About the Item

A nice vintage Harp chair was likely designed by Jorgen Hovelskov and manufactured by Christensen & Larsen, Mobelhadvaerk, Copenhagen in 1960s. Its unique form was inspired by a Viking ship bow section. The expertly crafted frame, in solid walnut, anchors the hypnotic weaving of the flag line, giving the chair an airy optical complexity. The current one has a taller and narrower profile than the usual model by Jorgen Hovelskov.

Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Sculpture Honma Hideaki
By Honma Hideaki
Located in Atlanta, GA
A bamboo table top sculpture by Japanese bamboo artist Honma Hideaki (b. 1959) made in early 2000s. The basket form sculpture was a creative ikebana and could be used as such or simply as a okimono (decorative piece). The piece is of an unusual oval dish form with the wall irregularly outlined with bent bamboo, thousand-line construction form the upper part of the wall and the patterned twining was added in the lower part to give it a visual shift from airiness to solidity. A large piece of bamboo was selected as the base. Signed "Hide" underneath. An American Midwest collection. Honma Hideaki was born in Sado, Niigata prefecture. He studied under Honma Kazuaki...

Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture by Honda Syoryu
By Honda Shoryu
Located in Atlanta, GA
Entitled "Rhythm", this abstract sculpture was made by Japanese bamboo artist Honda Syoryu (Japanese, born 1951) in 2005. The free vertical form defies the limit of the traditional material bamboo as a rigid medium, and instead displays a nearly impossibly fluidity. Rooted in ages of tradition of Japanese basket weaving, the artist managed to break that ikebana tradition using bending and twisting techniques to create a pure sculptural work. The work is a testament of how traditional craft can be reinvented into modern art form. Signed with carved signature "Syoryu" underneath. The sculpture is displayed on a custom-made stand and can be appreciated from all angles. It comes with its original box and cloth, with label and Japanese inscription as shown. Provenance: Purchased in 2005 from Tai Modern...
