Sarcastic Seating

In 56th Studio’s collection ‘Caricature as Furniture’, we see a different kind of seat. These chairs are communicative, exploring Pop and Hollywood culture through a graphic style inspired by caricature.

Just like a caricature, the chairs have exaggerated features, minimal lines and quirky forms. Enjoy.

“We decided to hijack mainstream cultures and pop icons such as well known singers, models, cartoon and movie characters and used them as a tool for communicating.”

“This project has turned into a playground of minimal lines, quirky forms and glitzy materials.”

“The result is, just like caricature drawing, a collection of chairs that is graphically sarcastic, animated in its details, and meticulously unique in the craft of upholstery.”
