This chair is part of a collaborative series that positions furniture as a canvas for emotional and painterly expression. This piece is an experimental seating object and functional artwork. It is intended for light domestic use and display rather than everyday dining. Made from repurposed scaffolding boards and conceived as a functional artwork, the piece exists between use and display, where surface, structure, and narrative are equally important.
The collaboration features oil painter Mima Adams, whose practice explores experiences and people that leave a lasting emotional impression. Her work is driven by an intense sensitivity to colour, drawing violets from grey skies and pinks and yellows from moments of intimacy, laughter, and shared space. Rather than depicting a literal scene, she translates atmosphere and feeling through intuitive mark making and richly layered paint.
On this chair, thick impasto strokes form an expressive landscape of grass, flowers, and sky. The surface feels alive with movement, texture, and colour, capturing a romanticised impression of nature rather than a fixed place. The exaggerated palette and tactile application of paint preserve a fleeting emotional state, turning the chair into a sculptural record of memory and sensation. Through this collaboration, the act of sitting becomes an encounter with colour, texture, and the emotional intensity of lived experience.
