Art Keukenhof is a lesser known part of the famous Dutch Spring Flower Show Keukenhof. I visited it last Friday and found this Mr Van Der Meer Kangaroo Chair sculpture. I even offers a comfy seat. I had to wait my turn in a queue before I could take my own photo of it. Details of the sculptor were not available, but the Keukenhof site advises to mail them.

Meet Claudie Bastide, a French Chair Sculptor. She has nothing with design and doesn’t care whether a chair she sculpted sits well. She uses the chair as a metaphor to tell us something…. and she has been bugging me to feature her for months so she has patience (which is the same word with the same meaning in French as in English).

Chair Candy will be the name of the little series of photo’s I will showcase here. I took them at The Paris Centre Pompidou in February, 2009, when there was a Ron Arad overview Exhibition. This is one of my faves: The Stair Chair (at least that is what I coined it)

tywkiwdbi means “Things You Wouldn’t Know If We Didn’t Blog Incessantly….Excellent title! Here I found the first hint of this Edward VII Love Chair.
According to Filthy Gorgeous Things this Siège d’Amour was commissioned for when Edward VII visited his favorite Parish establishment in the 1890ies. You can read more about it in the UK’s The First Post Two is a company, Three is a Sex Throne. It appears the original is still in use in Paris, but the photo shows a replica in a museum in Prague…Definitely an item for Chair Whore:-)

“The King’s Mom is His Throne” is a sculpture by Dutch Sculptor Ingrid Rollema.
It was placed in the “Kloosterkerk” in The Hague where I took this photo on occasion of the official opening of The 2009 The Hague Sculpture exposition.
The sculptor explains that without his mom (His Throne) a king is a very ordinary person… even maybe a nobody.
The Hague Sculpture is a one person exposition of Mexican Sculpor Javier Marin …. who himself doesn’t have a passion for chairs (yet?)
