I’m sure the original stools were way more interesting to look at than these castings, from both design, social, cultural and historical point of view. Incinerating them is not the way to preserve them, and you’re not paying hommage to their makers by doing so either.

Unfortunately, all this unique and modern “street furniture” of the people is doomed to disappear just as quickly as all other vernacular furniture has disappeared, due to a lack of true interest.

I was really happy to see, between all these golden coated designstuff in Miami, these honest and poetic pieces, that show the beauty of things we don’t see anymore. I like this narrative critical approach and imagination.
Great works, a big fan.
