Black Is Beautiful Table Contemporized by Markus Friedrich Staab, 2022

About the Item

Nelson Hotel Lobby Table contemporized, re-shaped, glass plate added, painted and lacquered by artist Markus Friedrich Staab. Through my work I transform furniture into a unique and individual object. Furniture that once were mass-produced and homogenous, become singular and unique: re-cycled, re-furbished, re-mixed and re-decorated. I am particularly interested to give value and meaning to something that has been overlooked. To free the object from its traditional use and turn it into something special. Through this process the chair that was once used on a daily basis, becomes a self-sufficient piece of art. Hereby we explore traditional historical objects that gain value by a mere change of perspective. It is these themes of chairs as sculptural objects and art as object of utility that I am particularly fascinated by. It is the love for the daily things that we surround ourselves with, their unique shape and expression, that give me hope that not all is lost to pure consumerism and IKEAlisation.
