Do Not Sit Chair 2015

by Fred Ganim

The ‘Do Not Sit’ seat – “so-named because mum kept propping on it before it was sealed” – features fluid legs that are legible as a ‘Z’ on the side. It harks back to the bended lines of Marcel Breuer’s 1930’s ‘Long Chair’ with a bit of post-modernist 1980’s Memphis thrown in. But there’s none of the flashy colours of Sottsass and crew, rather a raw Australian honesty that lets the solid maple timber express.
