Applying the principles of Cubism to design, Grebin masterfully deconstructs the traditional shapes and detailing of a “dad’s chair” and the “family room sofa” into simplified geometric shapes and interlocking planes. Working with a master upholster in Berlin the resulting seating is hand-crafted with the highest possible level of materials and workmanship. He describes the pieces as “living sculptures, which puts the traditional views about comfort and taste into question.” The “dad’s chair” a wing back style that dates back centuries has been re-analyzed, broken down and reassembled into Grebin’s “Cozy Chair...
