STOLEN ÄR ETT RUM I RUMMET
like small architecture, the chair can be seen as a room in itself, a room where to sit.
“the chair is an infinite object. the reason for so long a life lies in the simplest of possibilities: chairs are never ending because the perfect chair has never been achieved.
` when it comes to chairs, decision is more important than ambition, limitation more important than aspiration
` chairs have value in themselves
` a good chair lives and let’s live
` they are the pieces of furniture closest to us
` chairs talk, in the past and future tens
` there they are, weaving the extraordinary, embracing that double paradoxical quality of being both pedestrian objects and coveted symbols at one and the same time, a paradoxical image in which restlessness coexists alongside rest
` the task of a seat is a difficult one: to bear the unbearable, to be below all and to achieve rest for all.”
[Anatxu Zabalbeascoa. ‘the century through chairs’]
