Marcel
A metal and leather armchair wrapped in a hand-crocheted textile mesh.
STORY BEHIND
For many years, this chair, Marcel Breuer style, stood in the waiting room of my father's medical practice in the French countryside. A familiar presence throughout my childhood, I would see it every time I visited him.
Today, it is the last surviving piece of furniture from that waiting room.
I have given it a second life, wrapping its familiar structure in crochet. Its transformation brings together two worlds: the history held within an everyday object and the possibility of seeing it anew.
Marcel is more than a chair. It is a fragment of memory, preserved and transformed.
