Enzo Iorio, one of the participants, asked me to have a look at Ri-Parliamone.it
Enzo came together with a group of creative friends on occasion of their participation in the Cartasia 2010 Biennial of Contemporary Art which will be held in Lucca, Italia from June 19 – July 18, 2010.
It gave them the opportunity to rethink the use of old books that are about to end in a trash bin. They decided to give the old books a second life as chairs. The installation by Ri-Parliamone was showcased during a preview of the 2010 Biennial in Lucca from September 5 – October 3, 2009.
The books are soaked in a solution of water and vinyl glue to give them the necessary rigidity and resistance. Once dry they are given a coat of water-based paint. Subsequently they are assembled on a pallet, glued together and connected internally by a small metallic structure which guarantees its stability.
Being exposed to all weather conditions for a month, a transparent coat of water resistant paint is given for further safety.
apart from reading books, we can sit comfortably on a “mountain” of books
Thank you, Enzio! Great Idea!

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:-)

An ODE is a lyrical poem that pays respect to that which inspired it

In this case the communication was a hung-in-my-spam-filter-comment at my significant other blog Happy Hotelier, but nevertheless Jolyon communicated with me:-)

Hey Jolyon! from what I know about SEO optimization, I hope you don’t have the same content on two websites! Duplicate content makes you less likely to find in this ocean they call The Internet!

“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?)
