Design Künstlerstuhl (Artist’s Chair), Franz West

‘I came to art via the places where artists meet, places where you would go and sit,’ once recalled Franz West. In these Künstlerstuhl (Artist’s Chairs), he brings his artistic touch to where it all began. The late Austrian artist was celebrated all over the world for his abstract and interactive sculptures, and his foray into furniture design reflected his passion for the relationship between art and social experience, viewer and object. The chairs were even the subject of an exhibition at David Zwirner in 2019, who described them as ‘among the most comfortable that I’ve come across.’
