The Chair is based on an old wooden chair, from a charity shop.
In addition, recycled steel.
The "recycled Chair" is disassembled; The wooden backrest and rear legs sanded and painted black.
The solid steel, 8 mm thick, is hand bent and swelded together. Such formed into a seat and two front legs. Which is a labour-intensive process.
The wooden backrest and metal bottom are combined into a Chair.
The Chair is a stable struction. Beautiful by its contrast wood versus metal.
One is surprised about comfort. Unique. (the only one).
By the modular construction, the Chair is easy to recycle.

Robert Van Den Herik is a contemporary Dutch artist. Drawing inspiration from magical realism and surrealism, particularly from the works of Carel Willink and Salvador Dali, he embarked on his artistic journey. Following his education at the Design Academy Eindhoven, he initially pursued a career as a product designer for different companies. It was during this time that he introduced his own innovative product called the Shantala baby bath, revolutionizing the way babies are bathed.
As his artistic exploration deepened, he delved into the realm of "Art versus Design." He began creating lighting fixtures, furniture, and garden decorations, all meticulously crafted by hand. In these creations, aesthetics often took precedence over functionality, allowing his artistic vision to flourish.
