Chair No. 2 by Joseph Santiago-Dieppa

$3,200

Description: Hand-built in Los Angeles, this sculptural chair explores the language of industrial craftsmanship through interplay of repetition and flow. Spherical forms punctuate the vertical supports, recalling the ball-and-claw foot of historic furniture traditions, reimagined here with a modern vocabulary. Curved and bent steel lines expand and contract across the seat and back, shifting from areas of density to moments of openness. These variations create a dynamic sense of movement and breath within a rigid medium. The result is a work that oscillates between ornament and structure, past and present, paying homage to classic decorative motifs while asserting its own contemporary, handmade presence.
