About the Item

A heavy statement chair, with volumes reminiscent of brutalist architecture and deep textured voids. Depth of details are emphasized when the light reaches the voids, while the simple exterior planes become monochromatic geometric shapes. Surprisingly comfortable, the solid gyspsum cement is sealed with an acrylic varnish, keeping it clean. About the Future Fossils Collection, winner of the ICFF Editor's Award for Best Furniture in 2022 (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) Future Fossils is a collection of new works by Simon Johns, using mimicry in materials, loosely referencing the sedimentary striations in million years old stone. This collection explores positives and negatives of both extrusions and voids, in both gypsum cement and slip-cast stoneware. The traces of natural looking elements are preserved in mold-like voids. The pieces are really furniture, but also seem like documents, celebrating the traces of something lost.

Missisquoi 01 Coffee Table (Edition 4 of 13) by Simon Johns
By Simon Johns
Located in East-Bolton, Quebec
Missisquoi 01 is a numbered and asymmetrical two part coffee or cocktail table, with a space that divides it as the river divides the Missisquoi Valley. The black ashwood was felled, milled and dried near the studio, and the stone is from the river's banks. The stone and plank that support the two parts form a continuous axis end to end, through the divide. The beauty of the Brutalist natural stone contrasts and converses with the delicate craftsmanship of the wood plateau...
