Let’s sit down to begin observing. 
Not the occupied chair, because when seated, it becomes invisible.
Only its back emerges.
Like a silhouette from behind, one wonders who it could be, what does he/she/they look like.
Here it is a skyscraper.
Manhattan Chair, 2018
SEGMENT OF A SKYLINE
Beech, mat varnish
35L x 42P x 108H cm
13 3/4W x 16 9/16D x 42 1/2H in
My first transposition was the making of a chair.
Its straight back was ideal to support to represent my vision of the city.
For a series of chairs, the undulation of the backrests would vary to represent the skyline of your choice.
For music lovers, I could also make real musical chairs and transpose into the cleats, the notes of your favorite chorus.
The seat of the chair is COM (Customer’s Own Fabric)
