A witty balance between craftsman carving and modern minimalism is achieved in 'My Family' by Sonia Verguet. The collection of chairs, stools and ottomans is full of recycled seating, with eclectic legs and untouched cubes of wood as seats.
The contemporary art center La Kunsthalle de Mulhouse has ordered for the production of 20 unique chairs, and individual orders can be made for the one-of-a-kind 'My Family' by Sonia Verguet seats, with a choice of one's preferred style of backrests and legs.
