“Lasso”
“Lasso”
Price On Request
A series of converted readymade riding saddles, "Lasso" takes the form of domestic seating. Made from a retired piece of sporting equipment, the saddle takes on a new meaning-shifting the erratic movement of a rider on horseback into the mundane, monotonous back and forth of a simple rocking chair. An apparent absence: no horse, no stable, no riding, "Lasso" lacks its original intended context, and when seen in a typical domestic space, its shape appears strange and atypical. Its most chair-like quality is its obvious reference to the classic Thonet bentwood chair design, found en masse alongside the sidewalk cafés of European capitals.
