Proust armchair by Alessandro Mendini | THE WEEKLY WANT
Just like the owners 19th century palace in Pszczyna, many artists today are inspired by baroque (and no wonder!). In 1978, during the peak of post-modern estethic, an Italian Alessandro Mendini designed an armchair named Poltrona di Proust. Like other post-modern era artists he belived that in art everything had happened already, and what one can do is reuse old patterns in new way. I am not quite fond of postmodern art but I surely appreciate this armchair, its quite amusing.
In the project of the armchair he used the form of 17th century bergere.
The first version of the armchair was made of wood, upholstered and painted with hundreds of dots. The pattern was inspired by paintings of French Post-Impressionist, Paul Signac, Mendini's favorite painter. You can have a closer look at the dots here.
What's interesting, the armchair perfectly inscribes cube 100x100x100 cm.
Great contemporary interior with Poltrona di Proust.
Second version of the upholstery - Poltrona di Proust Geometrica.
