Product info
The Scrap Chair, following on from Jerszy Seymour’s idea about what is ‘modern modern’ and the ‘every-topia’, would be a platform for Prometheus to rest after having stolen fire from Zeus.
Made from easily available standard aluminium sheet and rectangular tube simply welded together, it is at the same time pure shape and the spectacle of the cantilever, and a non-technocratic object and ‘amateur’ without overstatement, in some ways special and in otherways not special at all.
Jerszy Seymour considers design as the generalist project and works in the widest range of contexts with some feeling of a dirty idealism mixed with conspiracy, producing objects, actions and strategies for companies such as Magis, Vitra, Moulinex, Vodaphone and Alessi to projects in galleries and museums. He is represented by Gallery Kreo in Paris and his work is in the permanent collection of many museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Fond National d’Art Contemporain in Paris, the MAK in Vienna and the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein.
