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 recasting this familiar form in cast and 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 one-off piece, this work straddles the boundary between contemporary art and collectable design.
