David Byrne's eclectic chairs
You may know David Byrne as a musician, author, and PowerPoint experimenter, but he also thinks about and designs chairs:
"Why chairs? Well, they have arms and legs and vaguely human scale – and shape. They're people – they hold you, support you, elevate you or humble you. They're funny or elegant, funky or gorgeous, social or aloof. They're characters with lives and histories...aren't they?"
Byrne's "Furnishing the Self – Upholstering the Soul" is at Pace/MacGill Gallery gallery in New York through November 25. Details here. (Thanks, Danielle Spencer!)
