Gaudi

Original chair was found in Scheveningen, it's a rattan chair very strong and quite heavy.

 After a nice WE in Barcelona, I decided to customised this chair into a Gaudi chair!

 The chair was covered with papier maché to have a nice structure to glue the paper mosaic. I used 3 main colors: blue, red and yellow and in each color I used between 3 and 7 shades. I teared up old newspaper (from Albert Hein), separated the colors and glued to the structure.

The seat and the front are blue, the edge is red and some yellow spots have been added on the armrest and the top of the chair.

Sides are green with yellow laces moving to the front.

Tree Chair...

Or the mosaik chair, I really hesitated.

The original design chair was not in a good shape. The black skai was torn on the armrests, the seat was broken and the grey painting not so fresh.

After removing the skai and clean the whole, the chair was covered by mosaik. The shape leads the idea of a "vegetal chair" so the basic colors are green, blue and brown.

Café de Liège is written on the back in a Art nouveau written style. You can see the green leaves on the left. there are made of paper, glue, iron wire, painted and vernished.











The armrests have been polished several times to give a smooth feeling. Some peebles have been added to break lines and give a "natural" curvy shape at the whole.
