About the Item

Vergangenheit Schmiedet Zukunft Chair by Markus Friedrich Staab One of a Kind Dimensions: D 37 x W 58 x H 78 cm. Materials: Wood, paint, lacquer. Bavarian Armchair ca. 1860, contemporized to be a contemporary sculptural design piece. Two legs added by Ebonist Toni Menacher, intarsie of a disco ball added to the seat, painted and lacquered with violine varnish. Markus Friedrich Staab Furniture has always surrounded us. Furniture is not just made up of functional objects. Furniture is an expression of its times. It tells us about something: its use, its worth and its owners, and of its value. A roughly crafted wood-plank chair in a farmer’s kitchen, a fancy dining room chair for formal gatherings, an extroverted Rietveld, or a modern architect’s or design aficionado’s cantilever chair. Each object holds layers of stories, cultural and personal, that live inside its shape and on its surface; fissures, chips, and other signs of use and wear. Objekts we surround ourselves are representatives of being, expressions of taste. They show what we like, what we respect, what we like to have around us, and what they mean. Through their presence, I take a stance. These pieces of furniture are the starting point of my work. Factory produced functional objects are liberated from their original meaning, condition and do undergo a transformation that becomes an art object with singular intrinsic value. I work with carefully curated chairs, different types of furniture, objects that were possibly left unnoticed, unappreciated. I lift them out of mundane existence, try to free them from disregard, careless handling, and a general state of being overlooked. These are my aspirations!
