Frequent Art Questions
Could I hear more about this chair? I find it interesting how the seat and front legs look so different from the back.
That is a very unique chair! It was manufactured by Uhuru Design, a Brooklyn-based furniture company known for its focus on sustainability and up-cycling of used materials.The chair back is made from a found Louis XVI-style fragment, and the seat and front legs are made of simply welded steel plate and aluminum.
