During NYC Design Week 2019, The Future Perfect presented THE CHAIR, an exhibition of one-of-a-kind chairs from an international roster of artists and designers.
For this special exhibition, The Future Perfect decided to answer some of these questions by issuing artists, industrial designers, ceramicists, sculptors and interior designers with a brief to create a single chair of their own imagination. The final selected works, which range from fully functional examples to pieces of pure art and sculpture, will be one-of-a-kind pieces for sale exclusively through The Future Perfect. The resulting show is ambitious and the results are vital and often surprising, much like The Future Perfect’s gallery program.
The Future Perfect exhibited interpretations of chairs by the following artists, designers and manufacturers: Ada Blecher, Alex P White, Alex Reed, Ara Thorose, Bari Ziperstein, Bec Brittain, Ben Barber, Bower Studios, Brendan Timmins & Alex Segreti, Brett Douglas Hunter courtesy of Kinder Modern, Charlap Hyman & Herrero, Charles De Lisle, Chen Chen & Kai Williams, Chris Wolston, Christian Woo, Christopher Stuart, David Weeks, Desert Cast, Eric Roinestad, EWE Studio, Fernando Mastrangelo, Floris Wubben, Giancarlo Valle, Jason Koharik, John Hogan, Jorge Penadés, Karl Zahn, Katie Kimmel, Kelly Behun, Kelly Wearstler, Marcin Rusak, Martino Gamper, Nicole Hollis, Omer Arbel, Piet Hein Eek, Pinch, Reinaldo Sanguino, Pinch, Ryosuke Yazaki, Sam Stewart, Serban Ionescu, Seungjin Yang, Tanya Aguiniga courtesy of Volume Gallery, Trueing, Tyler Hays, Vonnegut/Kraft, and Paul Wackers courtesy of Morgan Lehman Gallery.
