Michal Řičica (1952) VARIABLE

The Variable chair is the continuation of a series of non-seat sculptures that entirely eliminate their original function. The chair becomes Řičica’s personal resistance against using it to sit. The usual models for comfortable sitting is transformed into edges; the seat disappears entirely; the backrest maximizes the sense of discomfort with its sharp angles. The rough colored patina contrasts with the natural wood grain.
