a collaboration
It all started when hanne walked into my gallery at ærø in denmark…
Hanne is a super talented and very engaged woman who has a small studio at Cote de Azur in France where she redesigns old chairs - and give them a new life. Just what I like.
Le CC CHAIR is part of the COSMIC CHAOS SHOW since it touches on various topics I think are important for FUTURE LIVING - If you go to my intro you will find a slightly more detailed explanation about these various topics - so for now they listed here since they are a kind of check-list - for myself but also for you who might be interested in this piece of work - you can click here for more info:
Its about QUALITY and about a lot of other topics such as:
ETERNAL TRANSFORMATION
this chair is eternal - its living its maybe 2 or 3rd life now in a new version.
- FREEDOM
its also about Freedom - freedom of expression. I believe that we need to start to make individual products again - we will start to consume less and better things and that will give us freedom…
- PLANETWISE / WORLDWISE / WORLDWISDOM / PLANETWISDOM
We need to profoundly change and become what I for years have called "planet-wise" - "kloge-kloge" in Danish - and I suppose it sort of is self explanatory why this chair is PLANETWISE - its for of all an old product being redone - second the materials used are as eco friendly as possible.
- CREATIVITY
As I see it all creatives are "midwifes for helping humans find the lost creativity" - helping humans becoming profoundly creative again - through a project like this creativity flourishes - the intention is that you as a buyer of this chair eventually can be part of the process of making it.
- JOY
We need to acknowledge the joy of being alive and being healthy - and a chair like this I think could bring joy to many.
- HEDONISM & EPICURIANISM
The CC Chair has a kind of hedonistic - or as I would prefer epicurian dimension - however I suppose thats up to the new owner to decide.
- RECOGNITION
We need to recognize ourselves - and each other - we all dom different things in life - diversity is extremely important - I think by supporting and realizing projects like this we recognize Hanne who is the maker of the chair - and one out of many who are taking up old crafts and modernizing them - bravo..
- RESPONSIBILITY
We need to be responsible again - and using less resources by using old furniture is of course very responsible when it comes of sustainable development.
- MANGFOLD / DIVERSITY
this is a different product / design - its a fusion of many things - for me its embracing UNIVERSAL MANGFOLD, which I believe is essential for the survival of humans - if we dont get it the coming decades we might eradicate - or become eradicated….. we need to understand that we are all different - and that TASTE is also very different - esthetics is a difficult one but by allowing MANGFOLD we support peace and prosperity - and at the same time we make a stunning world full of color and diverse forms and shapes and …..
-SENSUSTAINABILITY
- this is for me a very SENSUSTAINABLE work - I profoundly love this project of work as an example of how we can create stunning projects with less resources and still be us… I LOVE Le COSMIC CHAOS CHAIR - and thanks a billion to Hanne for realizing and old dream.
