Description
Ettore Sottsass
Hydebarad
Seat
Polychrome marble
H79 W117 D66 cm
280 kg
Weighing in at two hundred and eighty kilograms of polychrome marble, Hydebarad takes Ettore Sottsass’s conception of furniture as architecture to the extreme. The chair is no longer a lightweight object to be moved about, but a domestic monument, almost a throne, composed of stones of different hues assembled like the elements of a building. This penchant for the juxtaposition of materials and colours, at the heart of the Memphis aesthetic, finds a particularly solemn expression in marble. An exceptional piece, straddling the boundary between sculpture and furniture.
