- Lot Description
Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Matali Crasset (French, b. 1965)
Marking(s); notes: no marking(s) apparent
Materials: painted wood
Dimensions (H, W, D): 16.5"h, 24"dia
Additional Information: The stools were constructed from dismantled elements of Matali Crasset’s installation for the “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” exhibition at The Wolfsonian, Florida International University, Miami, in 2011. Crasset’s bold use of color and modular form places her in conversation with designers such as Ettore Sottsass, Andrea Branzi, and Gaetano Pesce."The installation design, conceived as a collaboration among Matali Crasset, M/M Paris, and Alexandra Midal, will be staged on wood units that can be assembled to serve as stools, plinths, pedestals, or other display elements; all units will be painted blue, white or red in reference to the French flag. The units are based on the Modulor, the celebrated measuring system that Le Corbusier created in 1943. Modular is a measuring tool based on the human body and on mathematics. A man-with arm-upraised provides, at the determining points of his occupation of space—foot, solar plexus, head, tips of fingers of the upraised arm—three intervals which give rise to a series of golden sections. It was the organizing measure for Le Corbusier’s designs, from chairs and tables to la Cité Radieuse." (source: matalicrasset.com)
