We just could not seem to get the ball rolling. The three chairs we made for the Kröller-Müller Museum booth had yet to have a sequel. We were often asked if we weren’t going to put the chairs, made of scrap wood like the scrap hut, into production.
The shape and construction of the chairs are limited considerably by the material, and they look like something out of a comic strip. Some even think that this crazy chair is my best chair design yet. I sometimes put aside unusual colours or types of scrap wood, only to discover that some miscreant has used the material for drawers for a scrap wood cabinet or even for simple carpentry work.
But we’ve now come so far as to have a nice collection of wood and, after almost ten years, have made the first series of twenty ‘Kröller-Müller’ chairs. The edition amount is linked to the amount of material which, right now, is extremely limited.
