About the Item

Dutch design reworked by Atelier Staab in Frankfurt am Main home of European art and design. Abroaded, hand painted in red, green and gold, finished in 2K high gloss lacquer. This perfect example of redesign combines two different wood types, plywood and hardwood. Original designed as a comfortable, ergonomic desk chair. Signed by the artist. Contemporary design meets sculptural work and functional design. Markus Friedrich Staab : • born 1964 in Aschaffenburg, Germany • since 1986 active as a visual artist • since 1989 national and international exhibitions/releases • since 2010 work with functional art Furniture has been with us almost since the beginning of time, not just for practical purposes, but as an expression of derivation, of religion, of hierarchy or as objects of utility. Functional pieces has served each one of us since childhood and surround us every day without adequate prception. Through my work I alter existing furniture into unique and individual objects. Mass-produced and homogenous pieces transubstantiated into singular and unique workings by employing original craftsmenship and design as the basis for this work. Sustainability, reclamation and loyalty are my cornerstones to create contemporary but atemporal, out of the box but classic furniture. I am particularly interested to give value to overlooked, already used and matured pieces. To suit my taste I endow it with a new meaning, a different assignation, a changed look and design. Through this process the item become a self-sufficient piece of applied serviceable art, functional and ready to use.
