Bram geenen, Gaudi Chair, 2010. Synthetic Resin, Carbon Fiber.


Geenen examines the tools of the renowned architect Gaudi to create a stool. By hanging chains upside down, just as Gaudi did, Geenen arrived at the forms he wished to utilize for his stool in 2009, and then his chair in 2010. Legitimacy is granted to the project by the use of this technique. Questioning the value of attempts at legitimizing projects through canonical references is important if one believes a form should speak for itself.
