Footnote?
The current lot is one of a limited edition of ten. It was produced in collaboration with the British interior-design brand OKA. OKA was founded in 1999 and specialises in an aesthetic which synergises world design influences and the British country house interior. Here, Arad has made alteration to OKA’s ‘Washakie Chair’. The chairs feature a Native American style ‘dream-catcher’ back, woven in rattan, above an overstuffed seat, and a hand-carved limed oak frame, on tapering and fluted legs. Arad has incorporated a shaped sheet consisting of a matt copper outer layer, and an inner layer of mirrored steel, which reflects and contorts the form of the chair, framing the object within a new context, and transforming how we interact with it. This design approach recalls Ron Arad’s ‘Chair by its Cover’ series of the late 1980’s, wherein he initially began experimenting with encasing chairs in polished steel. In the series, Arad took various forms of seating, from ordinary and commonplace dining chairs to Gerrit Thomas Rietveld’s ‘Zig-Zag’ chair and produced enveloping metal structures to surround them. The result is a dramatic positioning of the object at the centre, which in turn ascribes a sculptural significance to the piece.
?Each edition is adorned with a painted phrase to the reverse of the chair in Arad’s subversive and tongue-in-cheek style. Such phrases include ‘So Far So Good?’, ‘Some Of The People All Of The Time’, and the reassuring statement boldly applied on the piece offered here for sale; 'No Mistakes This Time'.
