, these chairs blend organic forms with geometric distortions, creating pieces that are at once functional and fantastical. The intertwining rings, spheres, and abstract shapes evoke a sense of dynamic fluidity, as if the chairs are in a state of perpetual transformation. The collection’s use of surrealist cubism introduces an element of the unexpected, where familiar forms are distorted to the brink of abstraction, inviting viewers to engage with the pieces in new and imaginative ways. Group 7 is a celebration of creativity unbound, where the future of design is envisioned through a lens of playful experimentation and artistic courage.
