In this private collection based in Geneva, the chairs are not an
assembly of objects of everyday use. They are a congregation of
creatures eluding their primary purpose as seating. Like a pendulum
swinging between design and art they do often permit this purpose,
but metaphorically exaggerated height and disassociation transform
the chairs into individuals, or sculptures exploring the uncertain
boundaries of physics. The book's generous layout allows readers to
immerse themselves in this cabinet of curiosities and give their
imagination free rein. Nicolas Polli and Jean Vincent Simonet use
their photographic essays to interpret the exhibits originating
from well-known artists and designers. The texts illustrate the
collection in terms of the friction between art and design, they
explain the collection's significance in the life of the collector,
and they discuss the general motives that lead to a passion for
collecting.
