Description
Pierre Castignola (born 1995) Not a plastic chair Cast bronze, polished 2025 H56 W57 D83 cm 45kg With *Not a Plastic Chair*, Pierre Castignola subverts the conventions of the one-piece plastic chair, a universal industrial object and symbol of mass production. By casting this familiar form in polished bronze, the artist radically transforms its materiality, weight and status. The contrast between the object’s apparent banality and the preciousness of the bronze transforms this archetypal chair into a true sculptural piece. Its title, Not a Plastic Chair, ironically highlights this ambiguity between a functional object, an icon of everyday life and a work of art. Created in 2025 as a unique piece, this work straddles the boundary between contemporary art and collectable design.
