Wear a chair

Different ways a chair can be represented

Pablo Reinoso

Pablo Reinoso, an artist and furniture designer, adapts the traditional aesthetics of antique chair designs to create unique works of wood art and fashion.

Here is a wooden dress which is meant to look like a part of a chair. The chair bottom has been flipped backward, the back has been elongated and the central structure forms a kind of skirt. Even though there is a limit to how useful and comfortable these pieces are, it makes you think about how you can take an everyday item and use it in a completely new context which then inspires you to think about the use of it in its new context. 


I particularly like his work as I love the way he has adapted the chair and the different parts of it so that you can actually wear it to some extent, still keeping the original forms of a chair. I also like the fact that you can tell that each one of his designs is part of a chair as he as positioned the parts as if you were actually sitting down on a chair.
