Dialogue of art and architecture
The chair was created at the special request of Museum Jerke in Recklinghausen, Germany, the only museum of Polish contemporary art outside of Poland. The inspiration for creation of the J-CHAIR was the architectural form of the museum itself and the composition by Polish painter Władysław Strzemiński Flat Construction (Breakage of a Black Rectangle) (1923). Both give the impression that the composition of the image as well as the design of the building have visible divisions and cuttings.
ILLUSTRATED TALES | J–CHAIR - Katarzyna Bogucka
As the J-CHAIR insists on speaking up, we invited Katarzyna “Nioska” Bogucka into this flourishing sphere. We engaged her narrative style—to translate and freeze-frame the J-CHAIR’s complex story in an everyday moment. The little chit-chats bring everyday and extraordinary topics to light—illustratively told by Nioska’s energetic, oval lines.
The stories of J-CHAIR serve as a kind of prelude to a new project, Zieta Illustrated, whose first fruits we will see at this year's edition of the Warsaw Home design fair.
