Mirror Chair, from Skin collection
This is a Mirror Chair. It was designed by Pepe Heykoop.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Pepe Heykoop as part of Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.
A chair rescued from the trash heap is wrapped in leather scraps, providing a new skin and an opportunity to re-examine our relationship with everyday objects. The stark, geometric, mirror back stands in contrast to the organic forms created by the leather wrappings, and the new anatomy generated by familiar materials used in unexpected ways creates an object that is both recognizable and alien.
It is credited Museum purchase from designer.
