Set Piece Chair Destined For Deserving Fame

魅力十足而又有创意的瑞典人彼特安德森用它的幽默的扭曲手法做出的作品已使他获得了全球性的美名。“一个微笑就是对我的工作的最大回报”他说。真是一个理所当然而又无可厚非的愿望。但这件作品可不仅仅是为了搏您一笑，它应该能得到您高度的赞赏。第一眼看上去，他就像一张完美、实用的椅子——有着完美的手工的Tarsjo皮革椅面。但你仔细一看，就能发现它的不同之处和本来面目。一方面，它是一个具有讽刺意味的精简到极致的东西，另一方面，他又向您展示了在光鲜艳丽的外表下的内部结构——回想一下剧院或电影院里的椅子。哪个更美呢？是那肤浅的外表，还是那真实的、有想象空间的工艺和工程？彼特用那上腊的松木和硬橡胶完成的完美椅子内部工艺似乎已经回答了这个问题。一件名副其实的伟大作品。

The very engaging and ingenious Swede Peter Andersson has built up a worldwide reputation for creating pieces with a humorous twist. “A smile is the best feedback I can get for my work”, he says. An aspiration that no one could argue with. But this piece deserves more profound appreciation still. On first inspection, it appears like a perfectly functional easy chair - impeccably handcrafted in Tarsjo leather. But look a little further and its true excitement and originally is revealed. On the one hand, “Set Piece” is minimalism taken to an ironic extreme; on the other, it is a study in construction, a revelation of what lies behind the polished exterior - reminiscent of a glimpse in the wings of a theatre or a movie set. Which is more beautiful? The finished ’superficial’ performance or the ‘honest’ craft and engineering that permits the illusion. Peter’s immaculate finishing of the chair’s inner workings in waxed pine and ebony appears to answer his own question. A piece destined for deserving fame.
