Handmade Lounge Chair With Custom Printed Silk Upholstery & Rebar Metallic Frame

About the Item

Custom-made lounge chair with one hundred percent silk upholstery in original graphic textiles. The frame is made from 1" construction rebar. The same kind of steel that is used to reinforce concrete in bridges and skyscrapers. The upholstery is hand sewn in places by a master upholsterer. The frame is hand bent with the use of a forge by using extreme heat. After the frame is formed it is sandblasted, cleaned and prepped for powder coating. The powder coat is a two-part gold metallic flake paint that adds a slight metallic golden sparkle to the steel frame. The silk print is an original hand-drawn graphic textile printed in the United Kingdom. The internal frame is made from Russian plywood and solid maple hardwood. Troy Smith is a Canadian artist, designer, sculptor and painter whose extraordinary art has garnered international attention. From notable galleries, private collectors, interior designers, architects and individuals who covet and curate innovative contemporary art. Using furniture to express his creativity, Smith's eclectic collection of works embodies meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional beauty. Troy epitomizes the definition of a modern-day Renaissance man, expressing his passion for all things beautiful. He travels extensively to international design and fashion capitals. He regularly visits world-famous museums, galleries and architectural landmarks to explore and experience emerging trends of iconic creations in art and design. These influences are a constant source of inspiration and apparent in Smith's furniture, abstract paintings and sculpture. Troy's creative process begins with hand-drawn conceptual sketches, transferred to professional shop drawings and then rendered in 3D to refine each design's form, material, function and intricacies. Troy uses artisan craftsmanship and luxury materials to develop proportion, scale and finish in an original design language. Curators, designers and private clients may commission one-of-a-kind pieces. Troy's furniture has been referred to as avant-garde, visionary and classic. There is intrinsic power in its simplicity, clean lines and fluidity, which is why Smith's exquisite statement pieces are destined to become design classics. His art has been featured in international design fairs, prestigious exhibitions and prominent design magazines. Each piece Troy creates fulfills his mantra, "You can't just create art, you must give it life."
