About the Item

Sleek and refined contemporary dining chair composed of polished industrial aluminium and mahogany veneered birch wood by London-based designer EJR Barnes. A harmonious juxtaposition of materials is at play - heavy metal and warm wood - giving this chair a balanced and grounded feel. The minimal construction provides an architectural silhouette, especially apparent in the profile view, in which the stark lines of each element, the folded aluminum forming the backrest and seat, and the superior finish of the fine wood veneered base, showcase the beauty of the materials in their purity, creating a perfect backdrop for light to reflect off while accomplishing an overall sense of quiet restraint. Two editions of the chair are immediately available and on view at our gallery in New York City; one in mahogany veneer and one in white birch veneer. Forward editions are made to order in the UK with a lead time of 12 to 14 weeks. Customization options are available for type of wood veneer of the base, including mahogany, walnut, white birch. Artist Information: Elliot ‘EJR’ Barnes is an artist and designer based in East London. Known for romantic yet pragmatic works, his autodidactic practice is unbound by the emotional barriers of a formal training and somewhat undefined, existing in the gray area between decorative art and industrial design. Outside of time and elegantly non-conformist, Barnes explores the allure of aesthetic sophistication through the practical process of fabrication and operational ease. Choosing materials that lie just outside of the contemporary vernacular, he finds ways to elevate the otherwise ordinary through the transformative act of sharp-witted process. ‘I have no interest in throwing expensive materials at something for the sake of it’ Says Barnes; ‘I care much more about lifting more normal materials into the same realm... For example, folding steel is a fairly simple operation – and the material isn’t especially costly compared to more luxurious metals – but with the right drawings and attention to polishing, it can be extremely beautiful, and retain a subtle charm.”
