About the Item
While Thierry Despont (1948 - 2023) was best-known for his architectural practice—for his integral role in the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, his re-imagining of the Ritz in Paris, and the interiors of the Getty Center (as well as for his notable private clients like Bill Gates and Calvin)—he was also an accomplished painter, sculptor, author, and furniture maker.
In his furnishings, often made as one-offs or in small editions, there can be seen evidence of his encyclopedic knowledge of design. He drew inspiration from (and often improved upon) a wide variety of elegant or ingenious works by the many historically important furniture makers he revered.
Inspired by the modernist designs of the 1930s, the blue piping of this very comfortable chair cleverly outlines its volumes, giving the sense of two dimensions drawn over three.
