Mirror Chair No. 1
Kai Linke
2009
Frankfurt-based designer Kai Linke bases his design on the properties of the material: Is it castable, pliable, or solid? Reflective, opaque, or translucent? His designs often point beyond function to the semantic character of things—like this Mirror Chair No. 1, which can be understood more as a commentary than a utilitarian object. Created from two fused Monobloc plastic chairs, it clearly shows its origins as a chair, but no longer functions as such because it obviously prevents the user from sitting down on the seat. At the same time, it seems as if two pieces of furniture are holding hands or mirroring each other’s existence as chairs.
